Un Detalle Siniestro En El USO de la Palabra Fascismo

by Santiago Gerchunoff

An accurate essay with a novel approach to the use and abuse of the word fascism today... This brief essay does not attempt to elucidate whether or not it is rigorous to use the word fascism in the 1920s. Nor does it analyze whether it is abused as an electoral strategy. Instead, it asks about the political emotion that moves those who use it to point out an adversary, and dissects, with a surprising and luminous argument, the sinister character hidden in contemporary readings of the past that resort to History as a prophecy and warning.
