The reemergence of fascism
The aim is to discuss the basic laws in which fascism emerges. These basic guidelines, if you will, are determinant in distinguishing regimes and movements from being authoritarian, totalitarian, and in this case, fascist. With this being said, given that every fascist regime in history emerged under different circumstances and for different reasons, I argue, for this reason, fascism cannot be defined by one universal definition—it can only be described by using such laws. When examining the twenty first century reemergence of the radical right, I will identify the Alt Right as a neo-fascist movement by applying Payne's Retrodictive Theory of Fascism, support each component of Payne's theory through the social; cultural; political and psychological findings through the Marxist lens, and apply my Polar Opposite theory to properly place and identify the Alt Right on the political sphere.
