What is fascism? Find out tomorrow during Class 3 (1pm-3pm) of Dr. Timothy Snyder's class on Fascism Throughout History! Free and open to all; no registration required.

Class 3: What is Fascism? For about twenty years, fascism seemed like the future for millions of people. It was a way of appealing to the past that was mystical and inspiring; it was a way of seizing the future by taking technology and pushing it towards dreams of rapid military conquest. Fascism reacted to and in some ways admired Bolshevism: it borrowed the idea of the one-party state and of a revolution based not so much on interests and history as on will and conjuncture. Fascism was a way of seeing the world that denied reason--preferring conspiratorial thinking and the arbitrary choice of enemies.
