The Menace of Fascism

cablestreetFor our October 2013 organizational-wide reading we republish here The Menace of Fascism by Ted Grant. Written after World War II, it analyzes the rise to power of Mussolini’s black shirts and the Nazis in Germany. It draws on much of Trotsky’s analysis on fascism to prepare the British working class to deal with the potential threat of Mosley’s fascists.
