Is the U.S. a fascist society? Is it justified to punch nazis? How do we fight white supremacy in the North American context of settler-colonialism, capitalism and imperialism? Can we draw inspiration from the indigenous and black radical traditions, along with radical philosophy and existentialism, into our analysis of fascism?
Devin Z Shaw, author of Philosophy of Antifascism: Punching Nazis and Fighting White Supremacy, joins the show to discuss these ideas.
