Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism
XTN Alexander and Matthew N Lyons, PM Press, £22.99
DONALD TRUMP is certainly the figure around which fascists in the United States have flocked to more than any other politician, but the movement does not need him as much as he needs the movement.
Fascists and fascist sympathisers have become more brazen in the years since Trump was elected in 2016. The last time such extremely racist and misogynist arguments were heard on such a large stage was in the late 1960s and early ’70s when George Wallace ran for president.
Today, we live in a world where the president of the US has surrounded himself with men and women who not only repeat Wallace’s bigoted politics but use his power to enforce them.
