Sam gives an update on Trump's new appointments to his Revengers cabinet and their implications, shouts out Evan Greer's disruption of anti-trans bigot Rep. Nancy Mace, and underscores the qualitative changes in governance that fascism represents and calls for collective action against MAGA fascism NOW not waiting until atrocities are underway.  Sam also discusses Trump's plans for mass deportations of at least 11 million people, drawing parallels to historical atrocities and emphasizing the urgent need for mass defense, disruption and disobedience to support our immigrant siblings and stop the fascists from implementing their nightmare program.

From 5-22-24, Nicole Sandler speaks with Federico Finchelstein, author of THE WANNABE FASCISTS: A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING THE GREATEST THREAT TO DEMOCRACY

Sam discusses the historic guilty verdict that was just rendered by a jury against Trump this past week (34 felonies for falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, all for the purposes of ensuring his illegitimate election in 2016), along with the slew of unhinged fascist threats and rants that have come in the aftermath of the verdict. Then, as this guilty verdict has in no way stopped his campaign for power again, she talks with two contributors to the June issue of The New Republic titled What American Fascism Would Look Like. Emmanuel Guerisoli discusses his essay The “Day One” Dictatorship (co-authored by Federico Finchelstein).

Professor Federico Finchelstein is an expert on fascism and populism. His new book, The Wannabe Fascists, takes a look at the new global movement of fascists and populists, headed by Trump, Bolsonaro, and Modi, and explains how they've adapted the anti-democracy playbook to the modern times.  In this interview, Federico dissects the current prevalence of fascist movements across the globe, and explains how Trump now fits the definition of a fascist.

Trump and MAGA Republicans are floating the crackpot idea that President Biden's FBI was ready to target Trump with lethal force when it searched Mar-a-Lago. This is based on a wildly absurd reading of FBI policy, but beyond this, we think this saga says something larger about the fascistic politics of Trump and his MAGA allies.

I've been doing my best to have guests on this program who can explain the threats we are facing from fascism by way of Trump and his MAGAt sycophants. We've exposed "Project 2025" and urge you to learn as much as possible about what they are planning should they retake power. It really is urgent -- all hands on deck kind of urgent.Today we'll give you the knowledge you need to push back on the mis and disinformation, lies and propaganda they're pushing. There's a reason TFG said "I love the poorly educated!". They're easier to manipulate. In that spirit, I was happy for the opportunity to speak with Federico Finchelstein today on the show. He's now written eight books on the subject of Fascism, including the brand-new one, just out one week, THE WANNABE FASCISTS: A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING THE GREATEST THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. Federico also contributed an article to this week's special edition of The New Republic called "What American Fascism Would Look Like".

Cosa sono i fascismi, e cosa sono i populismi, e come si sono evoluti e manifestati in ogni parte del mondo? Questo è il tema centrale del nostro ultimo libro recensito per il 2023.

El pasado domingo 22 de octubre, más de 27 millones de votantes argentinos determinaron que Sergio Massa, candidato por la coalición oficialista Unión por la Patria, y Javier Milei abanderado de La Libertad Avanza pasan a la segunda vuelta, prevista para el próximo 19 de noviembre. Semanas decisivas en las que se definirá la elección, ya que si bien Massa obtuvo un importante 36% de los votos y por poco no ganó la elección en primera vuelta, ciertamente la diferencia porcentual con Milei no es inalcanzable. Ese 6% aproximadamente que le distancia con Milei, pudiera remontarse de conformidad a nuevas alianzas electorales que pueda llegar con la coalición Juntos por el Cambio. Tercera fuerza política que sale del "foto finish", pero que puede jugar un papel decisivo con ese 23% del electorado conseguido recientemente. Ha resultado especialmente llamativo, el repunte en el desempeño electoral de Sergio Massa, considerando que como Ministro de Economía, su figura está asociada directamente al pésimo rendimiento económico del gobierno. Aún así, pudo ganar la mayoritaria preferencia del electorado y ralentizar con ello el crecimiento que se tenía previsto para Javier Milei, con su victoria en las pasadas elecciones primarias (PASO). En este suspenso la Argentina contiene la respiración a medida que se acerca la segunda vuelta, en una campaña descarnada, envuelta en una profunda crispación, y como afirma el historiador Federico Finchelstein, pareciera haberse desatado la batalla de los populismos en ambos extremos del espectro ideológico. Para examinar el complejo y cambiante panorama político electoral argentino de nuestro tiempo, nos acompañó en esta edición, casi monográfica, Sandra Choroszczucha. Politóloga y docente de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, columnista habitual de Latinoamérica 21 y de distintos medios internacionales. Con su respaldo analítico, nos adentraremos en un panorama electoral muy competido, pero con muchos elementos a examinar a los interno de estas dos opciones electorales sobre las que descansa el futuro inmediato de Argentina.

Donald Trump lidera las encuestas dentro del partido republicano y Robert Kennedy Jr. se lanzó como candidato independiente con el apoyo millonario del PAC American Values 2024. En México el actor y productor Eduardo Verástegui pretende llegar a la presidencia liderando un movimiento conservador y anti woke. Y el polémico Javier Milei estuvo a punto de convertirse en presidente de Argentina.Aunque usen calificativos diferentes para definirse, todos estos personajes tienen rasgos en común, como la promesa de romper con lo establecido y promover teorías de la conspiración. El historiador y experto en fascismo Federico Finchelstein nos va a explicar a qué se debe el auge de estas polémicas figuras, cuáles son los riesgos de que se consoliden y si nos enfrentamos a posibles nuevas formas de fascismo.

Para el fascismo el mito podía ser más real que la realidad. Las nociones fascistas de líder, nación, poder y violencia, impregnadas de imaginería mítica, tenían inscripta la fantasía de trascender la historia: un pasado primordial mitificado inspiraría el derrocamiento heroico de un presente degradado para lograr un futuro violentamente redimido. Asumiendo que comprender acabadamente lo distintivo de la mitología del fascismo es condición de posibilidad para la explicación de su peligro en el pasado y en el presente, Federico Finchelstein acude a una sorprendente combinación de pensadores para dar cuenta del fascismo como una maquinaria de creación de mitos políticos.  Conseguilo acá: https://bit.ly/3qs2vl1

El caso de un anciano que disparó a un adolescente afroamericano que solo tocó el timbre de su casa es una señal de alarma sobre una creciente realidad: en Estados Unidos la violencia armada y los discursos de odio se han incrementado. Federico Finchelstein es analista político, profesor de Historia en la New School for Social Research en Nueva York y experto en fascismo.Hoy nos va a ayudar a entender qué hay detrás de esta ola de actos violentos, qué papel juegan las teorías de la conspiración y cuánto influyen los mensajes de odio de políticos y medios de comunicación.

Esta es una muestra de "Breve historia de la mentira fascista". La versión completa tiene una duración total de 4 h 3 min. Encuentra este audiolibro completo en https://bit.ly/3K0yYVmNarrado por: Ezequiel AlvarezAl explicar por qué su antecesor mentía tanto, el presidente de los Estados Unidos de América, Joe Biden, dijo "Trump miente como Goebbels". ¿Era adecuada la comparación? Este libro sostiene que sí porque, en efecto, hoy asistimos a una notable y sostenida ola de emergencia de nuevos líderes populistas de derecha en todo el mundo que, al igual que los líderes fascistas del pasado, derivan gran parte de su poder político de cuestionar la realidad, respaldar mitos, promover ira y paranoia y difundir mentiras. Federico Finchelstein explica por qué los fascistas consideraban que sus mentiras ("verdades simples") llenas de odio, eran ciertas y por qué, a través de la historia del siglo XX, muchos seguidores de sus postulados las asumieron como verdad encarnada en sus líderes. Si de Hitler a Mussolini los líderes del fascismo capitalizaron la falsedad como base de su poder, esa historia continúa en el presente: ahora las noticias verdaderas se presentan como fake news y las noticias falsas se convierten en política de gobierno. La "post verdad", según se demuestra y detalla explícitamente aquí, tiene una larga historia política y un linaje intelectual bien preciso. Compendio vital sobre el momento sombrío que atraviesa la política contemporánea, esta no es solo una aguda historia intelectual del fascismo, sino un recordatorio urgente de la poderosa fuente de odio que subyace a nuestra era de negación de la realidad.© 2023, Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, S.

Twentieth-century fascism was a political ideology encompassing totalitarianism, state terrorism, imperialism, racism, and, in Germany's case, the most radical genocide of the last century: the Holocaust. Historians of the Holocaust tend to reject the notion of fascism as a causal explanation for its origins. Conversely, scholars of fascism present the Shoah as a particular event that is not central to fascist historiography. In this lecture Federico Finchelstein examines the challenge the Holocaust presents to the transnational history of ideology and politics. A leading contemporary authority on global fascism, Finchelstein is Professor of History at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College and Director of the Janey Program in Latin American Studies at NSSR.

An Historian of Fascism on Trump's January 6 Fascist Coup Attempt | Could Ukraine Win Small or Win Big? | The Global Food Crisis Caused by Russian War on Ukraine backgroundbriefing.org/donate twitter.com/ianmastersmedia facebook.com/ianmastersmedia

La masacre perpetrada en Buffalo por un joven de 18 años ha encendido de nuevo las alarmas sobre un movimiento fascista que cada vez gana más aceptación: la teoría del gran reemplazo. Esta corriente anti inmigrantes que apoya la supremacía blanca ha sido promovida en redes sociales y también en medios de comunicación, y el mensaje ha dado terribles resultados.Federico Finchelstein, experto en fascismo, académico, y autor de libros que han sido traducidos a más de seis idiomas, hoy nos va a explicar de qué se trata la teoría del gran reemplazo, a qué se debe su auge y cómo se podría frenar su inminente avance. 

En framgångsrik populist måste ha förmågan att piska upp opinioner med hjälp av effektfull propaganda. Men den som slår dövörat till gör det på egen risk, menar litteraturvetaren Jimmy Vulovic. Det finns nog få uttalanden Hillary Clinton ångrar lika mycket som att hälften av Donald Trumps väljare kan placeras i the basket of deplorables. Presidentvalet 2016 slutade illa för henne. Naturligtvis inte enbart på grund av det uttalandet men hennes ord bör ha spelat stor roll för att mobilisera Trumpväljare. Åtminstone efter att hans populistiska kampanj gjort sitt med det Hillary Clinton sa den 9 september 2016. En vecka senare intog han scenen på ett massmöte i Miami, Florida. Entrén skedde till tonerna av Do you hear the people sing från musikalen Les Misérables efter Victor Hugos roman från 1862. Det var en propagandistisk iscensättning av saker, händelser och tider som egentligen inte hör ihop. Sångens militäriska trummor dundrade. Bakom honom projicerades en storslagen revolutionsbild med USA:s fana centralt placerad, tillsammans med bland annat den franska trikoloren och den egna kampanjflaggan. Les Deplorables stod skrivet med stora bokstäver över den revolutionära folkmassan. Publikens jubel visste inga gränser. Publikens jubel visste inga gränser. Skickliga propagandister är alltid också opportunister, alltså den sortens människor som tar tillfället i akt så fort minsta möjlighet till påverkan ges. När nya medieteknologier dyker upp är de bland de första att ta dem till sig. Handskrift, tryckpress, fotografi, film, radio, ja, säg de teknologier som de inte snabbt har lyckats göra till effektiva propagandainstrument. I vår tid har den digitala tekniken med alla sociala medier och globala distributionsvägar förvandlats till både den politiska och kommersiella propagandans viktigaste redskap. Men det räcker såklart inte att bara vara snabb. Skickliga propagandister vet också att precision är viktigt i kampen om människornas känslor och åsikter, till exempel genom att dra nytta av växande trender och opinioner eller att som i Trumps fall effektivt vända en motståndares ord till sin fördel. När publiken lugnat ner sig lite sa han Welcome to all of you deplorables. Jubel igen. Därmed var ett i den politiska debatten nytt, slagkraftigt och långvarigt begrepp skapat. Sedan dess har det varit exempelvis den politiske strategen och rådgivaren Steve Bannons favoritbegrepp. En våg av memes och videos taggade med bland annat Les Deplorables och Deplorables Unite växte snabbt i styrka. Tack vare Hillary Clinton fick Trumps budskap om att återerövra USA från en arrogant och självtjänande elit mycket stor spridning i sociala medier och på videosajter. Propagandamaterialet ljudsattes ofta med Do you hear the people sing, i vilken ett nedtryckt folk stiger mot ljuset efter en avgörande strid. Sången är ett perfekt soundtrack till Donald Trumps populistiska strategi. Alla politiker i demokratier måste väl egentligen, för sin politiska överlevnads skull, vara någon form av populister. Samtidigt är den ideologiska populismen något mer än att bara försöka tilltala så många väljare som möjligt. Det finns alltså allmänna populister och sedan finns det populister med ett mer specifikt uppdrag. De senare bygger i princip all sin politik på föreställningen om ett ofta vagt definierat folks rätt att styra sitt öde. Det är en politisk strategi med lång historia och alla populiströrelser, såväl höger- som vänsterrörelser, när en idé om att det i kontrast till folkets vilja finns en korrupt och självtjänande elit som måste besegras, eller åtminstone regleras och regeras. Federico Finchelstein berättar i sin bok From fascism to populism från 2019 att den moderna populismen är starkt förknippad med fascism, eftersom det var den väg många fasciströrelser valde efter det andra världskrigets slut, alltså efter det totala ideologiska sammanbrott som krigsslutet innebar för dem. Antiliberalism och antielitism, fortsätter han, är två av de idéer som förenar fascismens och populismens retorik, liksom ofta främlingsfientlighet i de fall det rör sig om högerpopulism. Ändå är det enligt honom viktigt att skilja på begreppen. Populismen är inte detsamma som fascism eftersom den i regel inte bejakar våld som politisk strategi. Populister bejakar istället demokratin ledsagad av folkviljan. Den demokratiska idén om folkets självbestämmanderätt är drivande och kampen står för dem därför om att få definiera vem som tillhör respektive inte tillhör folket, samt som en följd av det vilka the enemy of the people är, för att låna Donald Trumps ord om liberal press och väl också om Hillary Clinton och hennes politiska klass. Och på spelplanens andra sida, så som den tog sig uttryck i exempelvis Occupy Wall Street och Bernie Sanders kampanjer, pekas folkfiendefingret istället mot till exempel big banks and businesses. Oavsett sida är risken för en majoritetens tyranni uppenbar, om inte individens rätt till liv, friheter och egendom säkerställs. Uttalandet om the basket of deplorables slog en bro genom tiden. Även om ideologisk populism brukar betraktas som ett modernt efterkrigsfenomen lades grunden för dess diskurs, alltså sättet att tala om och förstå det politiska livet, under 1700-talets amerikanska och franska revolutioner. Det var då de breda demokratiska idealen och idén om ett folk som ett subjekt med suverän rätt till självbestämmande föddes. Cas Mudde och Cristobal Rovira Kaltwasser påminner oss i boken Populism: A very short introduction från 2017 om att omvälvningen i Frankrike skedde på den aristokratiska elitens bekostnad. Ett argument för den blodiga uppgörelsen var den då nya idén om ett folk och en folkvilja som krävde sin rätt. Under efterföljande århundraden har sedan många andra eliter, både verkliga och rena konspirationsteoretiska fantasiprodukter, ställts mot påstådda folkviljor: kapitalister, världsjudendomens konspiratörer, socialister, militarister, globalister och nu alltså även liberal press och politiker som exempelvis Hillary Clinton. Uttalandet om the basket of deplorables slog en bro genom tiden. De nedsättande orden och det Donald Trump gjorde med dem skapade ett retoriskt associativt samband mellan franska revolutionen, dess förlorade ideal som i Les Misérables och valet 2016. Givet den öppet populistiska rörelse han leder är det lätt att förstå varför han så snabbt utnyttjade uttalandet. En maning till uppror mot det folkförakt hans anhängare såg i Hillary Clinton låg ju plötsligt bara där, precis som i en liten ask. Det var bara att öppna den. Svårare att förstå är varför Hillary Clinton bjöd på möjligheten. Kanske därför att hon behövde någonstans att placera alla de rasister, sexister, homofober, xenofober och islamofober hon såg i hans led. De finns ju onekligen där, precis som överallt annars. Men frågan är om det i huvudsak är just det hatet som nu driver denna populiströrelse, där röstandelen för Donald Trump bland flera minoriteter faktiskt ökade 2020. Och om det nu inte är det hatet som driver rörelsen just nu, säger då inte detta exempel något viktigt om faran i att hellre vilja se det man tror sig se än att se det uppenbara rakt framför en, faran med att se världen ur en snäv och död vinkel någonstans snett uppifrån.

En las últimas décadas tanto en la región latinoamericana como en todo el hemisferio occidental, se ha extendido un preocupante retroceso democrático. Un deterioro que ha impactado a la política y sus instituciones, así como también a la opinión pública. Presente en las distintas formas sociales que ha asumido la indignación y desafección ciudadana de nuestros días. Inconformidad capitalizada electoralmente por los liderazgos antidemocráticos de las últimas décadas. Ya con el colega y maestro Jesús Tovar, en un episodio anterior, abordamos esta particular situación desde la perspectiva del sistema político. Sin embargo, para complementar el análisis, es necesario examinar a estos líderes y su desenfadada disposición a destruir la democracia desde dentro. Logrando conquistar el respaldo electoral de importantes segmentos de la ciudadanía. Pero viendo el auge de estos controversiales personajes en buena parte de nuestras naciones, nos preguntamos ¿qué dice de nosotros como ciudadanos y votantes? ¿Qué dice de nuestro sistema político el encumbramiento de estas figuras? Las cuales incluso antes de llegar al poder, prometen la abolición de la pluralidad y normalizan la narrativa de la destrucción de los propios controles democráticos. ¿En qué fallamos para no advertir a tiempo este lenguaje sectario y polarizante? ¿Cómo un importante sector del electorado ha hecho suya tanto las promesas imposibles, como el creer que la discrepancia política es el principal enemigo de la nación? El entrevistado Para estudiar in extenso este fascinante tema, me acompañó Federico Finchelstein. Historiador y profesor de la New School for Social Research de Nueva York. Doctor por Cornell University Autor de varios libros enfocados en el estudio sobre el fascismo, populismos y diversas formas de dictaduras en nuestra historia contemporánea. Entre sus varios libros destacan "From Fascism to Populism in History" (2017) y “Brief History of Fascist Lies” (2020). Con él conversamos sobre la caracterización de estos tipos de liderazgos. Su contexto político, sus promesas y en especial su impacto en la salud democrática. Así como también analizamos qué elementos podrían ser útiles a tener en cuenta por los ciudadanos para resguardar nuestros derechos, libertades civiles y la democracia en general. Pues bien amigos sin más preámbulos, sean una vez más Bienvenidos a la conversación.

El fascismo fue creado hace 100 años en Italia por Benito Mussolini, se extendió durante el siglo XX por Europa y también llegó a América, fue derrotado, pero la tentación fascista nunca está muy lejos. A algunos líderes del siglo XXI se les ha llamado fascistas ¿Qué tienen de fascistas los populismos actuales? Nos da las claves Federico Finchelstein, historiador argentino, profesor en la New School for Social Research de Nueva York y especialista del fascismo. En su último libro ‘Breve historia de la mentira fascista’ (Taurus), Finchelstein sostiene que los líderes populistas del siglo XXI toman prestado del fascismo herramientas como cuestionar la realidad, promover la paranoia y también la violencia o difundir mentiras. A muchos de los dirigentes y políticos populistas actuales se les llama fascistas, pero ¿qué tienen exactamente de fascistas líderes como Trump, Bolsonaro, Vox en España, Salvini en Italia, Orban en Hungría o Narendra Modi en India? Con ellos “surge un populismo que se acerca cada vez más al fascismo porque vuelven a presentar al racismo, la xenofobia, el odio, la discriminación como eje central de la política, vuelven a la violencia y a la militarización de la política; y vuelve sobre todo a esa forma de mentir, y peor aún, transformar la realidad para que se parezca a la mentira que es más típico del fascismo que del populismo”, afirma Finchelstein. El autor de ‘Breve historia de la mentira fascista’ enumera cuatro elementos típicamente fascistas: la violencia, el racismo, la mentira y la dictadura, a la que también agregaría el golpe de Estado. Un caso paradigmático fue el asalto al Capitolio de Estados Unidos el 6 de enero de 2021. Ese día, partidarios de Trump irrumpieron en la sede del Congreso en Washington, ocupando varias partes del edificio durante horas coléricos por el resultado de las elecciones que ganó el demócrata Joe Biden. “Un mes antes publiqué un artículo en el Washington Post en el que advertía, justamente por lo que conocemos de las dictaduras latinoamericanas, que lo que parecía que Trump estaba planeando era un golpe de Estado basado justamente en esa gran mentira al estilo fascista, de que había ganado las elecciones cuando en realidad no las había ganado. Eso es lo que habría pasado si la democracia no hubiera derrotado esta gran mentira de Trump”, analiza Federico Finchelstein.  Se habla mucho del fascismo de derechas, pero ¿hay fascismo de izquierda? El experto responde con un rotundo no. “Los fascistas son anti izquierda y definen a sus enemigos como fascistas cuando los fascistas son ellos”, enfatiza. #EscalaenParís también está en Facebook.

Felipe Pigna conversa en Historias de Nuestra Historia con su colega y autor Federico Finchelstein, historiador argentino radicado en Estados Unidos y experto en la historia del fascismo, con reconocimiento internacional. Ha publicado artículos en América Latina, Europa y Estados Unidos en diversas revistas especializadas  y volúmenes colectivos acerca del fascismo, el Holocausto, la historia de los judíos en América Latina y Europa, el genocidio comparado, la Guerra Fría y la relación entre la historia y la teoría política. En esta charla, se centran en dos de sus publicaciones: "Orígenes Ideológicos de la Guerra Sucia", del 2016 y "Breve Historia de la Mentira Fascista", la más reciente, donde expone cómo los extremistas de ultraderecha creen en sus propias farsas y traza un paralelismo en la contemporaneidad, donde sostiene que los presidentes de Brasil y Estados Unidos, Jair Bolsonaro y Donald Trump respectivamente, hacen el mismo uso de la mentira fascista. Además, desarrollo de efemérides como en cada programa y en la sección La Perlita, escuchamos una charla entre Jorge Guinzburg y Tato Bores en "Peor es Nada" de 1991.

Al explicar por qué su antecesor mentía tanto, el presidente de los Estados Unidos de América, Joe Biden, dijo "Trump miente como Goebbels". ¿Era adecuada la comparación? Este libro sostiene que sí porque, en efecto, hoy asistimos a una notable y sostenida ola de emergencia de nuevos líderes populistas de derecha en todo el mundo que, al igual que los líderes fascistas del pasado, derivan gran parte de su poder político de cuestionar la realidad, respaldar mitos, promover ira y paranoia y difundir mentiras. Federico Finchelstein explica por qué los fascistas consideraban que sus mentiras ("verdades simples") llenas de odio, eran ciertas y por qué, a través de la historia del siglo XX, muchos seguidores de sus postulados las asumieron como verdad encarnada en sus líderes. Si de Hitler a Mussolini los líderes del fascismo capitalizaron la falsedad como base de su poder, esa historia continúa en el presente: ahora las noticias verdaderas se presentan como fake news y las noticias falsas se convierten en política de gobierno. La "post verdad", según se demuestra y detalla explícitamente aquí, tiene una larga historia política y un linaje intelectual bien preciso. Compendio vital sobre el momento sombrío que atraviesa la política contemporánea, esta no es solo una aguda historia intelectual del fascismo, sino un recordatorio urgente de la poderosa fuente de odio que subyace a nuestra era de negación de la realidad.

Matt and Sam take up the question that's dominating The Discourse: Is Donald Trump—and the movement he leads—fascist? To provide an answer, they turn to the rich historiography of fascism and some key essays on the subject published since Trump's election. Along the way, they break down different approaches and sets of criteria for evaluating fascism, consider the similarities—and differences—between the 1920s and '30s and today, and ponder whether or not the "fascist question" is the right one to be asking.

Marcelo Longobardi aborda el tema de la “nueva normalidad” tras la pandemia de coronavirus con el historiador argentino, Federico Finchelstein y David Lois García, profesor de psicología social y experto en movilidad urbana.

En diálogo con Vidas Prestadas, el historiador y autor de "Del fascismo al populismo en la historia", Federico Finchelstein, habló sobre el origen y los principales exponentes de estas ideologías. Además, analizó la relación entre el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y América Latina, y alertó por el autoritarismo de Jair Bolsonaro en Brasil.

Fascismi e populismi. Federico Finchelstein, storico argentino che insegna alla New School for Social Research di New York, ha studiato per vent'anni il fascismo e il populismo. Li ha osservati in tutte le loro manifestazioni geografiche, dall'America Latina all'Europa agli Stati Uniti. E nel tempo: dal Novecento agli anni Duemila. Qual è la relazione tra fascismi e populismi? Il professor Finchelstein sostiene che nel ‘900 il populismo ha rifiutato di vedere il fascismo come un alleato, mentre i populisti di oggi sono più vicini alle idee del fascismo. Memos ha ospitato il professor Finchelstein autore del libro “Dai fascismi ai populismi” (Donzelli, 2019). Per lo storico argentino c'è una lunga storia di reazione alla democrazia costituzionale e parlamentare, di cui il fascismo e il populismo sono due capitoli. «Il fascismo – sostiene Finkelstein – è una forma di dittatura, razzista, dove la violenza è un elemento centrale della sua concezione del potere. Il populismo - che emerge dopo il 1945 - è invece un processo di riformulazione storica dell'esperienza fascista in chiave democratica». In questi ultimi anni, se pensiamo alle esperienze di Trump negli Stati Uniti di Salvini in Europa e di Bolsonaro in Brasile, il populismo ha assunto una nuova forma. Ad esempio, racconta Finkelstein, «è tornato alla concezione del popolo che aveva il fascismo, il popolo come etnos. Questi populismi ritornano a certi elementi che sono centrali non al populismo ma al fascismo».

On this week’s Past Present podcast, Niki, Natalia, and Neil discuss the sharing economy, affirmative action, and whether Donald Trump is a fascist. Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: Harvard Business School researchers have issued a report about the pattern of racial discrimination in AirBnB. Other scholars and writers have raised additional concerns with the “sharing economy.” Niki noted the historical example of early twentieth century urban dwellers who took boarders to earn extra money, as depicted in the 1925 Anzia Yezierska novel Bread Givers. Natalia suggested Nick Grossman’s “gig economy” was a more accurate term than the “sharing economy” to capture how Americans are working and earning money today.Affirmative action is back in the news as the Supreme Court hears Abigail Fisher’s lawsuit against the University of Texas. Listen here for Justice Antonin Scalia’s controversial remarks during oral arguments last week. Neil noted the admissions data concerning Fisher’s application disproved the argument she had faced racial discrimination. Niki pointed to the prevalence of “reverse discrimination” language in conservative arguments about affirmative action, such as shown in a recent editorial from the National Review.Is Donald Trump a fascist? It’s a question a lot of people have been asking, but Niki noted a Vox roundtable of historians had concluded he was not. Natalia added the historian Federico Finchelstein’s point that in order for Trump to be considered a fascist, he would need to move from advocating discrimination against the “enemy” to proposing their elimination. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed Cosmopolitan magazine’s response to recent comments from Caitlyn Jenner about how trans women should look.Neil recommended Ta-Nehisi Coates’ essay in the Atlantic, “Hope and the Historian.” Natalia suggested placing Coates’ essay in conversation with James Fraser’s book, A History of Hope.Niki shared her project on the history of holidays at the White House she’s been working on for the Miller Center, including stories from the first White House Hanukkah celebration held during George H.
