what makes neofascism so obscene and galling is that, whereas classical fascism grew out of the calamities of war, disease, immiseration and revolution, neofascism comes out of an era of unprecedented peace, abundance, freedom, and security

Trump has entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds.

Neoliberalism(Pinochetism/Reaganism/Thatcherism) is historically the social-democracy of neofascism, i.e., the system that slowly but surely leads us to neofascism.
Fascism is worse than neoliberalism in literally every way

Professor Stanley has in fact written a whole book about how neofascism attacks & infiltrates educational institutions.
A professor writes: (Jason Stanley) The problem is that journalists failed to do basic journalism. Not a single reporter seems to have checked’ Jason Arday’s citations. The ‘quantifiable metrics’ of his work.
Prof Stanley did: ‘Arday is easily comparable to the leading scholars in the field’

Trying to boil down the essential aims of American-style fascism (which has, of course, metastasized beyond the USA):
-LGBTQ genocide (emphasis on the "T")
-Greater Israel / Palestinian genocide
-Subjugation of women
-Racial resegregation
-Vaccine bans
-War with China and/or Iran
-A.I. dominance

New book! 📚 “Neofascism and the Far Right in Brazil” (Cambridge University Press, 2025).
The book is an analysis of the development of neofascism in Brazil, from the democratic transition to the present day, comprising three major waves of evolution.

man it would be nice if we were to see a global repudiation of neofascism
Indian voters appeared to deliver an unexpected repudiation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership as early vote tallies on Tuesday showed tepid support for his Hindu nationalist party, piercing the air of invincibility around the most dominant Indian politician in decades.
India’s early election results point to rebuke for Modi and his party
The results appear to mark a rare setback for a politician who has never failed to secure a majority in state or national elections over a 23-year political career.

suicidism and apocalypticism have always been fundamental to fascism, but the true innovation of postmodern fascism (ie neofascism) is reject earthly power in pursuit of obliteration. while there has traditionally been some sort of metaphysics to justify this, neofascism is built upon annihilaition

Well said. The Democratic Party, if it is to come back, is going to have to think real hard whether clinging to neoliberalism is worth losing to neofascism, with all of the consequences therein.
The tax fight next year is going to be an absolute barn burner and it gives our side a perfect opportunity for moral and strategic clarity. They want to raise the price of stuff you buy and use your money to give more to corporations. Let’s keep it simple and let’s fight, after the holidays.
