'For its historical depth analytical vigour and mobilizational potential this book is
unparalleled ... every page is an urgent invitation to resist' David Lammy MP 'History is a
reminder that we are never far from the risk of living under fascism. Mason tells that history
with passion and sincerity framing it perfectly against the present' Angela Saini author of
Superior: The Return of Race Science The bestselling author of PostCapitalism offers a guide to
resisting the far right The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to
Bolsonaro's Brazil and Erdogan's Turkey fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past
it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight
it. In How to Stop Fascism Paul Mason offers a radical hopeful blueprint for resisting and
defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism and
a compelling history of the fascist phenomenon: its psychological roots political theories and
genocidal logic. Fascism Mason powerfully argues is a symptom of capitalist failure one that
has haunted us throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. History shows us the
conditions that breed fascism and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us in
the present to challenge it and time is running out. From the ashes of Covid-19 we have an
opportunity to create a fairer more equal society. To do so we must ask ourselves: what kind
of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?
