After the vote - Entering a zone of turbulence

The day after the legislative elections, what fascism are we talking about, and how can it be identified through a concrete analysis of our era?

Dominique Pagani starts from the opening image, Gaza below and the "Olympus" of Western leaders above, and the informal dinners bringing together Macronie and the Rassemblement national after the vote. He responds to two comments on his previous session: he reassures a PCF member who says he feels lost, and repeats against another comment that his only constant is "never again." He then returns to his distinction between two fascisms: the local fascism of traditional far right and the global fascism of Atlanticist imperialism, tracing its Anglo-Saxon roots. He then reads the text "Clarification" published on the blog Le gros rouge qui tache and an excerpt from Clouscard from 1976 announcing the merger of the two fascisms. He concludes that a concrete analysis of the concrete situation is needed, opposing exploiters and exploited instead of false divides. Questions from the audience lead him to discuss the relation between race and class, sovereignty, Russia and the contrast between China and the West.
