Readings on Fascism and National Socialism: Selected by Members of the Department of Philosophy, University of Colorado

This is what intellectual resistance looks like. Compiled by philosophy professors at the University of Colorado who understood that you cannot defeat an idea you do not understand, this reader gathers the original texts of fascism and National Socialism so that students might engage with them directly and rigorously. Mussolini's "The Doctrine of Fascism" is here, alongside writings by Gentile and others, not as propaganda but as specimens for examination. The prefatory note makes clear: these readings exist so that students can evaluate, compare, and ultimately reject these philosophies through informed analysis rather than ignorance. This is not a celebration of toxic ideology. It is a curated archive for those who recognize that understanding the architecture of totalitarianism is essential to preventing its return. For students of political philosophy, history, and anyone seeking to comprehend how movements built on domination and sacrifice actually articulated their worldview.
