As Marxist Clara Zetkin, who wrote during the interwar period and witnessed the rise of fascism in Europe firsthand, explains, "Masses in their thousands streamed to fascism. It became an asylum for all the politically homeless, the socially uprooted and the destitute, and the disillusioned. And what they no longer hoped for from the revolutionary proletarian class and from socialism, they now hoped would be achieved by the most able strong determined and bold elements of every social class. All these forces must come together in a community, and this community for the fascists is the nation." In short fascism preys upon the disillusionment and uncertainty of working class people, #FascismExplained #ClaraZetkin #PoliticalHistory #HistoricalAnalysis #EuropeanHistory #WorldWarII #RiseOfFascism #SocialCommentary #PoliticalDisillusionment #HistoryLessons
