Fighting Fascism

Clara Zetkin, an organizer of the First International Women's Day, presented this Report and Resolution on fascism at the June 1923 enlarged plenum of the Communist International's executive committee. At a time when fascism was a new and little-understood phenomenon, Zetkin's work proposed a sweeping plan for the unity of all victims of capitalism in an ideological and political campaign against the fascist danger.

Clara Zetkin (1857-1933) was a German Marxist theorist, activist, and advocate for women's rights. In 1911, she organized the first International Women's Day.
