colonialism and fascism shared a root cause: capitalism. As Padmore wrote in Africa and World Peace:
“Democratic” Imperialism and “Fascist” Imperialism are merely interchanging ideologies corresponding to the economic and political conditions of capitalism within a given country on the one hand, and the degree to which the class struggle has developed on the other.
While Communists proclaimed the need for a Popular Front “against fascism and war,” Padmore argued that the fight against fascism and war could only be won through a more direct struggle against capitalism and colonialism — a struggle that the Popular Front strategy had subordinated.
