Was ist Faschismus? Eine Bewegung? Ein gleichgeschaltetes Herrschaftssystem? Für Paul Mason ist Faschismus nicht zuletzt ein Gedankengebäude. In dessen Zentrum steht eine ethnisch definierte Mehrheit, die sich als Opfer emanzipatorischer Bestrebungen sieht und alles ablehnt, was sie in ihrem Widerstand dagegen einschränken könnte: liberale Demokratie, Medien, Wissenschaft. Blickt man durch diese Linse auf den Hindunationalismus eines Narendra Modi, auf den queerfeindlichen Kurs bestimmter osteuropäischer Regierungen oder die Lügen eines Donald Trump, sind Übereinstimmungen unverkennbar. Wie der Faschismus der Zwischenkriegszeit gedeihen diese Phänomene in einer Phase tiefgreifender Umbrüche. Doch wie kann man sie aufhalten? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, bringt Mason seine großen Begabungen zum Einsatz: historische Neugier und das Talent, Theorien griffig zusammenzufassen. Die Hoffnung, man müsse nur die Unwahrheiten der Autoritären aufdecken, ist aus seiner Sicht naiv. Stattdessen müssen Liberale und Linke gemeinsam eine positive Gegenvision entwickeln und mit ökonomischen Reformen das Leben aller Menschen verbessern.

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 The Truth Is Not Enough, Paul Mason offers a radical, hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right.
