Brief: Antifascist Woodshed

Conspirituality

Education / Public service alert:

Matthew critically reviews six books that define fascist eras and recount how they have been opposed. A kind of “here we are, now what?” episode that hopefully interrupts the doomscroll with the sobriety of some practical considerations.

  • Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny (2017)
  • Robert Paxton, Anatomy of Fascism (2004)
  • Paul Mason, How to Fight Fascism (2018)
  • Mark Bray, Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook (2017)
  • Curzio Malaparte: Technique de Coup d’Etat (1931)
  • Spencer Sunshine: 40 Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics for Community Activists (2021)


Formats range from popular nonfiction to academic history to pragmatic field guide. Politics range from liberal to anarchist. More feminist and non-white sources to be reviewed soon.
