The authors argue that the potential threat of a resurgence of
"fascism" has been consistently exaggerated from 1945 until present
day; that the ongoing lack of conceptual and definitional clarity
with respect to terms like "fascism," the "radical right," the "alt
right," "white supremacism," "populism," "racism," etc., has
enabled ill-informed or dishonest commentators to distort their
meaning and abusively misapply those labels so as to delegitimize
their political opponents-that the political and economic elites in
charge of contemporary Western societies are now deliberately
exaggerating and exploiting the threat posed by the domestic
radical right in order to facilitate vilifying, harassing,
de-platforming, censoring, "canceling," and repressing disgruntled
citizens (no matter where they may lie along the political
spectrum) who openly criticize and vigorously oppose their agendas.
They also advocate the use of well-established scholarly methods
for carrying out research on the right and provide precise
definitions of various terms in order to facilitate the development
of more accurate categorizations.
