Fascismâs global spread is real â as real as the spread of Covid-19
In the worldâs largest democracies, far-right movements that embrace violence, reject democracy, and target the vulnerable are on the rise.
The global spread of fascism is real, as real as the spread of COVID-19, and you better believe it.
For purposes of academic analysis, it might be legitimate to distinguish between a âfascist-leaningâ movement and a truly fascist one, or a far-right regime and fascist regime, or an authoritarian populist and a fascist. But I am a former member of the Philippine parliament and a street activist. While I have great respect for academics, those of us who operate in the realm of practical politics cannot afford to act as academics.
