What I’m Reading: The Anatomy of Fascism – 25 in a series – “There were neither words nor concepts for it before Mussolini’s movement…”

“We have already noted that fascism was unexpected. It is not the linear projection of any one nineteenth-century political tendency. It is not easily comprehensible in terms of any of the major nineteenth-century paradigms: liberalism, conservatism, socialism. There were neither words nor concepts for it before Mussolini’s movement and others like it were created in the aftermath of World War I.”

From The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O. Paxton
