Education / Public service alert:
Matthew critically reviews six books that define fascist eras and recount how they have been opposed. A kind of “here we are, now what?” episode that hopefully interrupts the doomscroll with the sobriety of some practical considerations.
- Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny (2017)
- Robert Paxton, Anatomy of Fascism (2004)
- Paul Mason, How to Fight Fascism (2018)
- Mark Bray, Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook (2017)
- Curzio Malaparte: Technique de Coup d’Etat (1931)
- Spencer Sunshine: 40 Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics for Community Activists (2021)
Formats range from popular nonfiction to academic history to pragmatic field guide. Politics range from liberal to anarchist. More feminist and non-white sources to be reviewed soon.
