A Wretched Hive: How the United States Incubates Diasporic Fascism

3WF

From Iranian monarchists to reactionary Cuban exiles, from Hindu nationalists to members of the racist, homophobic Falun Gong cult, the United States fosters far-right political currents based in a range of diasporic communities. Rooted largely in reactionary ideologies brought by immigrants from economically and socially privileged backgrounds, diasporic fascism embodies loyalty to the decaying U.S. empire, collaboration with white American far rightists, and often precarious relationships with the U.S. racial hierarchy.

Notes on Trump/MAGA 2024

Matthew N Lyons

5 comments

Even more than in the past, Trump and the MAGA movement have brought key elements of fascist politics into the Republican Party, and a second Trump presidency is likely to be significantly more authoritarian than the first one.

Chaos or Revolution? It Depends on Us

The institutional far right is strong, while the far left is weak and disorganized. To develop the capacity to meaningfully intervene in the current crisis, far leftists need to engage with oppressed communities and work together with liberals in a united front.

Who’s Afraid of Luigi Mangione? A Response to Alexander Reid Ross

3WF

2 comments

Luigi Mangione’s recent alleged killing of an insurance CEO touched a wedge issue that cuts across class and across the political spectrum—the massive corruption of the health insurance industry—and created an opening for the left. A recent article by ex-leftist Alexander Reid Ross, which dismisses Mangione as expressing an American proclivity for violence, represents a counterinsurgency action in defense of the state.

Confronting Multiple Forms of Power: Siyavash Shahabi Against U.S. Aggression and Iranian State Repression

In his writings about Iran and international solidarity, Iranian leftist refugee Shahabi argues that radicals in the U.S. need to oppose the U.S./Israeli war on Iran AND speak out against Iranian state repression. He also suggests that campism reflects a colonialist worldview, in which non-western societies are understood mainly through their relationship with the West, rather than as full-fledged societies with their own contradictions.

Not Just an Incel Attack

The manifesto of the June 22nd Montréal incel shooter has been widely dismissed as “salad-bar extremism,” a confused hodgepodge that is “neither left nor right.” It’s actually a carefully constructed fascist manifesto that addresses all the key far-right tropes, but replaces the ethnonationalism usually at the center of fascist ideology with a vicious misogyny.
