| Résumé: | Though there has been a great deal of discussion of Communism and Fascism, much less attention has been devoted to their mutual relations. Early relations of the two movements and the possible influence of Communism on Fascism are discussed, together with their early polemics against, and interpretations of, each other. After an examination of the relations between Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union, the differences between Communism's ‘first’ and ‘second’ anti‐Fascisms are analysed. The Nazi‐Soviet Pact of 1939 produced major temporary changes, but the Nazi‐Soviet war of 1941-45 proved decisive for both movements. Maintenance of the anti‐Fascist banner remained a major feature of Soviet policy and propaganda throughout the post‐World War II era, but the eventual Sino‐Soviet split produced recurrent mutual charges of ‘Fascism’ by each of the two major Communist powers against each other. The article concludes with discussion of the dialectic between Fascism and Communism and of the extent of their common characteristics. |
