How to Stop Fascism

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

How can we stop the spread of fascism? The bestselling author of PostCapitalism offers a guide to resisting the far right.

The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to Bolsonaro's Brazil, fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past; it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight it.

In How to Stop Fascism, Paul Mason offers a hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism and a compelling history of the fascist phenomenonβ€”its psychological roots, political theories, and genocidal logic. Fascism, Mason argues, is a symptom of capitalist failure, and it has haunted us throughout the twentieth century.

History shows us the conditions that breed fascism, and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us to challenge it, and time is running out. In the aftermath of COVID-19, we have an opportunity to create a fairer, more equal society. To do so, we must ask ourselvesβ€”what kind of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?
