“Since 2015, when the global elite effectively split into nationalist versus globalist factions, the opportunity for fascism has returned. But it’s a new kind of fascism..a mixture of networked power..attacks on science, democracy..with plebeian despair.”-@paulmasonnews
“Fascism can be triggered without mass unemployment because its real stimulant is mass social disorientation. For this reason it is to be feared when it takes the form of what Varga observed in the Austrian alps—mass quasi-religious conversion of entire communities”@paulmasonnews
“Antifascist theory has got to be something we don’t outsource to academia. It can’t move fast enough, numerous professorial careers depend on theories of fascism that no longer hold good and we can’t co-own it and improve it in real time, as the struggle evolves.”-@paulmasonnews
“The risk of a second fascist era has changed from negligible to non-negligible. The very term antifascist has changed from being a badge of honour to a stigma…and the Telegram and Discord channels of the far right are full of genocidal ideation.”-@paulmasonnews
