From Proud Boys to Orbán, from the AfD to Trump: authoritarian actors are networking and gaining ground. But can left theory still explain this? Alex Demirović argues it’s time to rethink fascism — and the limits of our critique. rosalux.de/en/news/id/534…

In LA saturday? Join my book-talk in the Village Well on my book Nordic Socialism - the path Towards a democratic Economy. I am honored to be in conversation with two important US left thinkers, Meagan Day and Ben Burgis I can’t imagine better conversation partners for a
