From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The collective is named after Clara Zetkin, a German Marxist theorist who studied the Italian fascist movement in 1923.[10] Its work draws on the definition of fascism created by Zetkin.[11]
The collective authored the book White Skin, Black Fuel: On the Danger of Fossil Fascism, which was published by Verso Press. In 2020, the French-language edition Fascisme fossile: L'extrême droite, l'énergie, le climat was published by La Fabrique[12][13] and named a book of the day by Philosophie Magazine.[14]
