Dr. John Donoghue discusses how the Trump regime’s fascism is rooted in deep white supremacist historical currents running from colonial North America through the present. Confronting this history is essential if we are going to determine what it will take to defeat MAGA fascism, which poses a grave menace to freedom, decency, and the common good at home and abroad.
John Donoghue’s work has focused on the history of early American colonialism, radical political thought and action, slavery and servitude, abolition, and the political economy of capitalism. His new book project traces how insurrectionary violence established white supremacy in the colonial era and played a vital part in its transition to white nationalism in the U.S. and the resurgence of white Christian supremacy after the Civil War.
RefuseFascism.org works to unite all who can be united, from many different backgrounds and political perspectives, to join in mass, nonviolent protest and resistance in the streets and throughout society. We act with courage and conviction, refusing to stop until we create such a profound political crisis that Trump cannot impose his fascist program or maintain his hold on power. We pledge and demand: In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America! The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go Now!
