Three Way Fight

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?

Three

way fight politics confront these urgent questions squarely, arguing

that the far right grows out of an oppressive capitalist order but is

also in conflict with it in real ways, and that radicals need to combat

both. The three way fight approach says we need sharper analysis of

far-right movements so we can fight them more effectively, and we also

need to track ongoing developments within the ruling class, including

liberal or centrist efforts to co-opt antifascism as a tool of state

repression and system legitimation.

This book 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, spanning from the antifascist struggles of the 1980s and

1990s to the political upheavals of the twenty-first century. Over

fifteen authors explore a range of topics, such as fascist politics'

relationship with patriarchy and settler colonialism, Tom Metzger's

"Third Position" (anticapitalist) fascism, conflict within the business

community over the 2016 presidential election, and the Trump

administration's shifting relationship with the organized far right.

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.
