2019. This paper discusses the rise of fascist mass movements today in relation to planetary meltdown. It was presented at “The Contemporary State and Its New Agents of Violence,” a panel discussion at State of Concept, Athens, co-organized with Antifascist Culture, on September 28, 2019, in the context of the exhibition of Forensic Architecture “Violence, Fast and Slow.” The paper was presented jointly with a paper by theorist Angela Dimitrakaki, the two together engaging with how the fundamental premise of fascism advocating the existence of internal (Dimitrakaki) and external (Ray) enemies operates today, and how it contributes to the gradual normalization of fascist thought.
