Fascism is a multifaceted concept that a multitude of thinkers focus on in their discussions. Fascism remains the source of evil in both popular and political culture. It evokes shivers of fear, political, social, and emotional turmoil.
Robert O. Paxton approaches the concept of fascism through a collection of writings from politics, history, philosophy, sociology, and psychology. He emphasizes the key elements that led to the genesis and rise of fascism:
- Fascism cannot be understood solely through its ideology. It must also be examined in practice.
- The practice of fascism requires the collaboration and support of the most powerful and conservative elements within every society.
- Because fascism is conservative, it necessitates something beyond violence, terror, and intimidation. It creates evil by cloaking itself in good and conventionality. Therefore, the evil of fascism is revealed only when it is too late.
"The Anatomy of Fascism" utilizes informational material from much of European and American history. It guides the reader, even if they are not familiar with modern European history, to understand a peculiar and multifaceted construct that wishes to be referred to as a political system.
