Fascism was defeated by the world proletariat brigade - a class. This class was under the leadership of Stalin and that is a historically recorded fact. The subsequent defeat and collapse of fascism throughout the world was connected to the turning point in World World II or as it is called by Marxist, the Second Imperialist World War and the battle for Stalingrad.

Thanked in the acknowledgements is Dorothy Healey, in the CPUSA till early '73 (see her great autobio. from Oxford Univ. Press), so anti-Communist seems a stretch to attach to Ceplair.

To what extent was fascism a product of the inter-war period? Is it possible to speak of a Marxist theory of fascism? Outline the distinctive features of different Marxists’ approaches to fascism. What are the main features of theories of totalitarianism? How useful are such theories? Why did they emerge during the 1950s?
