Fascismo

Seventy-five years ago, George Orwell complained that there was no accepted definition of fascism and lamented that "we won't get one - in any case, not yet." Certainly little has changed in the media, the "blogosphere" and in other public spaces. But for those intrigued and enraged by the word, this book brings good news, as it takes stock of the confusion surrounding the term before presenting the brief, but powerful, practical definition that now serves as a premise for the burgeoning international and multilingual field of fascism. compared. This deceptively short book, written by the world's leading authority on fascism, shows how a compelling definition based on serious commitment to its devastating interwar history allows it to distinguish itself from other forms of today's right-wing politics. Therefore, it provides much-needed clarity to the terms we use in evaluating the growing dangers for a truly liberal democracy.
