Beyond the Fascist Curtain: Fascism through a Postmodern Lenses - Paperback

by Anthony David Vernon (Author)

Beyond the Fascist Curtain is an essay collection which loosely explores the ideological battleground between social democracy and fascism. Through incisive analysis and sharp critique, Anthony David Vernon dissects the mechanisms of fascism including its abuse of postmodernism, its nationalist fervor, and its reliance on distortion and violence all the while championing social democracy as a reformist alternative. With essays on topics ranging from Candace Owens' reactionary rhetoric to the role of hip-hop in anti-fascist resistance, Vernon argues that social democracy, rooted in incremental progress and pluralism, offers a path forward against fascism. This essay collection is meant to assist readers in gaining an understanding on both the nature of social democracy and fascism. His previous work has been called "opens up new doors of thought in your brain" by Joshua Grant of Diabolic Shrimp. Gordon Long of Air Born Press said of Vernon's work "this author is breaking down barriers, not so he can put up new ones of his own, but just because breaking down barriers is a good thing. Opening closed minds."
