Hello comrades and friends! I’ve gotten back into reading and I’ve been buying books about fascism, because of the political climate. I’ve picked up a few books, like

It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Cradles of the Reich by Jen Coburn The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

I know they aren’t strictly anarchist, but they do talk about fascism/authoritarianism. Could you recommend me some books about anarchism as well as more books on fascism? I prefer fiction, but will read non-fiction as well.

    Hmm. Maybe

    • „The myth of a strong leader“ by Archie Brown

    I really like this one. It reads pretty modern and might give some insight how the situation in the US might evolve:

    • „Berlin Diary“ by William L. Shirer

    That one is a classic:

    • „How to spot a fascist“ by Umberto Eco.

    Stefan Zweig talks about the rise of the nazis and the beginning of Second World War in his memoirs for a bit:

    • „The world of yesterday“ by Stefan Zweig.
