“Federico Finchelstein, who is one of the world’s leading experts on both fascism and populism, is essential reading for the times in which we live.”
"A lucid examination of how fascism does not just embrace lies, but integrates them into a distinctive, irrational structure of ‘truth’ that serves its political ends. Finchelstein’s key arguments are immensely valuable to our understanding of contemporary politics."
“Finchelstein leaves us with the importance of understanding mythic nationalist ideologies, and not simply the behavior of leaders who mobilize myths.”
“Neatly summarizes. . . a principal goal of fascism is ‘to leave reason behind and return to prejudice.’”
