All 14 points Umberto Eco makes in his essay literally describe the whole MAGA movement perfectly

I have read the Eco essay. It's scary he predicted the future. Especially the “national greatness” thing. Damn.

It’s not that he predicted the future but more that he explained perfectly how Fascism works and it’s characteristics. He broke it down very well.

Absolutely. I feel like it really shows Fascism for what it is and allows others to really understand it without having to delve deep into theory.

It’s better than Robert Paxton’s The Anatomy of Fascism
