Fascism today : what it is and how to end it
Shane Burley (Author), Matthew Nemiroff Lyons
We can no longer ignore the fact that fascism is on the rise in the United States. What was once a fringe movement has been gaining cultural acceptance and political power for years. Rebranding itself as "Alt Right" and riding the waves of both Donald Trump's hate fueled populism and the anxieties of an abandoned working class, fascists have sought to mainstream their views while inspiring racist street violence. They must be stopped. Antifascism today is more than a struggle against this or that fascist barbarity. It is a movement for equality. Yes, black-masked Antifa militants are part of this struggle, but Burley focuses his attention on the popular, broad-based antifascist practices that have historically proven effective against the Alt Right, neo-Nazi skinheads, the KKK, and armed militia groups. These practices - which include public pressure and educational campaigns, neighborhood resistance groups, support for people trying to leave hate groups, direct confrontation, boycotts, doxxing, and much more - are what we need to turn antifascism into a mass movement for far-reaching social change
