Blackshirts and Reds
Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism
by Michael Parenti
165 pages· ISBN 9780872863293
About
Parenti 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 also maps out the external and internal forces that destroyed communism, and the disastrous impact of the "free-market" victory on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
