By Walter Laqueur

Mussolini's march on Rome; Hitler's speeches earlier than waves of goose-stepping hurricane soldiers; the horrors of the Holocaust; burning crosses and neo-Nazi skinhead hooligans. Few phrases are as evocative, or even fewer ideologies as pernicious, as fascism. And but, the realm maintains to witness the good fortune of political events in nations akin to Italy, France, Austria, Russia, and somewhere else similar to in a number of methods old fascism. Why, regardless of its prior, are humans nonetheless drawn to fascism? Will it ever back be an important political strength on the earth? the place on the earth is it probably to erupt next?
