Beyond Liberal Responses to Fascism: How to Fight the Culture Wars

Following our reading group earlier this month on understanding the culture war, our director, Mohammed Elnaiem, will present his research on the technofascist right and lead an interactive session on how to fight it.    Transhistorical neoliberal framings of the culture war as a case of misinformation or populism fail to diagnose the right’s cultural politics as a particular kind of class war. We will explore the marriage of fascism and big tech today, focusing on case studies presented by Elnaiem that demonstrate how this alliance has been organised. We will then collectively work to chart ways that help us rethink our tools of anti-fascist struggle beyond default liberal responses to fascism. Tickets are Pay What You Can starting from £5; all proceeds will help us continue funding the work we do.
