Rooted in an understanding of how the fascist body is constructed,
we can develop the collective power to dismember it. Fascist and
reactionary populist forces have undeniably swelled in the US in
recent years. To effectively counter fascist movements, we need to
understand them beyond their most visible and public expressions.
To do this, Jack Bratich asserts, we must dig deeper into the
psyche and body that gives rise to fascist formations. There we
will find microfascism, or the cultural ways in which a fascist
understanding of the world is generated from the hatreds that
suffuse everyday life. By highlighting the misogyny at fascism's
core, we are able to observe a key process in the formation of a
fascist body. Recognizing the microfascism behind appeals to
recover the past glory of white male subjects created by earlier
foundational wars, we see how histories of settler colonialism,
genocide, and domination are animating the deadly mission of
fascism today. By focusing on the variety of ways the resurgent
fascist tendency courts its own destruction (and demands the
destruction of others), we can trace how fascism refines and
expands the death and annihilation that underpins capitalist,
colonial, and patriarchal systems. On Microfascism are far-reaching
and unsettling. Still, Bratich insists, the new fascism is not as
powerful as its adherents wish us to believe. To defeat it, we must
develop and defend a "micro-antifascism" grounded in the ethics of
mutual aid and care in the everyday. Rooted in an understanding of
how the fascist body is constructed, we can develop the collective
power to dismember it.
