Fascism and the Masses - The Revolt Against the Last Humans, 1848-1945

Zusatztext "I don't believe I exaggerate when I say this is the most significant work on the subject since Lukács' The Destruction of Reason or Trotsky's great! prophetic writings of the 1930s. (...) Landa's account contains a strong! uplifting and profound humanity as he reminds us that 'the last humans' also represent our last best hope."- Tony McKenna! Marx& Philosophy Review of Books"Fascism and the Masses is an immensely rich and rewarding text! drawing from an unbelievably wide array of material." - Guy Lancaster! Capital & Class Informationen zum Autor Ishay Landa is Senior Lecturer of History at the Israeli Open University. Zusammenfassung Departing from the conventional image of fascism as mass-driven, this book analyzes the effort of interwar European fascism to defeat the masses. Fascism endeavored to terminate the secular advance of egalitarian and democratic trends, resisting what Nietzsche described as the reign of the peaceful and mediocre "Last Humans."
