Henry Giroux Quotes About Fascism

• Remember what Hannah Arendt said when she was talking about fascism and totalitarianism. She said thoughtlessness is the essence of totalitarianism. So all of a sudden emotion becomes more important than reason. Ignorance becomes more important than justice. Injustice is looked over as simply something that happens on television. The spectacle of violence takes over everything.

• Trump, like that canary in the coalmine, makes clear what elements of fascism are really like. Let's be honest. The racism, the ignorance, the stupidity, the baiting, the great-man affect, this notion that he exists in a circle of certainty that can't be doubted, this kind of perverse hatred of the other. We've seen this before. This legacy is not new. What we have to recognize is the different form that it takes at a different moment in history.

• La diferencia entre el neoliberalismo y el fascismo o el nazismo u otras formas de totalitarismo es que se toma en serio las cuestiones ideológicas. Se toma en serio la esfera educativa, y le dice a la gente que no hay alternativa; que la libertad de mercado es realmente la libertad en general; que un tipo rabioso de individualismo es todo lo que importa; que como solía decir Ayn Rand, "el interés propio es la virtud suprema" - y la gente cree estas cosas. Porque no tienen otro discurso.

• I think that contradictions, unless they're understood, unless they're analyzed, unless they're thoughtfully probed, unless people have a sense of what those contradictions mean - there's just as much of a chance that they'll move into embracing fascism as there is that they'll move into a more radical conception of democracy itself.
