Fascism In Europe (pt. 2/2) ─ PSMLS Audio

Please enjoy the second part of our series where we host comrade Dr. Barry Lituchy from Brooklyn College for lectures on fascism in Europe. It is vitally important for us as Communists today to understand the significant role that fascism is playing in the current US/EU/NATO conflict with Russia.

This lecture was recorded on March 17th, 2022. Long live the anti-fascist struggle! Down with fascism in Ukraine!
