Fascism: What It Is and How to Fight It by Leon Trotsky. 49 page booklet New pamphlet of Trotsky’s selected writings, including an Introduction “What is Fascism?” by David North, and an extensive timeline. Following the 1929 Wall Street crash, Trotsky fights to orient and unite the working class against the rise of fascism in Germany. He examines the political and social origins of fascism and elaborates the strategical and tactical methods to defend the working class against this deadly menace, including the “United Front” and the arming of the working class for self defense. Throughout, he stresses that a revolutionary orientation by the working class is the only basis for winning vacillating elements of the middle class to the side of socialism.
