End Times Fascism

And the Fight for the Living World




A blistering exposé of the new far-right apocalyptic alliance that's on the move around the globe - and how we resist

The far right is on the march again – but this time it’s different. A new, apocalyptic alliance of religious fundamentalists, billionaire Silicon Valley tech kings and ethno-nationalists is on the move. They’re united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, and they welcome a future of shocks, scarcity and collapse, convinced they’ll be among the saved on the other side.

In this blistering reckoning with our age, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor take us deep into this man-made Armageddon complex – and show us how to resist it. Around the globe, they investigate how those who are making our world unliveable are preparing to protect themselves from the fallout, whether it’s by repairing to luxurious private islands, or bunkering nations against a dehumanized ‘other’.

If we’re to meet this critical moment and defend what’s left of democracy before it’s smashed up beyond repair, Klein and Taylor argue, we must break the doom loop, and tell a story not of end times – but of better times.

Praise for End Times Fascism

'This urgent and essential book explains why we should be extremely frightened of, and extremely angry about, the man-made wreckage of the present. It is an indictment of those that engineer and profit from this apocalyptic moment. But it also a vital rallying call for a new universalism, a humane and inspiring project which might ensure our collective emergence from this crisis'

Max Porter

[A] bold, clarifying intervention... Their valuable contribution is to map out the frightening new territory in which we find ourselves, and point to an escape

Daniel Trilling, Guardian

For those who since Trump’s first term have debated whether fascism is back, Klein and Taylor make a convincing argument in the affirmative... But they warn that history is not a repeating loop. Instead it spirals, taking us to places that look familiar but are changed by unpredictable new developments. Watch for yellow stars or jackboots and you’ll miss the facial-recognition databases... The value of End Times Fascism, as always with Klein, is in the connections it makes. She noted recently that her work is pattern recognition. The particular genius of her writing has been to combine compelling reporting with an ability to see the oblique lines linking apparently disparate trends
