Against Fascism, Against The State: a virtual event with the co-editors of Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism
Monday, Aug 5th, 7:00pm – 8:30pm ET What’s the relationship between combating the far right and working for systemic change? What does it mean when fascists intensify racial oppression and patriarchy but also call for the downfall of economic elites or even take up arms against the state? Editors Xtn Alexander and Matthew Lyons share their new edited volume on the “three way fight” approach to antifascism and offer reflections on the dangers we now face from the ruling class and the far right.
Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism offers an introduction to three way fight politics, with more than thirty essays, position statements, and interviews from the Three Way Fight website and elsewhere, from the antifascist struggles of the 1980s and 1990s to the political upheavals of the twenty-first century. Many of the writings address issues of political strategy, such as tensions between radicals and liberals within the reproductive rights movement and the George Floyd rebellion, video gaming as an arena of political struggle, and the importance (and challenges) of approaching antifascist organizing in ways that are militant, community based, and nonsectarian.
