redir.folha.com.br (Portuguese)

Philosopher Vladimir Safatle argues contemporary authoritarian populism is not a metaphor for fascism but fascism itself. His new book, "A Ameaça Interna," links global fascism to neoliberalism's individualism and competition, preferring the term "restricted fascisms" for these regimes. Safatle also notes Brazil's historical fascist party and critiques explanations of authoritarianism solely as historical regression or social resentment.
