We can no longer ignore the fact that fascism is on the rise in the United States. Rebranding itself as "alt-right" and riding the waves of both Donald Trump's hate-fueled populism and the anxiety of an abandoned working class, they have created a social force that has the ability to win elections and inspire racist street violence in equal measure.Fascism Today looks at the changing world of the far right in Donald Trump's America. From the tech-savvy trolls of the alt-right to esoteric Aryan mystics, from full-fledged Nazis to well-groomed neofascists like Richard Spencer, he shows how these racists and authoritarians have reinvented themselves in order to recruit new members and grow.Just as importantly, Fascism Today shows how they can be fought and beaten. Burley breaks it all down. Examining the modern fascist movement's various strains, Shane Burley has written an accessible primer about what its adherents believe, how they organize, and what future they have in the United States. It highlights groups that have successfully opposed these twisted forces and outlines the elements needed to build powerful mass movements to confront the institutionalization of fascist ideas, protect marginalized communities, and ultimately stop the fascist threat.Shane Burley is a writer, filmmaker, and antifascist based in Portland, Oregon.. The ascension of Trump has introduced a whole new vocabulary into our political lexicon&mda
