Fascism and Liberalism - Gängeviertel - Hamburg

Fascism is usually seen as an attack on liberal society, its politics, culture, and economy. There are calls everywhere to defend the liberal “Free West,” while at the same time the EU is increasingly closing itself off and there is a from day to day more radicalized discourse about dismantling social welfare measures to discipline and militarize society. The connection between the liberal tradition and fascism is often deliberately ignored and denied. However, fascism was and is by no means the antithesis of liberalism; rather, it is dialectically linked to liberalism in its ideology and practice. Historical fascism can thus be read as a radical attempt to overcome the crisis of liberalism by overcoming its internal contradictions. These tendencies are currently reemerging openly. We therefore want to discuss the relationship between liberalism and fascism from a political, psychoanalytical, monetary policy, and economic perspective.
