The Fascist Offensive and the Tasks of the Communist International

Georgi Dimitrov was a Communist, Prime Minister of Bulgaria, head of the Communist International from 1935 to 1943 and close friend and comrade of Joseph Stalin.

Dimitrov’s analysis lays bare Fascism as the natural progression of imperialism in periods of crisis of capital. In this important work, Dimitrov discusses the class character of vicious assault on working class people and the revolutionary movement. Being a leader during the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, he studied in great detail the development of Fascism as the most reactionary, most chauvinistic and most imperialist elements of finance capital. As we once again resist the rising tide of Fascism, Dimitrov’s analysis is as important today as it was in 1935.
