Professor Brady has written an admirable book. Its value consists, above all, in its careful and detailed analysis of Fascist institutions in Germany, the most complete, to my knowledge, that exists in the English language. It is a survey of the mechanisms through which the purpose of Herr Hitler's dictatorship is fulfilled. What emerges from this study? Above all, I suggest, the conclusion that Fascism is nothing but monopoly-capitalism imposing its will on those masses whom it has deliberately transformed into its slaves. It is fundamental to its understanding that all the organs of working-class defence are it is fundamental to its understanding, also, that society has been merged into a state the outstanding characteristic of which is the imposition of its will by coercion. There is no social the ownership of the instruments of production remain in private hands. There has been a political revolution in the sense that those organs through which, prior to 1933, criticism of the social order might be expressed, have been ruthlessly destroyed. What replaces them is essentially a partnership between monopoly-capitalism and the Nazi Party in which that supreme coercive power which is of the State's essence is used to compel obedience to the new system.
