Shane Burley (@shane_burley1) joins us to talk about his book, ‘Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It.’ The fascist reverence for “natural” hierarchies as justified by racial pseudoscience and gender essentialism. The attractive-to-some notion that white men aren’t doing well because the system supports the wrong people. The taxonomy of the modern right and how people with a variety of passions come together under “alt-right” and “alt-lite” banners. How the alt-right coopts left concerns like colonial struggles, “identity politics” and foreign interventionism. The alt-right’s critique of capitalism. How to fight fascism using a diversity of tactics, from electoral politics to direct action.

Then, Matt Taibbi on The Majority Report on February 3, 2006
