"Beating Fascism" is a new compilation dealing with the anarchist critique of fascist ideas and the practical ways their deadly authoritarian project has been challenged. It goes from the 'People's commandos' who fought against Mussolini's bootboys, through the Spanish Civil War, to the anti-fascist activists of the eighties, nineties and beyond who took up the challenge from a new crop of boneheads.
Read it and you'll know we don't fight fascism out of loyalty to the current set-up: we want a world without bosses! This reader will give you an insight into the anarchist critique of fascist ideas – and our history of practical opposition to them.
"Know the sort of world you want. Know your enemy and remember this – we have to beat the fascists every time, they only have to beat us once. If they come into power, we are dead and buried. Literally."
– from the 'Anti-fascism now' interview.
52 pages. Contributions from around the world, including: Errico Malatesta, Rudolf Rocker, Buenaventura Durruti, "Fighting Talk" and Anti-Racist Action plus a new interview on "Anti-fascism now" and suggestions for further reading.
