About this listen

In this episode of The Leftish Agenda, Eddie delves into an intense debate surrounding fascism's potential characteristics within the U.S. Government. He explores whether or not authoritarian tendencies, nationalism, scapegoating, and suppression of dissent are evident in the country. Notable concerns include the increasing concentration of power in the executive branch and attempts to undermine major institutional structures such as the judiciary or media. However, counterarguments emphasizing the resilience of American democracy are also discussed. Critical features like the balance of power provided by the Constitution, the protection of free speech and press, the active role of advocacy groups, and an independent judiciary are proposed as safeguards against authoritarianism. Eddie closes with the important note that historical context is essential in forming perspectives, concluding that active involvement in democratic processes is crucial to continue upholding the democratic freedoms that many have fought for.
