COMMUNISM, FASCISM, RADICAL ISLAM & AMERICA
Illiberalism There & Then and Here & Now
Livestreaming Thursday, November 11, at 11am ET / 8am PT
In recent years a new illiberalism has emerged in America. A number of thinkers and journalists have remarked on the similarities between this new American illiberalism and other intolerant systems. We have brought together four of them to reflect on their lived experience and/or understanding of Soviet and Chinese Communism, Argentinian Fascism, Radical Islam, and the parallels to current American trends.
