The murders were not random. They expressed a particular ideology, one that the alleged perpetrator described as 'fascism'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut what does fascism mean today - and what kind of threat does it pose? Jeff Sparrow traces the history of the far right, showing how fascists have adapted to the new politics of the twenty-first century. He argues that the mosque killer represents a frightening new phenomenon - decentralised right-wing terrorism that recruits by committing atrocities, feeding on itself and spreading from country to country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBurgeoning in dark places online, contemporary fascism exults in violence and picks its targets strategically. Today, it is Muslims; tomorrow, it will be Jews or gays or Asians. Even the widespread despair generated by climate change is being harvested to weaponise young men with the politics of hate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith imitative massacres already occurring around the world, Christchurch must be a wake-up call. This book makes a compelling, urgent case for a new response to an old menace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeff Sparrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43173496258803,"sku":"9781925849677","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781925849677.jpg?v=1662058018","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/fascists-among-us-jeff-sparrow-9781925849677","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
