Jason Stanley - How Fascists Rewrite History to Control the Future | STM Podcast #220

On episode 220, we welcome Jason Stanley to discuss the rising tide of fascism among Republicans, the pivotal role education plays in cultivating it, the divided US and how winning came to override all other values, the authoritarian war on intellectualism, fascist historical revisionism and why the history written by fascists is based on fear and pride, the fascist tendency to target minority groups and the necessary creation of scapegoats, unionizing as an antidote to fascism, Putin’s rise to power, and the misguided attempts of populism to address corruption.

Jason Stanley is the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. He is the author of six books, including How Fascism Works and How Propaganda Works. Stanley is a member of the Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School and serves on the advisory board of the Prison Policy Initiative. He writes frequently about authoritarianism, democracy, propaganda, free speech, and mass incarceration for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Project Syndicate, and many other publications. His new book, available now, is called Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future.
