Description: The New Authoritarians by David Renton A bold thesis arguing that fascism is not the main enemy today - but a dangerous alliance of new political formations on the right Far-Right in Britain, the US and France.To understand why is the first step to stopping them. A terrifying issue that is being hotly debated across the world from a highly respected theorist of fascism. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description All across the world, right-wing politics is shifting, with conservative and hard-right proponents allying. From Donald Trump to Marine Le Pen, these figureheads agree on issues that would have been considered extreme to previous generations, causing many to label them as fascists.But is this too simplistic? If they are not fascists, what are their politics?In The New Authoritarians, David Renton approaches the problem from a new perspective. He identifies an emergent and deeply troubling form of right-wing radicalism, at once more moderate than classical fascism in its political strategy, yet indulgent of the racism of its most extreme components. In country after country, under the clouds of economic austerity and post-9/11 Islamophobia, the right is converging and strengthening. To understand why is the first step to stopping them.
