The American Style of Fascism & How to Fight It w/ Eugene Puryear
Episode description
Trump’s return is not just a political comeback—it’s a warning. As the tendency towards fascism gains strength in the U.S., what does that mean for the world’s most powerful empire? And what kind of resistance can actually stop it?
On this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek is joined by Eugene Puryear to break down what rising fascism looks like in an American context, from the weaponization of ICE to the collapse of international law in Gaza, and why anti-imperialism must be at the heart of any movement that wants to fight back.
They explore the legacy of US empire, the limits of liberalism, and the dangers of accelerationist fantasies as Gaza burns and the global order unravels.
