Global Fascism is Rising and Humanity Must Act Now to Save Itself
In today’s world, it is becoming increasingly clear that global fascism is on the rise. From the rise of authoritarian leaders to the spread of hate and division, it seems that humanity is speedrunning towards a catastrophic collapse. But in his new book, “What’s Left,” author Malcolm Harris offers a glimmer of hope and a call to action for all of us to take a stand against this dangerous trend.
Harris, a journalist and social critic, delves into the root causes of this rise in global fascism and explains why we cannot simply accept this outcome. He argues that it is our responsibility as individuals and as a society to actively resist and fight against this dangerous ideology. And he offers three practical paths for us to do just that.
The first path Harris outlines is the need for a collective awakening. We must recognize that global fascism is not just a problem in far-off countries, but it is a threat that is present in our own communities. We must open our eyes to the signs of fascism and actively work to dismantle it. This means educating ourselves and others about the dangers of this ideology and standing up against hate and discrimination in all its forms.
The second path is through collective action. Harris emphasizes the importance of coming together as a society to fight against fascism. This can take many forms, from peaceful protests to grassroots movements. We must use our voices and our actions to show that we will not stand for the spread of hate and division. As Harris writes, “We must build a society that is inclusive, just, and equitable for all, and actively work towards dismantling systems of oppression.”
The third and final path is through collective care. In the face of rising fascism, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless. But Harris reminds us that we must take care of ourselves and each other in order to continue the fight. This means practicing self-care, supporting and uplifting marginalized communities, and creating spaces of love and solidarity. As Harris writes, “We must remember that we are not alone in this fight and that together, we are stronger.”
It is clear that the rise of global fascism is a threat to humanity and our planet. But as Harris argues, we cannot simply sit back and watch it happen. We must take action now to save ourselves and our future. We must reject the dangerous rhetoric of hate and division and instead, come together to build a better world.
Harris’ book serves as a wake-up call for all of us. It is a reminder that we have the power to shape our future and that we must use that power for good. We cannot afford to be complacent or apathetic in the face of rising fascism. We must act now, before it’s too late.
In conclusion, “What’s Left” is a powerful and timely book that sheds light on the dangerous rise of global fascism and offers practical solutions for us to fight against it. It is a call to action for all of us to come together, awaken to the threat, and take action to create a better world for ourselves and future generations. As Harris writes, “We must not accept this outcome. We must fight for what’s left.” Let us heed his words and work towards a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
