“The great strength of Ugo Palheta’s book is that he treats the new right not as a series of parties but as a single politics. The Brothers of Italy, Le Pen, Trump, Modi’s BJP and the Swedish Democrats agree on all essentials. In no case will liberal politics be enough to protect us from them. Against these new reactionaries, he summons a suitable antagonist – a new International of the Oppressed”.
David Renton, author of Fascism: History and Theory (Pluto Press, 2020)
