Kate Wagner: "The question of whether or not we are living 'in fascism' is, I’ve always thought, a kind of useless one, mostly because history does not go backwards: today there is not a 'return' to fascism so much as an integration of fascist tendencies and practices—the fetishization of youth and violence, annihilationism, policies of racialized extermination, etc.—this time carried out within the economic structures and the smooth, financialized logic of neoliberal 'optimization.'"
