- Fascism is a form of mental disorder at societal scale. Posted July 27, 2018 What we call it is unimportant, but it would be important to note what fascism is not: a political ideology. It would be more precise to call it a society-level mental disorder cloaked in political ideology.

In the early 2000s, after a notable resurgence of interest among historians and other scholars mostly in the humanities, ‘fascism’ rejoined an active political lexicon. For some, mostly on the Left, it had never exactly been dropped: sloganeering and glibness apart, it signified well-understood meanings, simultaneously historic – located firmly in ...
For many commentators, speaking of fascism has come to make sense. At first slow and uneven, by 2016 such talk was everywhere. As concerned democrats in the United States worried about the meanings of the new Trump Presidency, ‘fascism’ and ‘anti-fascism’ were constantly in play – as warning and slogan; as emotional rallying-point; as viscerally re...
Focusing too literally on the two primary interwar cases traps us into too narrowly drawn an understanding. For one thing, we need to widen the comparative frame.

How might this help for the present? If ‘fascism’ is more than just a polemical weapon or everyday pejorative, then how should we use it responsibly? What is distinctive about the contemporary crisis and the politics it inspires? Once we historicize, what does this language enable us to see? What does it obscure? What can we take from the histories...
In thinking about fascism, I have always found the immediate crisis the best place to begin – whether paradigmatically in the years 1917–23 and 1929–1934 in Italy and Germany, or now in the portal to fascism in the United States today.39The most obvious difference between these two moments is in the organized social and political strength of the Le...

2 days ago · What does fascism mean? Many experts agree that fascism is a mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of the nation over the individual.
Aug 22, 2002 · A definition of fascism must incorporate the advantages of Marxist, Weberian, and totalitarian theories and not neglect either fascist ideas or their relationship with diverse social groups, accounting for both the radical and reactionary sides of fascism.
In spite of (perhaps because of) the publication of a vast number of works, there has been little agreement over a series of fundamental questions. In particular, there is little consensus about the basic defining characteristics of fascism.
