Has fascism arrived dressed in stars and stripes? This book offers a sharp analysis of American authoritarianism, how we got here, how to organize, and how to resist.
"Gangster capitalism," that's how Henry Giroux describes the system where a billionaire class controls the institutions that shape our livesthe media, corporations, universities, courts, and government. But does this centralization of power on behalf of the super-rich mean that fascism has taken over the United States? Certainly, the signs are there: Individuals not charged with a crime are picked up on the street by masked police and "disappeared." Right-wing strongmen like Javier Milei of Argentina or Nayib Bukele of El Salvador are embraced warmly on the steps of the White House. The aptly titled Trump v. United States Supreme Court ruling just handed the president broad immunity for official acts. And Elon Musk, the president's unelected scourge of government inefficiency, gave repeated fascist-style salutes at Trump's inauguration rally. His DOGE have fired tens of thousands of people, and illegally seized private personal data on millions of Americans.
So is this fascism, oligarchy, authoritarianismor all of the above? Is there a special brand of American fascism? And, if so, what direction is it likely to take, and how can it best be resisted? In From the Flag to the Cross: Fascism American Style, seven prominent American socialists explore these questions. They come at the issues from different angles in an enlightening spectrum of opinion. But on one point, they are in unison: Trump is not the disease. He's the symptom. The real threat is a violent, deeply embedded systemfueled by capitalism, white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and authoritarian rulethat long predates the 47th president.
Contributors: Chris Hedges, Richard Wolff, Dianne Feeley, Henry Giroux, Bill Mullen, Margaret Kimberley, and Kshama Sawant.
