In \u003ci\u003eHow Fascism Works\u003c\/i\u003e, he identifies ten pillars of fascist politics--an appeal to the mythic past, propaganda, anti-intellectualism, unreality, hierarchy, victimhood, law and order, sexual anxiety, favoring \"the heartland,\" and a dismantling of public goods and unions--that amount to an urgent diagnosis of the tactics right-wing politicians use to break down democracies and a critical lens on the current moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStanley knits together reflections on history, philosophy, sociology, and critical race theory with stories from contemporary Hungary, Poland, India, Myanmar, and the United States, among other nations, making clear the immense dangers of language and beliefs that separate people into an \"us\" and a \"them.\" By uncovering disturbing patterns that are as prevalent today as ever, Stanley reveals that the stuff of politics--rhetoric and myth--can become policy and reality all too quickly. Only by recognizing them, he argues, can we begin to resist their most harmful effects and return to democratic ideals.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Stanley\u003c\/b\u003e is a philosopher, and the Bissell-Heyd-Associates Chair in American Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs \u0026amp; Public Policy at the University of Toronto.
