Poulantzas’s book is the first major Marxist study of German and Italian fascism to appear since the Second World War. It carefully distinguishes between fascism as a mass movement before the seizure of power and fascism as an entrenched machinery of dictatorship. It compares the distinct class components of the counter-revolutionary blocs mobilzed by fascism in Germany and Italy; analyses the changing relations between the petty bourgeoisie and big capital in the evolution of fascism; discusses the structures of the fascist state itself, as an emergency regime for the defense of capital; and provides a sustained and documented criticism of official Comintern attitudes and policies towards fascism in the fateful years after the Versailles settlement. Fascism and Dictatorship represents a challenging synthesis of factual evidence and conceptual analysis that has been rare in Marxist political theory to date.

Fascism as a mass movement
Fascism and Dictatorship: The Third International and the Problem of Fascism is a fascinating study of both the German and Italian strains of fascism in the interwar period and the errors made by the Comintern as it tried - and failed - to halt its rise. Nicos Poulantzas argues that fascism represents an "exceptional state" within capitalist society and seeks to assess the relationship between it and the working class, all the while charting the way in which it rose to power in two different but nonetheless connected ways.
Particularly interesting are the chapters on fascism's relationship to the petty bourgeoisie and the countryside, as well as Poulantzas's stellar examination of the characteristics of the fascist state. He also offers important analysis on the failings of the Comintern, which, misguided in its attitudes and strategies, struggled to fully understand the nature of fascism and its relationship to the different sections of society.
Poulantzas's approach to the subject is both in-depth and illuminating, and it is no wonder that Fascism and Dictatorship: The Third International and the Problem of Fascism remains one of the classic Marxist texts in the field of fascist studies.
