Marx gegen Hitler

The publication analyses the ways in which socialism has failed in its fight against fascism. The author blames the rise of fascism on the inability of social democrats to transform the bourgeois state in a revolutionary-democratic form, therefore strengthening the fascistic tendencies in the population. The analysis of B. Irlen is the attempt to view fascism not from a liberal, but a socialist world view. He argues that in order to defeat fascism, one has to overcome its ideology first. With liberalism this cannot be achieved. The origins of fascism as a movement of the people are also analyzed. Irlen views fascism as an enemy within the working class, which is not afraid of the street to achieve its goal of a totalitarian state.
