| Summary: | Drawing from his extensive reporting on right-wing groups, David Neiwert argues that the conservative movements alliances with far-right extremists have not only pushed the movements agenda to the right, but have become a malignant influence that's increasingly reflected in political discourse. The result is a pathology Neiwert calls pseudo-fascisma a political style that talks and acts like fascism without its core violence and thuggishness. The author argues that the only effective response is a rhetoric of peace the kind of peace that stands up for human values, civil discourse, and basic decency. |
