21/30 12 Rules For What - Post-Internet Far Right: Fascism In The Age Of The Internet

Interesting small book from the 12 Rules For What podcast. Actually a lot more readable than the bits they read out aloud on the show led me to believe. Explains the various currents of European/US fascism concisely and well. Some good bits on their limitations (for example the precarious relationship that online grifter "influencers" have with their "swarm" of fans). Quite useful for old farts who have their analysis of this stuff rooted in the 1980s and 1990s, I think. Makes some suggestions for what could be done at the end but wisely ends by saying that these things really need to be worked through by a movement. Good stuff on how climate change is going to fuck everything up and what this means for anti-fascists too - their next book is on eco-fascism.

Pretty weighty, the first half is very statistics heavy, the second part where he moves on from economic restructuring and starts looking at the potential political impact was easier to read (for me anyway) but perhaps less original/unique? Also you can really tell it came out in 2017, I appreciate that at the time everyone needed to have an analysis of the 2016 election but I don't think anyone needs to read any more of those now. Next up is Norman Cohn - The Pursuit of the Millennium, aka the book that everyone who reads that one Greil Marcus book feels obliged to read at some point.
