Audiobook: A Brief History of Fascist Lies by Federico Finchelstein, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini by Post Hypnotic Press Inc. published on 2020-08-26T21:27:46Z World-renowned historian Federico Finchelstein, author of "From Fascism to Populism in History," explains in this short companion volume why fascists regard simple, often hateful lies as truth, and why many of their followers believe these lies. Throughout the twentieth century, many supporters of fascist ideologies regarded political lies as truth incarnated in their leader. From Hitler to Mussolini, to more modern examples like Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, fascist leaders capitalized on lies as the base of their power and popular sovereignty. Lies again seem to be replacing empirical truth, as actual news is called “fake news” and lies becomes government policy. A Brief History of Fascist Lies urges us to remember that the current talk of “post-truth” has a long political and intellectual lineage that we cannot ignore. Genre Audiobooks
