What I’m Reading: The Anatomy of Fascism – 32 in a series – “…one that denied only foreign or enemy property rights…”

Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“Between the two world wars, almost every nation on earth, and certainly all those with mass politics, generated some intellectual current or activist movement akin to fascism.

It turned out in practice that fascists’ anticapitalism was highly selective.5 Even at their most radical, the socialism that the fascists wanted was a “national socialism”: one that denied only foreign or enemy property rights (including that of internal enemies).”

From The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O. Paxton
