Nieder mit dem Fascismus!

The pamphlet contains a speech held for the worker’s movement of the SPS party in Bern on February 25th, 1934, titled “Down with Fascism”. It addresses the dangers of fascism and how its rise in Switzerland can be prevented. The speaker warns of German attempts to influence public opinion at home through sophisticated propaganda, especially in the German speaking parts of Switzerland. A psychological problem is addressed: “People realize that the “temporary” crisis is a systematic crisis, and a return to the old way of doing things is gone. A loss of faith is perceived. Something new has to come, regardless of what it is, things have to change.” A plan of action is included.
