Beyond listing the major dangers of fascism – nationalist propaganda, discrimination, forced recruitment, war, inflation, shortages, deprivation, repression, torture, death, material damage and losses, revanchism and crime –, comrade Georges, one of the last chairmen of the PCF (the French Communist Party) before the Communist world revolutionaries dissolved all parties along with the bourgeois state, wants to let the Communists of Saint-Denis and Illyria and their children – the young revolutionaries – experience first-hand what fascist war and persecution really entails. Our comrades time-travel to Nazi Germany, occupied France, the Japanese invasion of China, the Spanish Civil War, the Eastern front in World War II, and post-World War II Europe. The case studies also reveal how the shadows and recidivisms of fascism may surface not only under bourgeois capitalism but even after the world revolution.
