AFBC In Review


Today’s Anti Fascist Book Club with Nick Paro (https://substack.com/profile/18967504...) , Stephanie G Wilson, PhD (https://substack.com/profile/2800378-...) , Tara Devlin (https://substack.com/profile/49564131...) , and Kristofer Goldsmith (https://substack.com/profile/83462307...) explored how strongmen use virility myths and fabricated national origins to legitimize and consolidate rule. Drawing from Chapters 6-8 of Ruth Ben-Ghiat (https://substack.com/profile/8154268-...) ’s authoritative study, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, our discussion examined how authoritarian leaders (and movements) use false, staged masculinity; sexual dominance; and ‘rebirth’ narratives to mask weakness, justify repression, and bind personal power to national identity.
