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...

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...
