By Bryan Dyne

Fascism and big business, Daniel Guerin
15 January 2010A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ILLUSION consists in regarding fascism, despite the horror it inspires, as a progressive political phenomenon – as a passing and even necessary, though painful, stage.

28 August 2014, by Robert ParisGaza truce sets stage for deepening of crisis in Israel
By Barry Grey - WSWS
The announcement of an indefinite ceasefire between Israel and Hamas sets the stage for an intensification of the political crisis of the Israeli Zionist regime, but no longstanding peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

An address delivered at
Wells’ Memorial Hall, Boston, Mass.,
January 26, 1896
Mr. Chairman and Workingmen of Boston:

Ignace Reiss assassinated by Stalin
5 December 2021, by Robert ParisLeon Trotsky
A Tragic Lesson
(September 1937)
In the death of Ignace Reiss there is an element of great tragedy.

Reiss’s conduct could have been dictated only by high ideological considerations, and thereby alone he has earned (...) -
