Episode #205: Fascism and Political Language with Andrew Gavin Marshall (Part 2)
We chat with Andrew Gavin Marshall on part two of his series on fascism. In this interview, we discuss the amorphous nature of fascism, how its adherents don't really have a political history to work off of, why former colonies didn't lean towards fascist tendencies, and finally end with a discussion on how one can attempt, if at all, to help someone who is enamored by fascism.

Today we have a lengthy conversation with friend of the show Andrew Gavin Marshall to discuss the first part of his recent series on fascism.
