Yes, It's Fascism - America now meets the 18 criteria
Sam Harris speaks with Jonathan Rauch about the emergence of fascism in American politics. They discuss Rauch’s article, “Yes, It’s Fascism,” the 18 criteria of fascism, the glorification and unapologetic use of state violence, “might is right” foreign policy, the politicization of law enforcement, the complicity of the rich and powerful, blood and soil nationalism, the influence of Carl Schmitt, the resilience of American institutions, and other topics.
Jonathan Rauch, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, is the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He is a contributing writer for The Atlantic and recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. His latest book, published in 2021 by the Brookings Press, is [_The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth_](https://amzn.to/4qdoa9d), a spirited and deep-diving account of how to push back against disinformation, canceling, and other new threats to our fact-based epistemic order.
