Book excerpt: Since Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign in June 2015, Fascism has reared its ugly head with the predictable results of a rise in hate crimes, the murder and physical assaults on anti-Fascist activists, and a worsening political environment for religious and racial minorities in the United States. "We have been awakened," a far-right activist recently told New Yorker journalist Evan Osnos soon after Trump announced his presidential bid. We need to push them back underneath the rocks they came from. Knowing our history is vital part of the struggle to defeat them.This book is a collection of several articles on the history of Fascism and anti-Fascism in the United States in the 1930s. They came to be out of my curiosity, largely in response to growth of European Fascism especially in Greece a few years ago, and the initial response to the Trump presidential campaign. I hope they provide some historical insight into the current development of Fascism and how to fight. Of all of the major capitalist nations, they United States had one of the weakest traditions of Fascism. Has this change? We shall see.
Book Synopsis Fascism in America by : Gavriel D. Rosenfeld
Download or read book Fascism in America written by Gavriel D. Rosenfeld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has fascism arrived in America? In this pioneering book, Gavriel D. Rosenfeld and Janet Ward have gathered experts to survey the history of fascism in the United States. Although the US established a staunch anti-fascist reputation by defeating the Axis powers in World War II, the unsettling truth is that fascist ideas have long been present within American society. Since the election of Donald Trump as President in 2016, scholars have debated whether Trumpism should be seen as an outgrowth of American conservatism or of a darker - and potentially fascist - tradition. Fascism in America contributes to this debate by examining the activities of interwar right-wing groups like the Silver Shirts, the KKK, and the America First movement, as well as the post-war rise of Black antifascism and white vigilantism, the representation of American Nazis in popular culture, and policy options for combating right-wing extremism.

Book Synopsis The Coming of the American Behemoth by : Michael Joseph Roberto
Download or read book The Coming of the American Behemoth written by Michael Joseph Roberto and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people in the United States have been trained to recognize fascism in movements such as Germany’s Third Reich or Italy’s National Fascist Party, where charismatic demagogues manipulate incensed, vengeful masses. We rarely think of fascism as linked to the essence of monopoly-finance capitalism, operating under the guise of American free-enterprise. But, as Michael Joseph Roberto argues, this is exactly where fascism’s embryonic forms began gestating in the United States, during the so-called prosperous 1920s and the Great Depression of the following decade. Drawing from a range of authors who wrote during the 1930s and early 1940s, Roberto examines how the driving force of American fascism comes, not from reactionary movements below, but from the top, namely, Big Business and the power of finance capital. More subtle than its earlier European counterparts, writes Roberto, fascist America’s racist, top-down quashing of individual liberties masqueraded as “real democracy,” “upholding the Constitution,” and the pressure to be “100 Percent American.” The Coming of the American Behemoth is intended as a primer, to forge much-needed discourse on the nature of fascism, and its particular forms within the United States. The book focuses on the role of the capital-labor relationship during the period between the two World Wars, when the United States became the epicenter of the world-capitalist system. Concentrating on specific processes, which he characterizes as terrorist and non-terrorist alike, Roberto argues that the interwar period was a fertile time for the incubation of a protean, more salable form of tyranny – a fascist behemoth in the making, whose emergence has been ignored or dismissed by mainstream historians. This book is a necessity for anyone who fears America tipping ever closer, in this era of Trump, to full-blown fascism.

Book Synopsis American Fascism by : Brynn Tannehill
Download or read book American Fascism written by Brynn Tannehill and published by Transgress Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trump is out of the White House, but American democracy is on the ropes and teetering on the brink of competitive authoritarianism controlled by theocrats and oligarchs. With its cherished institutions hobbled, political norms trampled, guardrails severely damaged, and body politic divided by chasms of race and geography, can the U.S. survive another administration dedicated to establishing de facto single party rule? In this compelling, comprehensive analysis, Brynn Tannehill draws on her expertise in studying the collapse of weak democracies around the globe and her previous research in law, political science, economics and right-wing populism to explain the trajectory of how we got here and the current threats we face. Most importantly, she analyzes what the characteristics of fascism are, if they are applicable to the base of the GOP today, and what that means for us should they succeed in establishing permanent minoritarian rule. American Fascism is a surgical analysis of 250 years of struggle for democracy in America and a prescient prognosis of what’s to come if we do not heed Tannehill’s warnings and advice.
Book Synopsis Native American Fascism During the 1930s and 1940s by : Morris Schonbach

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ch. 8 (p. 265-302), "Anti-Semitism as a Factor in Native Fascism, " states that anti-Jewish arguments furnished an effective lowest common denominator binding together the many seemingly unrelated Native Fascist organizations, publications, and individuals. Antisemitism spread vigorously in the 1930s, aided by economic discontent, the example of Nazi Germany, certain features of the New Deal, and the communist bogey. Still, the majority of Americans found antisemitism offensive and nonsensical. The extent of support for Native Fascism is difficult to gauge. Cites several polls indicating that 40-45% of Americans were mildly bigoted, while 5-10% were violently antisemitic. Describes the career of Charles E. Coughlin, who is considered to have been the most effective force in generating antisemitism in the late 1930s-early 1940s.

Book Synopsis On Fascism by : Matthew C. MacWilliams
Download or read book On Fascism written by Matthew C. MacWilliams and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As featured on NPR's "On Point" "The twelve lessons in On Fascism draws from American history and brilliantly complement those of Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny." —Laurence Tribe An expert on American authoritarianism offers a searing rebuke of the exceptional narrative that dominates our understanding of US history. In 12 lessons, Matthew C. MacWilliams' On Fascism exposes the divisive rhetoric, strongman tactics, violent othering, and authoritarian attitudes that course through American history and compete with our egalitarian, democratic aspirations.Trumpism isn’t new, but rooted in our refusal to come to terms with this historical reality. The United States of Lyncherdom, as Mark Twain labeled America. Lincoln versus Douglas. The Chinese Exclusion Act. The Trail of Tears. The internment of Japanese-Americans. The Palmer Raids. McCarthyism. The Surveillance State. At turning points throughout history, as we aspired toward great things, we also witnessed the authoritarian impulse drive policy and win public support. Only by confronting and reconciling this past, can America move forward into a future rooted in the motto of our Republic since 1782: e pluribus unum (out of many, one). But this book isn’t simply an indictment. It is also a celebration of our spirit, perseverance, and commitment to the values at the heart of the American project. Along the way, we learn about many American heroes – like Ida B. Wells, who dedicated her life to documenting the horrors of lynching throughout the nation, or the young Jewish-American who took a beating for protesting a Nazi rally in New York City in 1939. Men and women who embodied the soaring, revolutionary proclamations set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to the Constitution. On Fascism is both an honest reckoning and a call for reconciliation. Denial and division will not save the Republic, but coming to terms with our history might.
Book Synopsis American Fascism and the New Deal by : Nelson A. Pichardo Almanzar
Download or read book American Fascism and the New Deal written by Nelson A. Pichardo Almanzar and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Fascism and the New Deal demonstrate how fascist ideas gained popularity in the Associated Farmers of California during the 1930s and 40s. It shows that the politics of the intervening decades created economic and political policies that planted the seeds for these fascist ideas by forming alliances between the corporate-private realm and the state-public realm. These same alliances made FDR and subsequent political figures rethink the direction they wanted to take American democracy. Through a careful analysis of the Associated Farmers of California, Nelson A. Pichardo Almanzar and Brian Kulik show how the AFC formed positions in direct alliance with fascist ideas, but also why these ideas resonate with so many people even to this day. The analysis presented in American Fascism and the New Deal will be of particular interest to sociologists, especially social movement theorists; Chicana/o studies scholars; political scientists; business ethicists; and historians.
Download or read book American Fascists written by Chris Hedges and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five years ago, when Pat Robertson and other radio and televangelists first spoke of the United States becoming a Christian nation that would build a global Christian empire, it was hard to take such hyperbolic rhetoric seriously. Today, such language no longer sounds like hyperbole but poses, instead, a very real threat to our freedom and our way of life. In American Fascists, Chris Hedges, veteran journalist and author of the National Book Award finalist War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, challenges the Christian Right's religious legitimacy and argues that at its core it is a mass movement fueled by unbridled nationalism and a hatred for the open society. Hedges, who grew up in rural parishes in upstate New York where his father was a Presbyterian pastor, attacks the movement as someone steeped in the Bible and Christian tradition. He points to the hundreds of senators and members of Congress who have earned between 80 and 100 percent approval ratings from the three most influential Christian Right advocacy groups as one of many signs that the movement is burrowing deep inside the American government to subvert it. The movement's call to dismantle the wall between church and state and the intolerance it preaches against all who do not conform to its warped vision of a Christian America are pumped into tens of millions of American homes through Christian television and radio stations, as well as reinforced through the curriculum in Christian schools. The movement's yearning for apocalyptic violence and its assault on dispassionate, intellectual inquiry are laying the foundation for a new, frightening America. American Fascists, which includes interviews and coverage of events such as pro-life rallies and weeklong classes on conversion techniques, examines the movement's origins, its driving motivations and its dark ideological underpinnings. Hedges argues that the movement currently resembles the young fascist movements in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and '30s, movements that often masked the full extent of their drive for totalitarianism and were willing to make concessions until they achieved unrivaled power. The Christian Right, like these early fascist movements, does not openly call for dictatorship, nor does it use physical violence to suppress opposition. In short, the movement is not yet revolutionary. But the ideological architecture of a Christian fascism is being cemented in place. The movement has roused its followers to a fever pitch of despair and fury. All it will take, Hedges writes, is one more national crisis on the order of September 11 for the Christian Right to make a concerted drive to destroy American democracy. The movement awaits a crisis. At that moment they will reveal themselves for what they truly are -- the American heirs to fascism. Hedges issues a potent, impassioned warning. We face an imminent threat. His book reminds us of the dangers liberal, democratic societies face when they tolerate the intolerant.

Book Synopsis Understanding the F-Word by : David McGowan
Download or read book Understanding the F-Word written by David McGowan and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-06-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By offering a radical review of the last one hundred years of US history, this work is intended as a counterpoint to the rampant revisionism of the flurry of books glorifying the "American Century". Beginning with the rather bold and decidedly controversial assertion that the current political system in place in the United States at the dawn of the twenty-first century is fascism, the first part of this book attempts to justify that claim by first defining exactly what fascism iscorrecting various widely-held misconceptionsand then analyzing how closely we as a nation conform to that definition. Also included is a review of some of the hidden history and key events of World War II. Part II offers a retrospective of the twentieth century American presidential administrations, to demonstrate that the steady and inexorable march towards overt fascism was a defining characteristic that remained unchanged. The final section looks at the still very much alive eugenics movement, and analyzes the role played by the psychiatric establishment in validating the fascist state. This book will surely find no shortage of detractors, but if read with an open mind, it just may change the way you view the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we could simplify and generalize the basic tenets promoted by the 3 major political positions of the modern era they would be as such: Communism: United we are Equal Democracy: United we are Individuals Fascism: United we are Stronger With our planet resources dwindling, and a divided population growing, it is time for us to take a moment to ponder: what are we doing and why are we doing it? Just because we were born into a system of government and a way of life does not mean we are destined to be decisionless about our path in life. Life is short and we are ever evolving, we have to be honest with ourselves: We are wasting our short time and our potential as a unified, driven, focused people. Instead of working together to learn, explore, discover and advance - we are working against each other, for material objects and capital that amounts to nothing but numbers in your bank account. Instead of spending our time working towards a cause and goals that brings us all together, we instead spend the lion's share of our time occupied with fulfilling instant self-gratification desires. And for why? Fascism does what Modernity cannot: provide the why.
