  • “Long Live Anarchism” and Its Southern Discontent

It combines a critical analysis of its transnational and translocal political imaginaries with an examination of the linkages of its “trans” of gender, race, class and imperial relations to unsettle its responses to the historical, Italian based southern discontent. It argues that its focus on the social question and the predominance of northern-based responses to women’s equality and the racialisation of migrants effaces and negates the lives of diaspora from the southern regions. This negation also intersects with its support for the formation of a white working class and negation of Indigenous sovereign ontologies and epistemologies in the settler colony of Australia. This paper demonstrates that KEYWORDS:the effacement of the southern discontent is re-configured across varied and relational systems of radical diasporic knowledge. RESUMO: Anarchism, Southern Italy, Australia, Discontent, Diaspora.

  • The Silicon Ideology
    The Silicon Ideology Josephine Armistead May 18, 2016 Abstract Out of the technological cenes of the world has come a new, strange variant of fascism– namely, neo-reaion, or “NRx”. I shall here proⅵde a critique of this ideology and an aempt at understanding of its origins, its taics, and how it may be defeated. Content Warnings This article contains discussions of fascism, Nazism, white supremacy, and the Holocaust among other topics. Keywords 1 Introduction A king? You want a king? Boy, nobody wants a king! Ignatius, are you sure you’re OK? A Confederacy of Dunces John Kennedy Toole When one learns I am studying a new emergence of fascism in Europe and North America, one might be tempted to believe I am referring to the larger end of the rise of right-wing populist parties and candidacies that may be considered “fascist”, such as the candidacy of Donald Trump and the rise of the United Kingdom Independence Par (UKIP), Le Pen’s Front national (FN), Alternatⅳe für Deutschland (AfD), and Golden Dawn among others. However, in this essay, I discuss a more narrow group: specifically, an ideology that has emerged in the past decade or so inside the capitals of the tech world and which is growing at an alarming rate, often (but not always) allied with those parties and candidacies I have mentioned above: neo-reaionaries and what is known as the “alt- right”. Largely, this group has escaped serious criticism by radicals for its nature as a small, internet-based ideology–not enough people, it seems, take it seriously.

  • FASCISM and SOCIAL REVOLUTION a Study of the Economics and Politics of the Extreme Stages of Capitalism in Decay
    FASCISM AND SOCIAL REVOLUTION A Study of the economics and Politics of the Extreme Stages of Capitalism in Decay by R. PALME DUTT Proletarian Publishers Edition 1974 Second Printing 1976 Third Printing 1978 Proletarian Publishers P.O. Box 3566 Chicago IL 60654 “We say to the workers: ‘You will have to go through fifteen, twenty, fifty years of civil wars and international wars, not only in order to change existing conditions, but also in order to change yourselves and fit yourselves for the exercise of political power.”‘ MARX (On the Communist Trial at Cologne, 1851). “The bourgeoisie sees in Bolshevism only one side... insurrection, violence, terror; it endeavours, therefore, to prepare itself especially for resistance and opposition in that direction alone. It is possible that in single cases, in single countries, for more or less short periods, they will succeed. We must reckon with such a possibility, and there is absolutely nothing dreadful to us in the fact that the bourgeoisie might succeed in this. Communism ‘springs up’ from positively all sides of social life, its sprouts are everywhere, without exception-the ‘contagion’ (to use the favourite and ‘pleasantest’ comparison of the bourgeoisie and the bourgeois police) has very thoroughly penetrated into the organism and has totally impregnated it. If one of the ‘vents’ were to be stopped up with special care, ‘contagion’ would find another, sometimes most unexpected. Life will assert itself. Let the bourgeoisie rave, let it work itself into a frenzy, commit stupidities, take vengeance in advance on the Bolsheviks, and endeavour to exterminate in India, Hungary, Germany, etc., more hundreds, thousands, and hundreds of thousands of the Bolsheviks of yesterday or those of to-morrow.

  • Fascism for the British Audience the Communist Party of Great Britain’S Analysis of Fascism in Theory and Practice
    fascism 3 (2014) 93-116 brill.com/fasc Fascism for the British Audience The Communist Party of Great Britain’s Analysis of Fascism in Theory and Practice Lewis Young PhD Researcher (History), School of Arts and Media, Teesside University [email protected] Abstract A key player in the campaigns against fascism, the Communist Party of Great Britain (cpgb) has been subject of much attention by historians of anti-fascism. The Party’s approach to anti-fascism, through various campaigns such as the ‘united front from below’ and the Popular Front have been well documented, however its own analysis of fascism has been subjected to much less scrutiny. It has generally been accepted that the cpgb faithfully followed the interpretation of the Communist International. While this is true, this article will argue that the cpgb’s analysis of fascism was often adapted to suit the British political climate. By examining the cpgb’s approaches to ‘social fas- cism’, democracy and the British Union of Fascists (buf), this article will show that the cpgb’s analysis of fascism was much more fluid. Moreover it will suggest that the Party only adhered to the strictest of Comintern analyses at times of increased atten- tion from Moscow. Finally this article will show that the cpgb’s analysis of fascism as an antithesis to all things ‘British’ survived, and indeed was strengthened, by the end of the Second World War. By 1945 its analysis of fascism was much more generic, follow- ing an economic and ideological reading as per the Stalinist interpretation, but with a strong focus on patriotism, and the empirical evidence of the destructive and murder- ous qualities of fascism as shown by the Holocaust.

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. ...... ?o Department of The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date Abstract This study is a comparative analysis of corporatism as expressed by the National Socialist Party in Germany in its 1920 Program and of Italian corporatism as formulated by the Fascist government in the mid-1920's. The main question of the study is: Why did the National Socialist Party discard the corporatist proposals in its 1920 Program, while corporatism in Italy became an important facet of the Fascist state ideology? In the first chapter, the corporatist proposals of the NSDAP are examined, stressing the following problems: Why were corporatist proposals included in the 1920 Program? To what extent were they implemented? If they were not implemented, why not? In the second chapter, the same issues are examined, this time in the context of Italian corporatism.

The history of Fascist corporatism, however, is not only an unsuccessful story. Despite the failure of the “corporatist revolution” and “Fascist third way”, Fascist corporatism since the mid- Twenties helped the progressive development of a new political system to regulate relationship between State and private interests. The paper examines not only the institutional framework (the systems of formal laws, regulations, and procedures, and informal norms) but also their acts and real activities. It dwells upon internal debates, political and institutional importance acquired by corporative institutions in Fascist regime and behaviours of entrepreneurial organizations and labour unions.
