The Rise Of End Times Fascism

A clear-eyed systemic analysis of “rightwing leaders and their rich allies” who have “bought into various apartheid fantasies of bunkered safety” and are “choosing to let the Earth burn” with a “darkly festive fatalism”. Two recommendations for moving forward: 1. “Understand this simple fact: we are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the liveability of our shared world – on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species.” And 2. “Counter their apocalyptic narratives with a far better story about how to survive the hard times ahead without leaving anyone behind. A story capable of draining end times fascism of its gothic power and galvanising a movement ready to put it all on the line for our collective survival. A story not of end times, but of better times; not of separation and supremacy, but of interdependence and belonging; not of escaping, but staying put and staying faithful to the troubled earthly reality in which we are enmeshed and bound.”
