Meloni's party is paradoxically claiming that she contributed to the peace agreement in Gaza, while the Left contributed to riots in the demonstrations for peace

I am giving a public lecture on "Transnational History and Right-wing Extremism: An Unfinished Journey" in Fribourg on 9 October events.unifr.ch/transnationa...

After decades studying the far right, I can tell Trumpism is a new fascism. Similar old traits: sense of national decline & crisis, calls for national regeneration, fabricating enemies, scapegoting, cult of leader, use of violence, (para)military force, demagogic propaganda.

Manfred Weber has been contributing to Europe's far-right turn for years and the EPP is a major vector in legitimising estremism. www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

Italy 2025, many decades after the fall of the fascist dictatorship. The far-right government would like to ban history texts (for schools) rightly considering Meloni's party as "ultra right" and with a nostalgic approach on fascism. This is also done to scare publishers.

Ho scritto, a partire dalla lettera aperta di qualche giorno fa, sulla democrazia: che in molti danno per scontata o finanche "superabile", ma senza rendersi conto dei tempi bui che ci aspettano www.huffingtonpost.it/blog/2025/06...

I co-signed the open letter against fascist-type authoritarianisn published by The Guardian and many other media outlets across the globe. @theguardian.com stopreturnfascism.org www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My view on "trumpism in L.A.": racism, fabricating enemies & panic (raids, insurrection), rejecting basic rules, violence, militarisation, Mussolini-type propaganda, repressing dissent, silencing media, threatening political opponents = this is contemporary fascism possibly leading to dictatorship

Far-right Meloni says "Freedom, democracy, and the centrality of the human being" are common values between the EU and USA. REALLY? Are you talking about Trump's far-right America? Threats? Deportations? No respect of legislations?

Shameless

I hope to read soon this book on the reality of the far right @hopenothate.org.uk @joemulhall.bsky.social

Hypocrisy

With the passing of Pope Francis we will miss a voice against racists and Christian nationalists, ultra-traditionalists and those in the far right hijaking religion. Aside of the hypocrisy which we will hear soon, many of them hatred him - he was not considered "their" Pope

Due grandi 🫶🏽

For those European "leftwingers" eyeing a Trump victory because Biden=Trump, Harris is worse, end of war in Ukraine, Gaza free - you were enabling neofascism, autocracy, xenophobia, neoimperialism. You are like such British "socialists" for Brexit. History taught you nothing.
