How and Why Fascism and Nazism Became the "Right"
by Allen Gindler

The Left has been represented by various currents that have historically been very aggressive toward each other because they used different tactics and strategies to achieve socialism. Like many intellectuals, revolutionary leftists did not get along with each other very often. Since the inception of Marxism, which is the doctrine of communism—an extreme and distinctive flavor of socialism—the far Left has portrayed adherents of less revolutionary ideologies as enemies of the working people. The followers of evolutionary socialism—the Social Democrats—were accused by the communists of betraying the proletariat. Non-Marxist currents of socialism, such as Fascism and National Socialism, were excluded from the socialist camp and put on the right wing by Marxist-Leninist propaganda. This article shows the origin and historical background of the artificial shift of Fascism and National Socialism to the right side of the political spectrum.

The Italian Corporative State
by Fausto Pitigliani

If dubious Communists, along with sensation-mongers, could be induced to see "things" as they are instead of through red lenses, no doubt many foolish statements and half-truths would be spared us -- such as Mr. John Strachey's astonishing assertion, in his biased review of the English edition of Signor Pitigliani's book in The Nation (Oct. 18, 1933), that the "Italian Corporative State" exists only on "paper."

Hitler's Bitter Sweet Revenge

In 1918, Germany was forced to surrender and sign a humiliating armistice. It was signed in a now infamous train carriage owned by allied commander Ferdinand Foch.

22 years later, Germany forced France to surrender in the same carriage and location.

Hitler stood up and walked out mid-negotiations, just like Foch did to the Germans in 1918.

"Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to think, and this they consider freedom."

— Oswald Spengler

"If Germany stays united and marches to the rhythm of its revolutionary socialist outlook, it will be unbeatable. Our indestructible will to life, and the driving force of the Führer's personality guarantee this."

— Joseph Goebbels

"The trade unions that were swayed by Marxist teaching did not want social peace. They calculated that their chances of acquiring political power would improve with the growing dissatisfaction of the workers. One of the first necessities with which the Hitler Government found itself faced was that of dissolving the organizations that kept alive the antagonism between employers and employees. They were replaced by the Labour Front."
