#39-24 What Is Fascism? (then and now)

Bernadette Devlin McAliskey is an Irish republican socialist, political activist, and feminist. She gave this passionate speech in Dublin in 2017, upon the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica in 1937 in the Basque region of Spain. She speaks of the increase of fascism, of fascism as de-humanization, Muslims as the new scapegoats, the political origins and philosophies of republicanism vs nationalism, and populist fascist Donald Trump.
