Marxists on Fascism: Silencing the Nazi Threat - by Paul Foot (1994) AUDIOBOOK
With characteristic clarity and wry humour, legendary socialist journalist Paul Foot explains why socialists say fascists should be silenced.

Bonapartism and Fascism by Leon Trotsky, read - and with introductory remarks by - Jack Graham
An essay by Leon Trotsky from 1934 on the differences, similarities, and relations between 'Bonapartism' and fascism, with reference to events in France. I think this is a very important essay for our current moment. I present it here, in its entirety. I have - perhaps presumptuously - added my own

Marxists on Fascism: Clara Zetkin's The Struggle Against Fascism (Part 1 of 2)
An absolute classic, this one. Written by Zetkin (1857–1933) in 1923. Obviously dated but still astonishingly relevant when adapted to current dynamics. This is one of the most important texts in the synthesis of the best version of the Marxist analysis of fascism. This is Part 1 (my division) with

Marxists on Fascism 1: Terry Eagleton's What is Fascism?
The first in what I hope will become a regular series (two a month, hopefully) of readings (by myself and possibly others) of some of the most interesting writing on fascism from within the Marxist tradition. Eagleton's essay, read above, was written in 1976, and is a characteristically elegant caps
