Fascism

White Power, White Decadence, White Denial

April 24, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Ajamu, the U.S. and Israel began their attack on Iran on February 28, thinking they could change the regime with a bombing campaign. But fortunately, Iran has better defense capabilities than they thought, and has been able to defend itself. Things have not worked out the way the US thought. There is a ceasefire in effect, there were talks which did not last very long, which actually, perhaps is better for Iran. Iran is controlling the Strait of Hormuz. The US claimed to have boarded an Iranian vessel. What is your understanding of where we are now?

Global South Leaders Discuss Anti-Fascist Strategies

April 19, 2026 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The Global Progressive Mobilization (GPM), an international summit of progressives from around the world, was inaugurated on Friday, April 17, in Barcelona, Spain. The event brings together representatives of political movements from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America to establish a strategic alliance to confront the global rise of the far right. The summit, which will continue until Saturday, April 18, seeks to lay the foundations for a historic pact that unifies progressive parties in the defense of participatory and humanist democracy.

Teaching In And Against The State

April 18, 2026 Ranita Ray, Red Pepper. , , , ,
Book bans, immigration raids, and efforts to erase Black, migrant, disabled, trans and queer students and their histories are spreading across the US. Public schools have once again been cast into the political spotlight as the Trump administration tries to dismantle the Department of Education altogether. Teachers are beset on all sides, preparing themselves for union backlash, layoffs as a result of teaching Black and queer history, and even immigration sweeps. In this context, headline after headline casts teachers as natural allies with communities under threat.

The Light Of Palestine Will Lead The Way To Global Liberation

March 21, 2026 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Today, for the people of the world, there is no confusion. We are clear. This world is not governed by law but by power, not by justice, but by empire, not by the equal worth of human life, but by the permanent hierarchy of lives. With Gaza, what we see is not the breakdown of the liberal order, but the order as it is, naked, unashamed and violent, an order built on conquest, on slavery, on genocide, an order built on theft, theft of land, theft of labor, theft of life, and now that order has spoken clearly, some lives matter, some lives do not. Some deaths are crimes, some deaths are policy. 

The World According To Gaza

March 16, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Gaza is only the start. The new world order is one where the weak are obliterated by the strong, the rule of law does not exist, genocide is an instrument of control and barbarism is triumphant. The war on Iran and the obliteration of Gaza is the beginning. Welcome to the new world order. The age of technologically-advanced barbarism. There are no rules for the strong, only for the weak. Oppose the strong, refuse to bow to its capricious demands and you are showered with missiles and bombs. Hospitals, elementary schools, universities and apartment complexes are reduced to rubble. 

The Urgent Need For The Black Radical Tradition

March 15, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The celebrated Pan-African revolutionary who was born Stokely Carmichael became known as Kwame Ture circa1969 at the age of 28. He died in 1998 at the age of 57, which means that he was called Kwame Ture for at least as long as he was known by his more well-known birth name. A museum dedicated to Black history should know this easy-to-discover fact, but oddly, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, part of the Smithsonian Institution, seems unable to provide this information and still uses the name Carmichael.

The United States Is On The Path To Fascism; How To Change Course

March 2, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , ,
Is the United States a fascist state? There is an authoritarian in the White House, systemic racism is rampant, our cities and towns are being militarized, concentration camps are under construction, and our politicians are controlled by corporations. Clearing the FOG speaks with longtime activist and lawyer, Michael Smith, host of Law and Disorder and editor of the new book, "From the Flag to the Cross: Fascism American Style", about where the United States is on the path to fascism, what we can expect and what we can do to change course. Smith explains what socialism is and why it is the solution for those who believe in democracy.

Thousands Mark Igman March Anniversary As ‘New Fascism’ Spreads

February 9, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , ,
On January 27 and 28, 1942, hundreds of Yugoslav partisans marched over Mount Igman in Bosnia to evade Nazi encirclement and reach liberated territory in Foča. This feat of the First Proletarian Brigade – carried out at temperatures around −30 degrees Celsius, with dozens of fighters dying or suffering injuries due to frostbite – became a defining moment of the antifascist resistance. It is commemorated to this day, testifying to the determination and endurance of the partisans. Every year, thousands travel to Igman from across the former republics of socialist Yugoslavia to pay tribute, while also drawing inspiration and strength for contemporary struggles.

Partisan Turin Rises Against Militarization And Repression

February 3, 2026 People's Dispatch. , , ,
On January 31, around 50,000 people mobilized in Turin against the forced closure of the social center Askatasuna and the increasingly repressive policies of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right government. Authorities deployed hundreds of police officers, who used tear gas and physical force against demonstrators during the march. The following day, mainstream media and official accounts attempted to shift attention away from the scale of the mobilization and the violence used by the authorities, instead focusing on injuries apparently sustained by a police officer.

The Hardest Part Of Fighting Fascism Comes After The Fascists Fall

February 1, 2026 Joel Westheimer, Truthout. , , , ,
I lived in Argentina in the mid-1980s, just after the fall of the brutal military dictatorship that ruled from 1976 to 1983. The country was taking its first, shaky steps back toward democracy. It was a time of great hope, but also of grave uncertainty — because while the generals were gone, the political culture that enabled them remained. Like most of the nation, I was captivated by the pioneering trials of the military generals that promised to restore justice. But watching the trials, reading the commentary, and witnessing the national response, it became increasingly clear that after a dictatorship collapses, its shadow lingers. Institutions that propped it up may be quick to pivot but slow to reform.

Italian Workers Are Building A Global Movement Against Fascism, Launch February 6

January 26, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , ,
Last Fall, Italians turned out in massive numbers to support the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza and to stop weapons shipments to Israel. They held nationwide days of action to "Block Everything." The Unione Syndicale de Base (USB), a grassroots worker-led organization, supported those actions and is now building an international day of action on February 6 against militarization and for stronger social programs. Clearing the FOG speaks with Francesco Staccioli, who leads USB's international organizing, about the current conditions for workers in Italy, state repression, and the necessity of building a global movement against the rise of fascism. Staccioli describes fascism as a product of capitalism and warns that we must work in solidarity to stop fascism and build alternative structures.

The Architecture Of The Repressive National Security State

January 24, 2026 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
What we are witnessing in the United States today is not a series of isolated policy excesses or unfortunate “overreaches,” but the maturation of a coherent architecture of repression — a national security state that fuses intelligence, policing, militarization, and ideological discipline into a single system of control. This system is not reactive; it is proactive. It is not defensive; it is anticipatory. And it is not primarily about safety — it is about managing populations, suppressing dissent, and maintaining imperial order in a moment of systemic crisis, fueling the consolidation of fascism.

Chris Hedges: The Machinery Of Terror

January 12, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I saw them during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, where 30,000 men, women and children were “disappeared” by the military junta. Victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones. I saw them in El Salvador, when death squads were killing 800 people a month. I saw them in Guatemala under the dictatorship of José Efraín Ríos Montt. I saw them in Augusto Pinochet’s Chile and in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. I saw them in Iran under the rule of the ayatollahs where I was arrested and jailed twice and once deported in handcuffs.

Grand Illusion

January 10, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
All empires, when they are dying, worship the idol of war. War will save the empire. War will resurrect past glory. War will teach an unruly world to obey. But those who bow down before the idol of war, blinded by hypermasculinity and hubris, are unaware that while idols begin by calling for the sacrifice of others, they end by demanding self-sacrifice. Ekpyrosis, the inevitable conflagration that destroys the world according to the ancient Stoics, is part of the cyclical nature of time. There is no escape. Fortuna. There is a time for individual death.

The Antidote To Fear Is Courage

January 8, 2026 Azadeh Shahshahani and Stephanie Guilloud, In These Times. , , ,
A leaked Justice Department memo in early December outlined Attorney General Pam Bondi’s directive to the FBI to ​“compile a list of groups or entities engaged in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism.” In addition to establishing a ​“cash reward system” for information, the memo, first published by journalist Ken Klippenstein, lays out targets that include those who express ​“opposition to law and immigration enforcement,” ​“adherence to radical gender ideology,” ​“anti-Christianity,” ​“anti-capitalism,” and ​“anti-Americanism.”
