 In this episode, we explore the historical roots of fascism and four core traits: extreme nationalism, disregard for human rights, scapegoating, and military supremacy. Fascism is defined as a far-right ideology that elevates the nation above the individual, centralizes power, suppresses dissent, and often pursues expansionist policy. We examine early 20th-century Europe, including Italy and Germany to trace patterns leading to World War II.Laurence Britt’s “14 characteristics of fascism” are discussed as a framework for analysis. The first four traits are then applied to contemporary U.S. politics, including nationalism, executive power, immigration enforcement, civil liberties, and foreign policy. We also explore distinctions between patriotism and nationalism, and historical examples of resistance such as the Baltic “Singing Revolution,” Spain’s post-Franco transition, and Chile’s 1988 referendum ending Pinochet’s rule.Finally, we consider research on civic engagement and nonviolent movements, including the “3.5% rule,” alongside practical participation like voting, local involvement, and peaceful protest. The episode concludes by reflecting on citizens’ responsibilities when democratic norms are challenged.Sourceshttps://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/fascism-1https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/spanish-civil-warhttps://theconversation.com/what-is-fascism-153947https://voxpopulisphere.com/2017/08/23/lawrence-britt-14-characteristics-of-fascism/https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/holocaust-museum-warning-signs-fascism/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Nationalism-vs-Patriotism-Whats-the-Differencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ92vwYOVeAhttps://time.com/7335069/spain-franco-fascism-death-anniversary/https://www.fpri.org/article/2016/10/singing-revolution-past-present/https://www.carnegiecouncil.org/media/series/68/democratic-development-and-reckoning-with-the-past-the-case-of-spain-in-comparative-context-2https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/civil-disobedience/https://www.britannica.com/topic/civil-disobediencehttps://www.britannica.com/topic/satyagraha-philosophyhttps://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights#overviewhttps://fairvote.org/press/house-elections-broken-release-2025/https://www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/2024-05/Erica%20Chenoweth_2020-005.pdfhttps://whyy.org/articles/trump-administration-deportation-error-abrego-garcia/https://www.npr.org/2025/10/24/nx-s1-5585181/congress-is-investigating-cases-of-u-s-citizens-detained-in-immigration-raidshttps://abcnews.go.com/US/ice-memo-allows-agents-enter-homes-judicial-warrant/story?id=129436766https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/trump-strategy-document-revives-monroe-doctrine-slams-europe-2025-12-05/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/23/trump-expansionism-threatens-the-rules-based-order-in-place-since-second-world-warhttps://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-10-07/trump-says-migrants-whove-committed-murder-have-brought-a-lot-of-bad-genes-in-our-countryhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/22/renee-good-autopsy-ice-minneapolishttps://apnews.com/article/ice-shooting-minneapolis-minnesota-9aa822670b705c89906f2c699f1d16c5https://people.com/va-doctor-remembers-alex-pretti-37-year-old-icu-nurse-killed-by-ice-exclusive-11892030https://apnews.com/article/minneapolis-ice-alex-pretti-videos-861a0d8f3ee182f3b5909b3613900e2ehttps://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF11357
