Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism

 
Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism

Description

Parenti explores the big issues of our time -- fascism, capitalism, communism, revolution, democracy, and ecology.

He shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege. He maps out the internal and external forces that destroyed communism, and the disastrous impact of the "free market" victory on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. He affirms the relevance of taboo ideologies like Marxism, demonstrating the importance of class analysis in understanding political realities and the ongoing collision between ecology and global corporatism.

A bold, entertaining, iconoclastic exploration of the epic struggles of yesterday and today.
