Summary:
This work traces the changes in classical Marxism (the Marxism of
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels) that took place after the death of
its founders. It outlines the variants that appeared around the turn
of the twentieth century - one of which was to be of influence among
the followers of Adolf Hitler, another of which was to shape the
ideology of Benito Mussolini, and still another of which provided the
doctrinal rationale for V.I. Lenin's Bolshevism and Joseph Stalin's
communism. This account differs from many others by rejecting a
traditional left/right distinction - a distinction that makes it
difficult to understand how totalitarian political institutions could
arise out of presumably diametrically opposed political ideologies.
"Marxism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism" thus helps to explain the
common features of 'left-wing' and 'right-wing' regimes in the
twentieth century.
