Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor reveal a chilling vision of the far right in their latest work, titled "End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World." The authors warn of a dangerous shift in political ideology that is linked to our current era of global crises, including pandemics, climate change, resource wars, and rogue technology.
This new form of fascism is characterized by an alliance of messianic venture capitalists, theocratic control of military forces, and other like-minded individuals. They believe that the end of the world is imminent and that only a select few deserve to survive.
Klein and Taylor delve deeper into this phenomenon in a new video, produced alongside filmmakers Emma Dessau, Austin Bedell, and P Nick Curran. The video features direct quotes from key figures involved in this dangerous movement, providing a unique perspective on the issue. The authors argue that it is crucial for the rest of us to recognize the severity of the situation and commit to protecting our shared home and each other.
"End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World" is set to be released on September 15th by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Klein, a Guardian US columnist and professor of climate justice, and Taylor, a writer, organizer, and documentary filmmaker, co-founded the Debt Collective.
