"Drawing on almost three decades of research on the histories of fascism and populism around the world, Federico Finchelstein lays out the 'four pillars of fascism:' xenophobia, propaganda, political violence, and ultimately dictatorship. This book explains how and why wannabe fascists like Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro, and Narendra Modi embrace the first three pillars but don't quite succeed in dictatorship and total suppression of the popular vote. Finchelstein stresses the importance of preventing despots from reaching this tipping point and offers a clear warning for what's at stake"--Publisher.
