Episode 219 uploaded September 29: Sam Goldman discusses the cruel and nakedly fascist “mass deportation” plank of
both Project 2025 and the official GOP platform.
Then, she talks with
Dr. Alberto Toscano, author of Late Fascism: Race, Capitalism and the Politics of Crisis.
Robin D. G. Kelley writes: “Late Fascism is brilliant, incisive, and
right on time. We are living through a moment when the “F” word is no
longer taboo and the threat of fascism lurks everywhere. And yet, so
mired in debates over definitions, typologies, and analogies that our
understanding of fascism remains elusive. Alberto Toscano avoids this
trap by turning to anti-fascist thinkers, whose groundings in
anticolonial, antiracist, and anticapitalist struggles remind us that
liberalism is no enemy of fascism, and fascists flower in the hot house
of capitalism.”
Dr. Alberto Toscano: In order to understand interwar European fascism, itself a detour, so to speak, through an older and in fact, also US-based history, was quite vital. We need a revision of our understanding of the origins, but also the nature in a more global sense, of European historical fascism, classical fascism that travels through those North American histories, as well as the Imperial and colonial histories more broadly. It's part of a more complex and planetary or international circulation, but also kind of mutation of fascism.
