...nighttime. Perhaps I’d slip into the cafeteria first. On my left would be a poster of a young man name Carlos, admonishing its readers to “Continue the Fight.” The poster presumably depicts Carlos Javier Palomino, a young anti-fascist stabbed to death by a member of the extreme right on his way to a protest in a subway station the year prior. Continuing to scan the walls, I’d catch some of the building’s finer graffiti: cartoon people riding along on conveyor belts on their...
...Mumbai in the possession of a 19th century British antiquarian grandee, the imperially named Mountstuart Elphinstone, and has stayed in the city ever since despite numerous attempts by the Italian government to repatriate it. In the 1930s, rumor has it, dictator Benito Mussolini was keen to buff his fascist pedigree by retrieving the epic and offered the Society one million pounds for it, a staggering sum at the time.

In its better days, says Levy, the left stood against evil and injustice and all the worst aspects of fascist and totalitarian systems. Now, amid a surge in anti-American, anti-Semitic and antiliberal sentiments, the left appears "sometimes more right-wing than the right wing itself." It's quite a damning statement, but one that is undercut by Levy's reliance on insular and obscure historical examples that clearly...
