What does Fascism mean at the beginning of the twenty-first
century? When we pronounce this word, our memory goes back to the
years between the two world wars and envisions a dark landscape of
violence, dictatorships, and genocide. These images spontaneously
surface in the face of the rise of radical right, racism,
xenophobia, islamophobia and terrorism, the last of which is often
depicted as a form of "Islamic fascism." Beyond some superficial
analogies, however, all these contemporary tendencies reveal many
differences from historical fascism, probably greater than their
affinities. Paradoxically, the fear of terrorism nourishes the
populist and racist rights, with Marine Le Pen in France or Donald
Trump in the US claiming to be the most effective ramparts against
"Jihadist fascism". But since fascism was a product of imperialism,
can we define as fascist a terrorist movement whose main target is
Western domination? Disentangling these contradictory threads, Enzo
Traverso's historical gaze helps to decipher the enigmas of the
present. He suggests the concept of post-fascism-a hybrid
phenomenon, neither the reproduction of old fascism nor something
completely different-to define a set of heterogeneous and
transitional movements, suspended between an accomplished past
still haunting our memories and an unknown future.
