Description

Marxism had always contained within it a multiplicity of variations and is possessed, in equal parts, of the potential to be used for illumination and obfuscation. Nothing more clearly illustrates this than the early responses of Marxists to fascism.In our third installment of our series on the history of fascism, we dive into some more Marxist theories of fascism; specifically the German and Austrian Social Democratic Theories, Trotsky and Thalheimer, and then wrap up with a bit of Horkheimer. Our primary source of info for this episode is this wonderful book:https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1233-marxists-in-the-face-of-fascismThe Lost Horizons Networkhttps://losthorizonsnetwork.com/The Lost Horizons Network Podcast:https://share.transistor.fm/s/c3bf81ddRed Library Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/redlibrary/postsFrom78 Podcasthttps://www.patreon.com/from78Support the show

The old forms of the left are moribund and the new forms are stupid. We're making a podcast that discusses the need to organize a dialectical pessimism and develop a Marxist salvage project capable of putting up a good fight as the world burns around us. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.
