What I’m Reading: The Anatomy of Fascism – 28 in a series – “…harbingers of a new kind of politics to come.”

Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“Today we can perceive these experiments as harbingers of a new kind of politics to come. At the time, however, they seemed to be personal aberrations by individual adventurers. They were not yet perceptible as examples of a new system. They become visible this way only in restrospect, after all the pieces have come together, a space has opened up, and a name has been invented.”

From The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O. Paxton
