The collective is named after Clara Zetkin, a German Marxist theorist who studied the Italian fascist movement in 1923.[9] Its work draws on the definition of fascism created by Zetkin.[10]
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[11][12] and named a book of the day by Philosophie Magazine.[13]
