To fight evil, you gotta name it: thoughts on fascism, resistance, and history's ghosts

In this episode, Conall and Emerson have yet another discussion about how to deal with rising fascism in the United States, and we both emphasize the importance of the simple power of naming things as they are. When we name evil and malice as such, we begin to be able to confront them. We also discuss what accountability and justice may look like in the face of the Trump administration's continued assault on democracy and decency.Conall also discusses the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, and how by studying an example of where fascism triumphed against democracy, we can impart wisdom to the people of today about fascism's dangers.
