The Syndicalist Tradition and Italian Fascism

Focuses on the syndicalist intellectual tradition, which began as a revisionist form of Marxism, then evolved into a kind of nationalist corporatism - the most important theoretical component in Italian fascism. Roberts shows how fascism could be at once popular and elitist, modern and traditional, procapitalist and anticapitalist, nationalist and anti-Italian, totalitarian and anticollectivist.
