Welcome to Litsy!

Anarchy is just another way to stand up to the bullies.

The author admits in the first chapter that fascism is difficult to define and that different characteristics will be emphasised depending on what definition one chooses. The characteristics he chooses to highlight have some uncomfortable resonances this year (2025) considering this book dates from 2014. ⬇

I‘ve started this audiobook tonight, my third book for #Rwanda #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

Reread time. Society is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions—economic, social, and environmental. Individuals should begin organizing outside the state. This a blueprint for revolutionary action. Yesterday protest went well. We need to keep at it. We need to do more.

I've been meaning to read this since 2017, but kept putting it off. I had to wait awhile for my library hold to come in. So many people are reading this right now. 🤔

This is a succinct list of 20 lessons we (should) have learned from the last century on how to turn away from fascism and tyranny. I feel a need to keep running this info through my brain, so I have also placed holds on the audio and the graphic novel versions of this book.

This book was even better the second time around. It‘s a wonderful, funny, entertaining reminder to fight the good fight. I can only imagine what he‘d be saying now if he were still with us in 2025. This book would never be read or taken seriously by a conservative audience, but it absolutely should be. If nothing else, this is a prime example of why conservatives are so afraid of history and historians.

I enjoyed this one so much last time, I just need to read it again.

This book is short in stature and length. And now is a good time to read it. I finished it on a 3 hour flight with plenty of time to delve back into my other book.
