El Taller: Understanding Modern Fascism with Alberto Toscano
In this episode of El Taller, hosts Kurt Hackbarth and José Luis Granados Ceja sit down with Alberto Toscano, author of Late Fascism, to unpack what fascism means today — beyond political clichés. Toscano discusses how the term is often misused, the risks of comparing modern politics too directly with the past, and how Mexico’s political transformation stands out amid the global rise of the far right. The conversation bridges theory, geopolitics, and Mexico’s place in an unsettled world.
