Jason Stanley

Ebreo americano, figlio di rifugiati europei scampati alla Seconda guerra mondiale, Jason Stanley parte da uno spunto autobiografico per porsi una domanda cruciale: perché la logica del «Noi contro Loro», alla base di tutti gli autoritarismi, è diventata non soltanto il segno distintivo della politica dei fascismi europei degli anni Trenta, ma anche un concetto così seducente nelle democrazie liberali in ogni parte del mondo? Pensare agli Stati Uniti di Donald Trump è immediato, ma non è l'unico caso. Stanley, conscio del rischio delle generalizzazioni, ma convinto che il tempo in cui viviamo le renda necessarie, sceglie l'etichetta «fascismo» per identificare le diverse forme di ultranazionalismo, incarnate in un leader autoritario, diffuse in varie parti del pianeta, e ne identifica i tratti distintivi, ricorrenti, dalla strumentalizzazione di un passato mitico all'uso spregiudicato della propaganda, dalla criminalizzazione delle minoranze al culto del patriarcato e della virilità..
