Who can be a fascist? Let’s look to Mussolini’s Italy, then let’s look to Israel
Who can be a fascist? Or a better question is: is any group of people inoculated against fascism, who can’t “catch” or succumb to it? Like Jews, perhaps? As the child of a survivor of Auschwitz, I am especially interested in this question. And my answer has always been the same: Suffering under fascism in no way immunizes any group against falling for it.
The warnings of fascism in the United States are becoming louder. Politicians, journalists and, recently, renowned academics are sounding the alarm. However, historian Bruno De Wever (UGent) and professor of American politics Bart Kerremans (KU Leuven) believe that the use of the term ‘fascism’ is premature. “Fascism is not (yet) present, but vigilance is necessary,” they say in ‘De wereld van Sofie’ on Radio 1.
