A sharp analysis of the damage wrought by the reckless super-rich, and progressive toolkit for repairing it<\/p>\n
The more power the radical rightwing nationalists of our age accrue, the greater the risk that their destructive brand of politics becomes normalised. We should not, for instance, regard it as normal that the man in charge of the world\u2019s largest nuclear arsenal casually promises \u201ca whole civilisation will die tonight\u201d. We should not accept that history\u2019s first trillionaire is allowed to spread racist conspiracy theories to a hitherto unimaginable extent. We should be alarmed that, here in the UK, a party tipped to lead a potential future government is trying to cruise to power in the slipstream of this international movement.<\/p>\n
In fact, we shouldn\u2019t just be alarmed by such developments: we should stop them and urgently repair the damage already done. But how? And what is the nature of that damage? This bold, clarifying intervention from Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor provides some of the answers. \u201cEnd times fascism\u201d is their term for a convergence of interests that can broadly be understood as a response to the climate crisis. Faced with a world coming under unprecedented strain from environmental shocks and an unequal, resource-hungry economic system, today\u2019s reactionaries are effectively saying: bring it on.<\/p>\n
