Gonna say, Stanley doesn’t impress me with his work. I read ‘How Fascism Works’ and it’s pretty typical liberal fash apologia; focussing solely on the cultural flashpoints the fascists like to use to gain power and barely if ever addresses the material interests bound up in fascist states and how the rich business class props them up. After having read it I found Blackshirts and Reds to be all but a direct counter argument to basically everything he says and properly addresses the most important question about fascist states: for whom does the state benefit? Parenti never shies away from explaining that they only gain power because they have rich sponsors who want for state power and how it contrasts so much with Socialism which puts the proletariat first and foremost. Indeed, Stanley never properly goes into any of the class dynamics at play when it comes to the levers of power.

UofT, the same university throwing the cops at anti-genocide protesters and fighting the grad students union tooth and nail for the past 2 years? ok sure.

Fuckin libs. Studies fascism, still doesn’t understand it. Does his job depend on not making the Capital-Fascism connection?
