Meloni's party is paradoxically claiming that she contributed to the peace agreement in Gaza, while the Left contributed to riots in the demonstrations for peace

After decades studying the far right, I can tell Trumpism is a new fascism. Similar old traits: sense of national decline & crisis, calls for national regeneration, fabricating enemies, scapegoting,
cult of leader, use of violence, (para)military force, demagogic propaganda.

Manfred Weber has been contributing to Europe's far-right turn for years and the EPP is a major vector in legitimising estremism.

Italy 2025, many decades after the fall of the fascist dictatorship. The far-right government would like to ban history texts (for schools) rightly considering Meloni's party as "ultra right" and with a nostalgic approach on fascism. This is also done to scare publishers.

Ho scritto, a partire dalla lettera aperta di qualche giorno fa, sulla democrazia: che in molti danno per scontata o finanche "superabile", ma senza rendersi conto dei tempi bui che ci aspettano www.huffingtonpost.it/blog/2025/06...

Un manifesto per la difesa della democrazia (di A. Mammone)

La democrazia è in crisi. Ecco perché io stesso, dopo aver studiato per molti anni questi fenomeni, sono stato, con altre colleghe e colleghi di tutto il mondo…

I co-signed the open letter against fascist-type authoritarianisn published by The Guardian and many other media outlets across the globe. @theguardian.com

We are Nobel laureates, scientists, writers and artists. The threat of fascism is back | Open letter

As in 1925, when Mussolini was in power, we must openly defy the brutal imposition of the fascist ideology

My view on "trumpism in L.A.": racism, fabricating enemies & panic (raids, insurrection), rejecting basic rules, violence, militarisation, Mussolini-type propaganda, repressing dissent, silencing media, threatening political opponents = this is contemporary fascism possibly leading to dictatorship

This was and is the closest thing to FASCISM. But fascism to be successful needs some form of support from centrist - liberal elites

Andrea Mammone @andreamammone.bsky.social · Jun 7

You are fully right. This is called FASCISM

Once I stopped a talk and challenged him in front of students because he was ridiculously twisting role of the Italian left in postwar democracy. They are anti-left, so everyone else seems fine. But I was surprised to hear a guy telling me "well done, people do not usually challenge him". Pathetic

Far-right Meloni says "Freedom, democracy, and the centrality of the human being" are common values between the EU and USA. REALLY? Are you talking about Trump's far-right America? Threats? Deportations? No respect of legislations?

La crisi dei Tories era prevedibile. Su Reform pesa anche la piena legittimazione dei media e la normalizzazione delle politiche anti-immigrazione del Labour

Is she a fan of history? While I was growing up in southern Italy, and well before becoming a historian,
I was a huge fan of Jordan.
I wonder if I can then be considered a NBA player or run the league
