What I’m Reading: The Anatomy of Fascism – 31 in a series – “The intellectual fellow travelers had diminishing influence…”

Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“Looking mainly at early fascism starts us down several false trails. It puts intellectuals at the center of an enterprise whose major decisions were made by power-seeking men of action. The intellectual fellow travelers had diminishing influence in the rooting and regime stages of the fascist cycle, although certain ideas reasserted themselves in the radicalization stage.”

From The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O. Paxton
