A torrent of nationalism, racism, misogyny, and irrationalism is sweeping the world. The authoritarian right and new forms of fascism have become a clear and present danger. Neoliberal capitalism has torn society apart. Alienation has reached an unprecedented level. Extreme narcissistic individualism has become a pandemic. In this little book, Neil Faulkner draws on Marxist-Freudian theory to provide an updated analysis of the mass psychology of fascism, and to argue for a progressive counter-offensive based on love, labour, and reason.

It is the greatest crisis in human history. We are hurtling towards an abyss. The system is terminally diseased. Pandemic, climate crisis, endless war, mega-slums, police repression, creeping fascism, economic stagnation: these shape our world. On one side, grotesque greed and rampaging corporate power. On the other, poverty, oppression, and despair. Capitalism came into the world, Marx wrote, 'dripping from head to toe, from every pore, with blood and dirt'. Now, the ageing system is putrescent and gangrenous. But the last decade has seen explosions of revolt from below, firecracking across the globe, toppling dictators, resisting austerity, protesting racism, defending abortion rights, fighting for democracy. Here is the embryo of an alternative future. Revolution - ending the rule of capital and the state - has become an existential necessity. This book is a call to arms.

A panoramic, provocative account of the clash between British imperialism and Arab jihadism in Africa between 1870 and 1920

With 180 outstanding colour photographs, Abandoned Places of World War I is a brilliant pictorial examination of the physical legacy of the 'Great War' as it was known.

The fast-accelerating world crisis is driving us towards barbarism and extinction. The capitalist system means ecological and social collapse. Mainstream politics, embedded in the system, has been reduced to irrelevance. Revolution has become an existential imperative. This book offers critical Marxist thinking about the nature of the crisis and what must be done to turn mass protest into the revolutionary transformation on which our survival depends.

This book is about one simple that the wave of racism and reaction sweeping the world is the modern form of fascism. New and updated version. The 'Brexit' referendum in 2016, when just over half the British electorate voted to leave the European Union, was followed a year later by Donald Trump's election as US president, confirming a qualitative shift in global politics, a sudden lurch to the right, away from liberal democracy towards a police state enforcing nationalism, racism, and sexism. Nothing has happened in the two years since Brexit and Trump's election to doubt that world politics is increasingly poisoned by 'creeping fascism'. The ascendancy of politicians like Trump in the US, Marine Le Pen in France, Matteo Salvini in Italy, Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, and many more in other countries, cannot be explained as a passing phase of 'populism', and to do so minimises the acute dangers we face from the global rise of the far-right. How can we stop this 'second wave' of fascism returning us to the darkest times? How do we prevent the history of the 1930s repeating itself in the early 21st century? How do we break fascism, before it breaks us, and open the road to an alternative future and a world transformed?
