Warnings that fascism could return under a new label
Original: If we don't understand fascism and recognize fascism when we see it, it might crop up again — under another label — and
Commentators are warning that fascism may re-emerge under a different name if people fail to recognize its characteristics. The argument ties historical awareness to prevention, suggesting that without understanding how fascism took root in the past, societies could repeat the mistakes that led to war. The discussion is framed around history, propaganda and current US politics.
Why now: Ongoing concerns about authoritarian tendencies in contemporary US politics are prompting comparisons to historical fascism.
