Fascist regionalism is part of old Nazi policy in the Nordic/Scandinavian region. Quisling and other Nazi collaborators worked to increase cooperation in the region, but failed due to internal dissent.

Its great to see that the new special issue in @ggjournal.bsky.social called "Das gelebte Europa", edited Florian Greiner and @mathae.bsky.social‬, has been published this week! I was honoured to contribute an article on 'The Third Europe', Hans Keller, and forms of fascist Europeanisation

Did you know that the first international antifascist news bulletin was called "Chronik des Faschismus", published in Berlin - below the cover from the very first issue, August 1923. For the full background story, see: www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/2...

Yesterday, my article on Fascist Regionalism: Nordic Cooperation among Scandinavian Fascist Parties in the 1930s was published in the Scandinavian Journal of History. It examines cooperation between the Nasjonal Samling, the DNSAP and the NSAP, based on Nordic racism, anticommunism and antisemitism

Interesting insights from the conceptual historians KølvraaI and Ifversen about the return of the concept fascism in relation to Trumpism in an article published in @conhistcon.bsky.social. They analyze how fascism functions as an analytical category but also as a weaponized "Kampfbegriff".

Delighted to announce the program of our Global History Colloquium @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social, which I co-convene with Isabella Löhr and Sebastian Conrad this summer. All welcome.

An odd list of far-right invitees, which means ranges across all three far-right EP groups, but leans more ECR than Patriots. Would be interesting to know who (within Trump’s entourage) invited the individual far-right politicians.

Philanthropists funding Nazis? I wrote a research note on Hans Keller, the "parlor Nazi" founder of a Nationalist International, and his links to the Rockefeller Foundation, showing a surprising convergence between liberal and fascist internationalism in the 1930s rockfellows.hypotheses.org/3752

After a long pause, I have returned to my role as an MSNBC columnist with this new piece out today, sharing why it’s so disturbing to see Musk @ Vance explicitly or implicitly praising a German far right party, especially just weeks before the snap German elections: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
