Cultural critic Henry Giroux surveys the ascent of the neofascist style in American politics — from Trump’s position amidst the ruin of democratic institutions and social order, to the elevation of White supremacy and unchecked corporatism – and calls for the left to resist authoritarianism and reclaim solidarity and democracy’s radical potential.
Henry is author of the essay “Militant Hope in the Age of the Politics of the Disconnect” for Counterpunch and War Culture, Militarism and Racist Violence Under Trump for Truthout.
Media that fights fascism
Truthout is funded almost entirely by readers — that’s why we can speak truth to power and cut against the mainstream narrative. But independent journalists at Truthout face mounting political repression under Trump.
We rely on your support to survive McCarthyist censorship. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation.
