Fascism begins with " liberal " betrayal of the working class


  Democratic socialists have long explained that fascism is a ruling class reaction to a profound crisis of capitalism.

    Always it begins with " liberal " betrayals of the working class. The driving force of fascist movements has been the ruined middle class and unemployed " intellectuals " and artists.

 In his book " Anatomy of Human Destructiveness" socialist Erich Fromm analyzed German fascism and the " petty bourgeois " character of Adolph Hitler.

Most German workers were drawn to socialist and communist parties. They felt betrayed even by
their own " class " parties.



" Not every petty bourgeois could be Hitler "  ( Trotsky )
