Is there a fascist left? Nicholas Potter’s book “The New Authoritarian Left” – Culture

To be amazed at the madness that is currently going on in parts of the more radical left, you only have to take a look at a typical rally from this scene. Six months ago, a few hundred activists demonstrated in Berlin on the second anniversary of the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023. Not to show compassion for the people in Gaza suffering from the war or the murdered Israelis, but to honor the Islamist mass murderers. The demonstration call celebrated the rapes, the kidnapping of hostages, and the murder of 1,200 children, women and men on October 7th with resounding pathos as a “heroic escape from prison.” For the Berlin demonstrators, the largest massacre of Jews since 1945 was a “beacon of revolutionary hope for all anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist struggles around the world.”
