Are any of these available online or in the Libcom library? I have a copy of Rühle's "The struggle against Fascism begins with the struggle against Bolshevism" that I could scan and upload if its not on here anywhere.

On a similar note, does anybody know if the Johannes Agnoli text "Fascism without revision" exists in English?
banaji´s introduction into
banaji´s introduction into rosenberg´s book seems to be useful because it stresses that fascist movement in germany had wider social base then just petty bourgeoisie.
i don´t know if rosenberg´s work itself is somewhere on internet.
also, behemoth by neumann (it was translated into english by dauve if i remember well) is good.

Is there any mileage in trying to come up with some kind of categorisation scheme to try and group the various texts?
For e.g. that Thalheimer piece is in the Bonapartist/Petty bourgeois family of theories of fascist origins (like Trotsky, for e.g. and no doubt a number of the others in the above), of the kind that Rosenberg was writing against.
Perhaps - Economistic, Culturalist, etc? Ideas?

Yo, so I've not read a lot of these (though a few I have) and I'm not really sure how best to do it but I would say perhaps something along the lines of the other libcom reading guides (obviously not exactly coz lots of those are historical).. so, for instance, maybe:
Key Texts - a few key general ones, intros, explanations of fascism in simple terms etc
Then some different topics i.e. fascism and class struggle; fascism and women; psychology of fascism; resistance to fascism etc etc..
Would need people to write little intros to those that they know to help people have an idea of what these texts are.. any help would be well appreciated.
