Uploaded May 2025 | Updated September 2026, 10 hours ago

What is the agenda of the far-right? How has the far-right secured the support of anti-elite anger – and appeased by the traditional right? Where did the left go wrong? How can we survive authoritarian rule and best resist misogyny and racism? Where are the fractures in the Right that need to be broken open?
