\n NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 A Yale philosopher identifies the ten pillars of fascist politics, and charts their horrifying rise and deep history. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith unsettling insight and disturbing clarity, How Fascism Works is an essential guidebook to our current national dilemma of democracy vs. authoritarianism.\u201d\u2014Jelani Cobb, New Yorker staff writer<\/p>\n

\u201cNo single book is as relevant to the present moment.\u201d\u2014Claudia Rankine, author of Citizen <\/p>\n

As the child of refugees of World War II Europe and a renowned philosopher and scholar of propaganda, Jason Stanley has a deep understanding of how democratic societies can be vulnerable to fascism: Nations don\u2019t have to be fascist to suffer from fascist politics. In fact, fascism\u2019s roots have been present in the United States long before Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Alarmed by the pervasive rise of fascist tactics both at home and around the globe, Stanley focuses here on the structures that unite them, laying out and analyzing the ten pillars of fascist politics\u2014the language and beliefs that separate people into an \u201cus\u201d and a \u201cthem.\u201d He knits together reflections on history, philosophy, sociology, and critical race theory with stories from contemporary Hungary, Poland, India, Myanmar, and the United States, among other nations. He makes clear the immense danger of underestimating the cumulative power of these tactics, which include <\/p>\n

\u2022 exploiting a mythic version of a nation\u2019s past
\u2022 propaganda that twists the language of democratic ideals against themselves
\u2022 anti-intellectualism directed against universities and experts
\u2022 law and order politics predicated on the assumption that members of minority groups are criminals
\u2022 fierce attacks on labor groups and welfare<\/p>\n

These mechanisms all build on one another, creating and reinforcing divisions and shaping a society vulnerable to the appeals of authoritarian leadership.<\/p>\n

By uncovering disturbing patterns that are as prevalent today as ever, Stanley reveals that the stuff of politics\u2014charged by rhetoric and myth\u2014can quickly become policy and reality. Only by recognizing fascists politics, he argues, may we resist its most harmful effects and return to democratic ideals.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the defining books of the decade.\u201d\u2014Elizabeth Hinton, author of From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime
