I'm just waiting for the first guy to post the cover of Mein Kampf. I'm pretty sure that joke hasn't been made before on Veeky Forums.
Cooper Hall
Manifesto del Futurismo
James Ortiz
Not a book, but I really enjoyed this old article from Umberto Eco in the New York Review of Books

Part of the problem with fascism is that it doesn't do much to encourage good writers. This means there's quite a dearth of quality fascist literature.
Hudson Allen
does Mishima count as a fascist?
Grayson Price
He's japanese, these guys don't have much in common with european fascists, except the side in the last world war.
Eli Myers
actually they do a lot, surprisingly
Jonathan Jones
there aren't many good books that explicitly discuss any political system really
you want to look at the foundations of that ideology imo
Nathaniel James
They are much more fucked in the head, that's what I meant, so not a good example. Western fascists are sort of tame.
Easton Perez
Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism maybe
Ayden Thompson
No
Cooper Stewart
Oswald Mosley's books are good, he wasn't an edgelord
Gabriel Richardson
Fascism, by Stanley G. Payne.
Daniel Powell

>Western fascists are sort of tame
Wut? How are Japanese fascists anymore extreme than Western fascists?
Nolan Hughes
His critique of fascism and of nazi Germany is very good, if you haven't already read it.
No. Neither does (the mature) Evola for that matter.
James Roberts
I enjoyed this
Owen Baker
Nope. If there is no fascist party there is no fascism.
Most people forget that and tend to consider anything authoritarian fascist.
Ian Campbell
Japanese fascism never existed. It was a run of the mill military junta.
Liam Thomas
It's best compared to pre-WWI Imperial Germany rather than fascism.

I'll second Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism and Payne's monograph on Fascism. I should also recommend anything by Robert Paxton, especially if you are interested in Vichy France.

This sounds like a fucking anime
Daniel Murphy
Looks good, thanks. Apparently Payne thought at my school, which is pretty neat.
Evan Mitchell
His history of the Spanish Civil War is good. Center-right perspective
Landon Fisher
Because of the nature of the topic, it's extremely difficult to find any literature discussing fascism directly that isn't decidedly pro-fascist on one end and completely anti-fascist on the other. Also most of the ones being published right now read more as Alex Jones-tier conspiracy theories than any actual in depth look at fascist ideology.
You're better off reading works that had a direct influence on fascism. Interestingly enough, Hegel is a big influence despite today being seen as more of a Marxist influence thanks to the Young Hegelians.
