Fascism

These small guides to (very) big ideas are an antidote to confusion and conspiracism, bringing clarity to the conversations we have about politics. Hitler's salute. Mussolini's glare. Symbols of fascism's past loom large in the popular imagination - so why is the word itself so hard to define? Unlike most major political ideologies, fascism has no clear-cut intellectual foundation. It is only by understanding fascism's beginnings that we can start to understand what it means today - and guard against those who seek its return.
