Backlash. The Global Rise of the Radical Right

In today's world, we are witnessing a counterrevolution. Across the globe, liberal elites are employing authoritarian tactics to frame minority groups as political adversaries. This strategy aims to solidify their dominance and amass additional resources. The act of scapegoating is not a new phenomenon, yet the current execution is unprecedented. Today's global capitalism is deeply entwined with finance, technology, and aggressive mercantilism. A compilation of essays by esteemed scholars delves into the emergence of radical right-wing factions, neo-nationalism, authoritarian neoliberalism, illiberalism, and democratic regression. These writings transcend oversimplified media narratives, uncovering profound systemic transformations that have been evolving over decades. Examining nations like India, Eastern Europe, the United States, Argentina, and Germany, "Backlash" highlights the interconnectedness of these ostensibly nationalist movements. This work provides vital insights for left-wing activists and thinkers as they seek vulnerabilities in the alarming ascendancy of right-wing ideologies.
