Untitled (Notes on Fascism This Time)

Abstract

Abstract This is a short commentary on the relevance of Jair Bolsonaro for the critical theorizing of the political. In it, I consider the resurfacing of fascism in the past decade or as the manifestation of a political form which is consistent with the mode of thinking that nourishes the liberal political architecture. I do so by discussing key philosophical, critical, and anticolonial formulations which indicates present the elements that allows for the kind of binding of the state with its citizens that supports fascism, both in the past and in the present.
