So, Is It Fascism?

Few political labels are as charged as “fascism,” a term often used as an insult rather than an analytic category. But recent developments under the Trump administration have prompted a growing number of scholars and commentators to revisit the term and what it actually means, and to argue that it may be a fitting label for what’s happening in American politics today. In this episode, Archon Fung and Stephen Richer are joined by journalist Jonathan Rauch to discuss his recent essay, “Yes, It’s Fascism,” in which he details why he ultimately concluded that the label fits Trump’s governing style. They discuss what changed Rauch’s thinking, what distinguishes fascism from other forms of authoritarianism, and what’s at stake for democracy.
