Description: 

Facism And Wealth / Michael Parenti. - Speech by political scientist and critic, Michael Parenti, in which he discusses the historical realties of historical Facism in Europe. He discusses the rise of Mussolini in Italy before World War I, and how the programs he championed attracted the economic elite. The political, economic, and social philosophies of Facism, Parenti argues, run counter to the principles of social equality. The rise of Facism in Italy and Germany signaled a decline in the living conditions of the lower and middle classes, but helped the economic elite become more entrenched. In the final analysis, the basic principles of Facism support racism, gender inequality, and classism. - RECORDED: Bay area, 1995.
