    The Looming Threat of Fascism - Part Two: The Beer Hall Putsch

    In the conclusion of my series on the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany in the 1920s, I make further legitimate comparisons to modern American politics and Trumpism. Continued insistence that there are no grounds for such comparisons at this point borders on denialism.

    The Looming Threat of Fascism - Part One: The March on Rome

    In a new series on the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany in the 1920s, I make pertinent comparisons to modern American politics and Trumpism. It's time to call MAGA out for what it is without any further hedging. Likenesses can no longer be ignored.
