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

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.

Inside Manfred Weber’s paper wars that are dividing Europe’s centre right  - Euractiv Patience is wearing thin in Europe’s most powerful political family over its president‘s attempts to remote control national leaders at EU summits.

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

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.

Un manifesto per la difesa della democrazia (di A. Mammone) La democrazia è in crisi. Ecco perché io stesso, dopo aver studiato per molti anni questi fenomeni, sono stato, con altre colleghe e colleghi di tutto il mondo…

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...

Bravi!

Bravi!

We are Nobel laureates, scientists, writers and artists. The threat of fascism is back | Open letter As in 1925, when Mussolini was in power, we must openly defy the brutal imposition of the fascist ideology

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

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

This was and is the closest thing to FASCISM. But fascism to be successful needs some form of support from centrist - liberal elites

You are fully right. This is called FASCISM

Che schifo

Fascism

Once I stopped a talk and challenged him in front of students because he was ridiculously twisting role of the Italian left in postwar democracy. They are anti-left, so everyone else seems fine. But I was surprised to hear a guy telling me "well done, people do not usually challenge him". Pathetic

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

Follia pura

This is the face of contemporary fascism

Preserving the culture by keeping Spritz at 4 euros, but Stalingrad is a bit too much 🙃

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

La crisi dei Tories era prevedibile. Su Reform pesa anche la piena legittimazione dei media e la normalizzazione delle politiche anti-immigrazione del Labour

Is she a fan of history? While I was growing up in southern Italy, and well before becoming a historian,
I was a huge fan of Jordan.
I wonder if I can then be considered a NBA player or run the league

Mine?

Bravissima!

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.
