I'm looking for native fiction authors who openly supported the socialists in the Cuban revolution, nazism in Germany, fascism in Italy and/or the Chinese communists (probably only happened after Mao). Something like Gorky with the bolsheviks and Heidegger with the nazi party. From what I saw from Gorky, he describes the symptoms without naming the disease or prescribing a medicine. I'm interested to see if the stories of other writers present something like this or preach their ideologies.
>inb4 Céline and the nazis, Borges with Pinochet, etc. Remember: Natives only.
those are very contradictory takes so the author would be pretty all over the place
Evan Diaz
Maybe I wasn't mature enough to see it on Gorky's works. It was a long time ago.
Austin Ramirez
Sartre with Stalin
Jonathan Smith
French writer, not native.
Christian Long
>nazism in Germany Gottfried Benn Hanns Johst Max Barthel Rudolf G. Binding Agnes Miegel Walter von Molo Ilse Reicke Anton Schnack Ina Seidel Will Vesper Friedrich Griese Jakob Schaffner
here's one you didn't list >Vichy France Louis Ferdinand-Celine Pierre Drieu La Rochelle Lucien Rebatet Robert Brasillach Charles Maurras Paul Morand Alphonse de Châteaubriant Jacques Chardonne
Wish I knew more about the Latin and socialist regimes, collaborationist authors are a topic of interest for me
Lucas Adams
Fernández Retamar in Cuba
Levi Morgan
Also Nicolás Guillén
Tyler Edwards
Spain and franquismo: Manuel Machado Eugenio d'Ors Victor de la Serna Emilio Romero Azorín Ramón Pérez de Ayala Camilo José Cela (did it as a "strategy", i.e. worked for the regime as a censor but has been forgiven by historiography).
Thomas Turner
>Camilo José Cela (did it as a "strategy", i.e. worked for the regime as a censor but has been forgiven by historiography). And he was censored anyway.
Anthony Bailey
Thank you very much. Anyone from communist China and fascist Italy?
Hunter Bell
In a tangent but related topic, watch 'Le tombeau d'Alexandre', directed by Marker. It's about the soviet cinema apparatus (centered on Medvedkin's work), the power of images (pictures that were staged but are commonly used in History books), etc.

Marinetti is a key figure in fascist Italy. Read all of his manifestos. People tend to read only the first futurist manifesto (1909), and forget the others. D'Annunzio served as inspiration for Mussolini. I know nothing about China, sorry.
He had to go to Argentina to publish La colmena. The funny thing is how a Perón supporter was censored and then Perón censored another writer in the same year. Fuck censorship.
Jackson Perry
Perón and Borges had an interesting relationship. Borges' early ties with the Yrigoyenismo made him an easy target.
Lucas Morgan
The whole thing is funny and sad. They hide the books Borges donated to the library for years.

Hudson Gutierrez
Upcoming Argentinian election. Every candidate is peronista. Fuck the world.
