	Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Fascism: Past, Present, Future - Walter Laqueur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Fascism continues to fascinate historians and political scientists, both because the crushing of the fascist states in World War II did not completely destroy it as a political force and because it is so elusive a phenomenon.
		But Payne's book is particularly impressive because he tries to distinguish fascism from the radical right (more linked to religion, like the Action franchise) and the conservative right.
		Less rigorous in trying to distinguish fascism from other kinds of authoritarian movements, he includes a chapter on France in the 1930s and during the war and a chapter on fascism's fiasco in Britain.

	A Pledge Betrayed: Preface
		Creeping fascism refers to events themselves that may not be truly fascist in nature but when viewed in the context of a greater movement they can indeed be seen as part of a fascist movement or contributed to the rise of fascism.
		Since fascism is a top down movement all that is required is that the elite of that society begin to concentrate their power without regards to the masses.
		In any book such as this, which is primarily a survey of the subject, the various topics are numerous and a full discussion of any single topic is beyond the scope of this book.

	Harold Walsby - The Left Wing and Intellectualism
		Fascism was not the nurseling of a doctrine worked out beforehand with detailed elaboration; it was born of the need for action and was itself from the beginning practical rather than theoretical...
		Fascism arose, then, out of the din of unrecorded street-fights and the mess of factory brawls and the quick butchery of country-side ambushes, and emerged as a direct and violent will-to-power.
		It is completely characteristic of this aspect of Fascism in its early stages, both in Italy and in Germany, that the movement should have grown to full strength without either logical theory behind it, or cut-and-dried programme in front of it.

	The Voice of the Turtle
		Above all, by treating fascism principally as a distinctive constellation of ideas about politics and society, Dave thinks these approaches miss its essence, as a reactionary mass movement, the line of analysis developed by the Marxist thinkers, and which he expounds in the second half of the book.
		According to this analysis, fascism is a mass movement which originates outside of the mainstream state institutions, which flourishes in the wake of the failure of socialist advance, and which articulates the grievances of a section of the insecure middle class which feels itself squeezed between the big capitalists and the organised proletariat.
		Dave's book, on the other hand, begins and ends with his concerns about the importance of anti-fascist action in contemporary Europe, and it is clear that he judges strategies of academic inquiry in part by their possible contributions to an anti-fascist politics.

	On Fascism: A Note on Johannes Agnoli's Contribution \| libcom.org
		Fundamentally, Fascism is understood as a rescue-attempt of bourgeois relations with terrorist means in conditions of a deep crisis of capitalist accumulation and an entrenched working class whose social power although not of a revolutionary sort, was such that non-terrorist means of 'pacification', rather than providing a resolution, intensified the crisis.
		Fascism, for Nolte, was principally violent and terrorist and this character of Fascism he identifies as the left 'component' of Fascism.
		Fascism also attacked the reformist working class movement and focused the integration of the working class into the bourgeois 'system' on issues such as Volk where the mutual 'friends' gain a material existence not only through state organized 'pleasure trips' but also, and most importantly, through the deadly persecution of the 'foe'.

	The Anatomy of Fascism - PowerBookSearch!
		Fascism was the major political innovation of the twentieth century, and the source of much of its pain.
		It is the purpose of this book to propose a fresh way of looking at fascism that may rescue the concept for meaningful use and account more fully for its attractiveness, its complex historical path, and its ultimate horror.
		Paxton's first book, "Vichy France," has become the standard work in the field despite its once-controversial thesis (that the Vichy regime was not merely imposed by Nazis but had domestic roots); "The Anatomy of Fascism," based on decades of research and teaching, is likely to prove just as authoritative.

	Fascism: A History
		Since we are not dealing with a partisan tirade here, it is genuinely disturbing when Eatwell ends the book by suggesting that, though fascism died in a sense in 1945, it may well be about to experience a resurrection in time for a bright future in the 21st century.
		Nevertheless, fascism does have an intellectual history, and the phenomenon as a whole is not so diffuse as to defy definition.
		Fascism promotes ruthlessness for the same reason that it promotes conspiracy theories: for a fascist, nothing is going to happen unless some will makes it happen.

	D. Renton, Fascism and anti-fascism in Britain in the 1940s
		Renton attempts a definition of fascism and surveys the history of the groups which fit his definition from the 1930s, noting what he sees as the lenient treatment of fascists during the war (in comparison with that of many anti-fascist refugees) and their early release from detention.
		Fascism did not however, produce an official response from the Labour Party at the central level: opposition to fascism was conducted on a localised and often issue-specific basis.
		While both books pour some fresh ink on their subject, it is a shame that neither Renton nor Copsey consider using new colours of ink, or contesting the categories, the methodologies, and the approaches to the history of British fascism.

	Fascism, by Sheldon Richman: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		This collectivism is captured in the word fascism, which comes from the Latin fasces, meaning a bundle of rods with an axe in it.
		In economics, fascism was seen as a third way between laissez-faire capitalism and communism.
		Mussolini's fascism took another step at this time with the advent of the Corporative State, a supposedly pragmatic arrangement under which economic decisions were made by councils composed of workers and employers who represented trades and industries.

	Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number.
		Fascism is associated by many scholars with one or more of the following characteristics: a very high degree of nationalism, economic corporatism, a powerful, dictatorial leader who portrays the nation, state or collective as superior to the individuals or groups composing it.
		Fascism is also typified by totalitarian attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life: political, social, cultural, and economic; in the examples given, by way of a strong, single-party government for enacting laws and a strong, sometimes brutal militia or police force for enforcing them.

	[No title]
		Roger Griffin, in his book The Nature of Fascism (St. Martin's Press, 1991), attempts to define "generic fascism," which is the term he uses for those characteristics which are found in all fascist movements and ideologies, from Mussolini's Fascist Party to contemporary neo-fascist organizations.
		His book is one of the best I have read on the subject, and I believe he has correctly characterized the nature of fascism, a term which is invoked far more often than understood.
		An understanding of fascism is vital to the understanding of the modern world, if for no other reason than that it is a ghost which has continually refused to go away since it was first conjured in the chaotic aftermath of the First World War.

	Economic Fascism
		The essence of fascism, therefore, is that government should be the master, not the servant, of the people.
		Fascism would correct this by directing the economy toward "certain fixed objectives" and would "introduce order in the economic field." Corporatist planning, according to Mussolini adviser Fausto Pitigliani, would give government intervention in the Italian economy a certain "unity of aim," as defined by the government planners.
		The whole idea behind collectivism in general and fascism in particular is to make citizens subservient to the state and to place power over resource allocation in the hands of a small elite.

	The Mystery of Fascism by David Ramsay Steele
		Fascism was a movement with its roots primarily in the left.
		In part, this arises from the fact that "fascism" is a word used loosely to denote all the non-Communist dictatorships of the 1920s and 1930s, and by extension to refer to the most powerful and horrible of these governments, that of German National Socialism.
		Fascism both gave unchecked power to a single individual to commit such a blunder as to take Italy to war in 1940 and made this more likely by extolling the benefits of war.

	Book Review: Confronting Fascism
		The book is built around Don Hamerquist's essay, "Fascism and Anti-Fascism," which criticizes traditional leftist ideas (and current leftist complacency) about fascism, points to dangerous new potentials within the current neonazi scene, and offers a range of ideas for building a radical movement against both fascism and the capitalist state.
		A central theme of this book is that fascism is fundamentally hostile to both the left and the ruling class -- it is a revolutionary movement of the right.
		Hamerquist argues that fascism is a danger both in the US and globally not because it's about to seize power, but because it has the potential to become the main insurgent mass movement -- to "take the game away from the left" as Tom Metzger of White Aryan Resistance put it in the 1980s.

	Italian Life Under Fascism - The Racial Question
		This pseudonymous workbook of 1938 is another response to Paolo Orano's book Gli Ebrei in Italia, agreeing with Orano's contention that Jews, despite their small numbers, have a stranglehold on Italian life, dominating finance, industry, publishing, and so forth.
		Ironically, this champion of Fascism and his family were among the first victims of Nazi-Fascist persecution after Italy left the war in September 1943 and the Germans swiftly occupied the country.
		School book containing Fascist guidelines for the treatment of the races, especially Jews.

		Fascism is a hot-button word, and posting the sermon on the church website pushed the button.
		Fascism, as the marriage of business and government with business giving the orders, combined with an over-the-top nationalism, is the perfect ally to help keep people in an obedient rather than in an uppity mode.

		Yet the traumatic pattern of the hunter and the hunted, unfolded in Rebecca’s lifelong escape, never cripples her: she is liberated, made crafty, deepened by her ultimately successful flight.
		Everything in this book depends on Oates’s ability to bring a woman before the reader who is deeply veiled — whose real name is unknown even to herself — and she does it with epic panache.

		Many of fascism’s institutions were direct recreations of the ad hoc structures created to manage the economy during World War I, such as the committees or consortia run by businessmen, but sanctioned by the state, which allocated raw materials and foreign exchange.
		Moore argued further that fascism has not developed in its classical form in traditionally democratic societies because these societies were able to affect a more complete break with the feudal past and its social order of static mediocrity.
		The cult of youth was one of fascism's most successful forms of propaganda; fascist supporters were distinguished from those of other parties more by their age than their class.

	Confronting Fascism
		That is, fascism is a system of capitalist rule that would be more reactionary, more repressive, more imperialist, and more racist and genocidal than current 'normality' of ruling class policy.
		Many of those who see fascism as essentially capitalist also minimize the extent to which it is a sharp break with 'normal' forms of capitalist rule.
		Don Hamerquist, American author of Fascism and Antifascism, argues fascism has the potential to become a mass movement with a substantial and genuine element of revolutionary anti-capitalism; that simplistic viewpoints about fascism have been - and still are - paired with simplistic and inadequate anti-fascism.

	The Specter of Friendly Fascism excerpted from the book Friendly Fascism The New Face of Power in America
		If friendly fascism emerges on a full scale in the United States, or even if the tendencies in that direction become still stronger, countervailing forces may here too be created.
		Thus may the unfolding logic of friendly fascism-to borrow a term from Marx-sow the seeds of its destruction or prevention.
		Unlike the ideologies of classic fascism, however, these new ideologies on market virtue, hierarchic excellence, wondrous technology, and the goodness of hard times are not needed to mobilize masses to high peaks of emotional fervor.

		Ledeen later made clear that he relished the ire of the left-wing establishment precisely because “De Felice was challenging the conventional wisdom of Italian Marxist historiography, which had always insisted that fascism was a reactionary movement.” What de Felice showed, by contrast, was that Italian fascism was both right-wing and revolutionary.
		When he was later converted to it, Mussolini said that fascism drew on the universalist heritage of Rome, both ancient and Catholic.
		One of the greatest exponents of such youthful vitalism was the high priest of fascism, the poet and adventurer Gabriele D’Annunzio, to whom Ledeen devoted an enthusiastic biography in 1977.

	Fascism:Book Excerpt
		The rise of the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini in 1922 marked the beginning of an important period in the history of Italy.
		Fascism failed to eliminate political apathy and it did not increase confidence in the ability of the political process to solve basic social problems.
		In the end, the failure of Fascism ultimately reinforced the popular suspicion that politics responds far more readily to the pressure of powerful vested interests than to demands for social justice.

	The holy blitz rolls on \| Salon Books
		Let's start with the title of your book, "American Fascists." A lot of liberals who write about the right see echoes of fascism in its rhetoric and organizing, but we tiptoe around it, because we don't want people to think that we're comparing James Dobson to Hitler or America to Weimar Germany.
		You're right, fascism or fascist is a terribly loaded word, and it evokes a historical period, primarily that of the Nazis, and to a lesser extent Mussolini.
		Umberto Eco did it in "Five Moral Pieces," and I actually begin the book with an excerpt from Eco: "Eternal Fascism: Fourteen Ways of Looking at a Blackshirt." I think there are enough generic qualities that the group within the religious right, known as Christian Reconstructionists or dominionists, warrants the word.
