How to Stop Fascism

History, Ideology, Resistance

By: Paul Mason

Narrated by: Paul Mason

Brought to you by Penguin.

The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to Bolsonaro's Brazil and Erdogan's Turkey, fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past; it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight it.

In How to Stop Fascism, Paul Mason offers a radical, hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism and a compelling history of the fascist phenomenon: its psychological roots, political theories and genocidal logic. Fascism, Mason powerfully argues, is a symptom of capitalist failure, and it has haunted us throughout the 20th century.

History shows us the conditions that breed fascism and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us in the present to challenge it, and time is running out. From the ashes of COVID-19, we have an opportunity to create a fairer, more equal society. To do so, we must ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?

Great guide book

Fantastic research and details. Staggering accuracy of predictions that were confirmed with time. Brilliant. Thank you!

More than just the title

A comprehensive dive into what fascism is, how it manifests, its history, its energy in the present moment, and how it can be stopped. Fairly dense and somewhat philosophical - a gem of a scholarly piece that’s fairly accessible to us concerned citizens.
