Fascism is rhetoric, antifascism is practice
“Mussolini's creature, as a political and cultural phenomenon, is one of the original products of made in Italy with the greatest global success. Antifascism, that is to say the set of values, cultures, and practices that oppose fascism, necessarily follows its arc and (mis)fortunes. A word, antifascism, that gains and loses meanings over time depending on the places it is used, but which has always remained linked to the will to oppose a brutal and domineering attitude of those who wish to advance the privileges of a few at the expense of the rights of all.” Through historical, symbolic, and semantic analyses and examples drawn from the events of the last century and the more recent ones, Francesco Filippi narrates to us the many facets and definitions of antifascism, not only as a form of political resistance or criticism of the existing and of power, but also as a constitutional and cultural practice and beacon, dismantling the rhetoric that would make it seem obsolete. A history lesson, useful for everyone, young and old, and for the generations who have lived through their families' memories of fascism and dictatorship. Essential for understanding the present and future of this country where the ghosts of the past come knocking forcefully at the doors of our societies.
