Democracy Now! "We Live in a Fascist Dictatorship": Elie Mystal on Trump's Lawlessness, Attacks on the Judiciary

May 19, 2025 | Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement Tuesday criticizing attacks by President Trump and his allies on federal judges. "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision," he said. Roberts's statement came after Trump called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ordered the Trump administration to stop using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants. On Saturday, the administration ignored Boasberg's order to turn around three deportation flights bound for El Salvador. We speak with The Nation's justice correspondent Elie Mystal on the Trump-led breakdown of constitutional order. "There's not a coming constitutional crisis," says Mystal. "We are in a constitutional crisis right now."

Roger Griffin | This House Believes Trump Is a 21st Century Fascist | Cambridge Union

Feb 16, 2025 | Roger Griffin speaks as the second opposition for the motion in the Debating Chamber on Thursday 6th February 2025.

As the United States grapples with the radical uncertainty of a second Trump administration, the time is ripe for a thorough evaluation of what his second presidency will mean, and of the conduct of the 2024 campaign. The campaign itself was dominated in its closing argument by this label, especially in an article backed by quotes from John Milley, but also led to fears of minimisation of fascism and political polarisation. This debate will discuss whether the label of 21st-century fascist is fitting to Trump or too extreme.

Why Fascism Is on the Rise Right Now

Feb 16, 2025 | As Donald Trump plays dictator in the US, leaders across Europe are applying their own versions of MAGA at home. Owen Jones sits down with Mehdi Hasan in this episode of ‘Two Outspoken’ to break down the far right’s global rise — from Elon Musk’s DOGE “coup” to the failures of Keir Starmer’s Labour government in the UK.

“It is a complete coup because these people [DOGE] are not elected,” Mehdi says. “They now have control of data. They have control of money… He's [Musk] just sitting on Twitter, just unilaterally chatting to his rightwing fans going ‘What should I cancel next? What should I stop payments to?’ Sorry, who the f*** are you?”

5 Ways to Stop Fascism with Paul Mason

Nov 3, 2021 | Journalist and author Paul Mason breaks down 5 ways we can stop fascism and resist the rise of the far right.

The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to Bolsonaro's Brazil and Erdogan's Turkey, fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past; it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight it.

In How to Stop Fascism, Paul Mason offers a radical, hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism, and a compelling history of the fascist phenomenon: its psychological roots, political theories and genocidal logic. Fascism, Mason powerfully argues, is a symptom of capitalist failure, one that has haunted us throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.

History shows us the conditions that breed fascism, and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us in the present to challenge it, and time is running out. From the ashes of Covid-19, we have an opportunity to create a fairer, more equal society. To do so, we must ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?

"Frenzy of Warmongering": Critics of Munich Security Summit Warn of Musk, Rising Fascism in Europe

Feb 14, 2025 | As the annual high-level Munich Security Conference gets underway, the Russia-Ukraine war is dominating the agenda, and we speak to two guests protesting the conference. Economist, progressive leader and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis says the European project started with a noble goal of promoting peace but finds itself today "cornered" between Russian and NATO militarism. "Europe has been caught in a frenzy of warmongering," says Varoufakis.

We also speak with German lawyer Melanie Schweizer, who was suspended from her job at the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs after being doxxed in an article published in the German tabloid _Bild_, owned by media giant Axel Springer SE, for her pro-Palestinian online statements. She is running for German parliament with the progressive party MERA25 in this month's elections and warns the country's political establishment is increasingly adopting the rhetoric and policies of the far right. "We see fascism playing out in real time, and it's getting worse by the day," says Schweizer.
