CHAPTER

Micro-Fascism and Liberation Movements

This chapter explores the dynamics of revolutionary and fascist movements of the 1970s, emphasizing the contrasting fluidity of liberation efforts against the crystallization of fascism. It examines how traditional leftist organizations can inadvertently transform into fascist entities and introduces the concept of micro-fascism as it appears in modern society, particularly through surveillance and social interactions. Through everyday examples, the chapter illustrates how both customers and service workers can exhibit micro-fascist behavior within power structures, raising critical questions about agency and resistance in today's networked world.
