Bye bye Meloni. Trump's imperialism and attitudes are in line with an authoritarian mentality, but European leaders continue to use a disproportionate amount of flattery to please the US president. The outcome is always the same

"Remigration and recapture" gathering in Rome, with slogans such as "Duce Duce" & "Europe/ Italy belong to us". A new face of racism. "Remigrazione e riconquista" a Roma, con slogan sul Duce e del tipo "padroni a casa nostra". Il nuovo volto del razzismo

As a historian of neofascism, I say these are not conservative views. Musk promotes racism, ethnonationalism and fascistic messages. He has an antidemocratic agenda. He is in line with the histories & ideas of the far right. Media must stop normalising new forms of (neo)fascism

Ah Matthew, Matthew ... I still remember when I was visiting the University of Bath and we, both young PhD students, were pleasently discussing politics. Paradoxically enough, you became a far-right phenomenon to study ... Life trajectories can be unpredictable as well as fantastic.

By the way, I have studied fascism for decades, and so did scholars like @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social , J. Stanley, @timothysnyder.bsky.social @andreamammone.bsky.social mone.bsky.social . Trump normalizers are NOt experts on fascism.

I share what I wrote in early 2021 for @ajenglish.bsky.social: "Rather than continuing to view their country as an exception", the US should look to history "to understand the perils of normalising fascistic and anti-democratic tendencies . American democracy is not too strong to fail". aje.io/k8z3g

The delusion of American exceptionalism

Today is a day of reckoning for all Americans who believe their democracy is just 'too strong to fail.'

Meloni's party paradoxically claims that opposition groups have "problems" [ties? ambiguities?] with pro-pal terrorists. Once more Italy's far right forgets its own issues with antisemitism. They side with Israel & Jews - except if you are @opensocietybr.bsky.social @soros-md.bsky.social of course

Nostalgia & (neo)fascism in Italy. Ignazio La Russa, a founder of Meloni's party (FdI), president of the Senate, celebrates the neofascist Italian Social Movement (MSI). For him, the party logo, a flame recalling a fascist tradition, is a "symbol of love". A similar symbol is used by the FdI

I would not so easioy dismiss the influence & future impact of Trumpism

Andrea Mammone @andreamammone.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

I share @finchelsteinf.bsky.social's view. We should stop approaching fascism as a European-only phenomenon. Italy was the first nation, but transnational connections & similarities are central to understand the past & fascism's contemporary permutations. U.S. exceptionalism simply makes no sense

Andrea Mammone @andreamammone.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

As a historian of (neo)fascism, I believe that the antidemocratic turn in the US is clearly much more problematic than in other nations. As in interwar Europe, elites are enabling authoritarianism with fascist connotations

Meloni's party is paradoxically claiming that she contributed to the peace agreement in Gaza, while the Left contributed to riots in the demonstrations for peace

After decades studying the far right, I can tell Trumpism is a new fascism. Similar old traits: sense of national decline & crisis, calls for national regeneration, fabricating enemies, scapegoting, cult of leader, use of violence, (para)military force, demagogic propaganda.

Italy 2025, many decades after the fall of the fascist dictatorship. The far-right government would like to ban history texts (for schools) rightly considering Meloni's party as "ultra right" and with a nostalgic approach on fascism. This is also done to scare publishers.

We are Nobel laureates, scientists, writers and artists. The threat of fascism is back | Open letter

As in 1925, when Mussolini was in power, we must openly defy the brutal imposition of the fascist ideology

Andrea Mammone @andreamammone.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

My view on "trumpism in L.A.": racism, fabricating enemies & panic (raids, insurrection), rejecting basic rules, violence, militarisation, Mussolini-type propaganda, repressing dissent, silencing media, threatening political opponents = this is contemporary fascism possibly leading to dictatorship

Andrea Mammone @andreamammone.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Far-right Meloni says "Freedom, democracy, and the centrality of the human being" are common values between the EU and USA. REALLY? Are you talking about Trump's far-right America? Threats? Deportations? No respect of legislations?

Andrea Mammone @andreamammone.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

With the passing of Pope Francis we will miss a voice against racists and Christian nationalists, ultra-traditionalists and those in the far right hijaking religion. Aside of the hypocrisy which we will hear soon, many of them hatred him - he was not considered "their" Pope

For those European "leftwingers" eyeing a Trump victory because Biden=Trump, Harris is worse, end of war in Ukraine, Gaza free - you were enabling neofascism, autocracy, xenophobia, neoimperialism. You are like such British "socialists" for Brexit. History taught you nothing.
