Fascist Pleasures: What Makes Fascism Sexy, and What Can We Do About It?

Talk and Discussion
This talk and discussion explores the seductive side of contemporary fascism, asking what makes authoritarianism appear playful and even desirable in times of crisis. The event examines how fascist pleasure operates today — from gamified capitalism to the emotional promises of security, identity, and freedom — and how antifascist politics can respond to these affects and desires.
