Making my way through * Selections From the Prison Notebooks of Gramsci. I’m definitely getting a lot out of , just finished the section on Italian History which was a slog, but I’m glad I read it.

Anyone else read them?

You’re spot on, they unpack the “transactional” nature of the term, among other things, definitely check out the episode.

A lot of the posters in here should really check out Clara Zetkin’s “The Struggle Against Fascism”

Facism is a very specific phenomenon, where the decline of the bourgeois state and its institutions, and defeat/failure of working class movments, pushes the middle layers of society petit bourgeois especially out of their privlieged positions, where they turn to fascist movements.

Yes obviously soc dem parties and states uphold imperalism and unequal development, and inherently cannot resolve capitalism’s contradictions. Historically the failure of reformist of soc dem movements (Italy and Germany) lead to the rise of fascist movements, as people who wrongly equate them with socialism and communism see their failure and are demoralised with their promise of socialism which are unfulfilled . Statements like soc dems = fascism aren’t really helpful. Being precise in our study and definining of fascism is essential if we want to combat and fight it properly.
