What I’m Reading: The Anatomy of Fascism – 41 in a series – “Failed fascist movements may tell us as much about what was needed for taking root as successful ones.”

Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“Not even the victor nations were immune to the fascist virus after World War I. Outside Italy and Germany, however, although fascists could be noisy or troublesome, they did not get close to power. That does not mean we should ignore these other cases. Failed fascist movements may tell us as much about what was needed for taking root as successful ones.”
