In late capitalism, the line between actual fascism and the increasing authoritarianism required to maintain the system has become increasingly difficult to locate. As the political centre collapses, the right continues to reinvent itself to pull that centre in its direction, creating oxygen for the far right and fascism. Those opposed to far-right hate now struggle with how to define where the line falls between the right of the electoral spectrum that does not yet target a complete destruction of democratic and progressive institutions, and the forces that do, which must be shut down at all costs. 

Some have called it “alt-right” some have called it “fascisation”.  From Trump to Poilievre, from Modi in India to Marine Le Pen in France: where does the line fall? Is it now a moving target? The answers have implications for how we organize.
