"This is, in many ways, the dynamic that defines reactionary centrism: the right must be understood, but never blamed. The left can be blamed, but need not be understood."

Very, very good piece, highly recommended. This is the dominant ideological tendency in the US elite today and it is *toxic*.

Toby Buckle @polphilpod.bsky.social · Sep 4

we need a label for UK politicians who endlessly "empathise" with fascist concerns - let's try a US one

my latest with @prospectmagazine.co.uk

What is a reactionary centrist, and does the UK have them?

A term favoured by US progressives can help us understand Britain’s drift to the right

“At a moment in which democracy is backsliding in places as varied as Hungary, India, Turkey, and the United States, it is a reminder that democracy often erodes slowly at first, via the gradual surrender of those entrusted to defend it.” By Daniel Ziblatt

🚨 New report by Le Monde on Spain’s far-right media ecosystem:

“En Espagne, une constellation poreuse d’influenceurs-journalistes au service de l’extrême droite”

From Parliament to social media, Spain is a testing ground for influencers spreading far-right narratives as news.

8/ And on a more personal note, it’s a joy to embark on this journey alongside colleagues who are, above all, great friends.

Looking forward to sharing more as the work unfolds¡

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Aug 1

7/ It’s a project I’m especially excited about: it brings together shared research, collective reflection, and a chance to rethink Francoism’s place in 20th-century global history.

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Aug 1

6/ 🔗 Our project forms part of the coordinated project
“Compared Post-War Regimes II: The Spanish Dictatorships in the Transnational Context of Counterrevolution and Anti-Communism in the 20th Century,” led by @maxifuentescodera.bsky.social (‪‪@univgirona.bsky.social‬)

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Aug 1

5/ 🧑‍💼 I have the privilege of co-leading this project with my long-time mentor, Miguel Ángel Ruiz Carnicer, as part of a wide team of historians from several European and Latin American universities.

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Aug 1

4/ We’ll examine its ideological, diplomatic, and organisational influence — and how it integrated into broader transnational spaces shaped by anti-communism, counterrevolution, and critiques of liberal democracy.

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Aug 1

3/ Over the next four years, an interdisciplinary and international team will explore how Francoism became a reference point for conservative and authoritarian networks across Europe and the Americas during the Cold War.

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Aug 1

2/ 🎯 The project, funded through the 2024 Generación Conocimiento call (PID2024-155891NB-C22), is titled:

“Transnational Francoism: Francoism as a model for authoritarian and anti-communist political organisations and movements during the Cold War, 1945–1975.”

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Aug 1

1/ A few days ago, I was thrilled to share that I’ll be leading a new research project funded by Spain’s National Research Plan. Today, I’d like to tell you more about the collective work we’re about to begin 🧵

Es de una tristeza inenarrable que, para buena parte de la izquierda, "estudiar" sea clasista. Estudiar ha supuesto una de las pocas herramientas que la gente humilde hemos tenido para confrontar a unas élites depredadoras; ha sido el sueño de madres, padres y abuelos que querían

Huge thanks, @pablo1981.bsky.social! The feeling is absolutely mutual. It's been a real privilege to work together on this project. Few collaborations are as fluid and rewarding. Very proud of what we’ve put together. Looking forward to the next projects to come!

30/ We call for comparative approaches that connect different national cases and periods, rather than treating fascist afterlives as isolated phenomena.
Only this way can we fully understand their impact on contemporary politics.

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Jul 18

29/ The concept of generation allows us to see how memories, symbols and narratives were transmitted, contested or reinvented across decades.
It highlights both continuities and critical breaks in fascist legacies.

Carlos Domper Lasús @carlosdomper.bsky.social · Jul 18

28/ We argue that fascism did not end definitively in 1945.
Many militants reimagined their ideology and adapted it to new contexts, while younger generations inherited myths and resentments that shaped neofascist projects.
