Ao4: Fascism

this evening (saturday 15th), 8.00-8.56pm (repeated 12.04pm friday), on bbc radio 4 

the other f word (presented by jonathan freedland) (in the archive on 4 series) 

“Fascist. Fascism. By one measure, a very specific, historical movement. But also a word that is wholly of the now, used – or thrown around – daily and with ever-greater frequency.

A warning from history, few words have such power. But has that power been eroded over the decades, twisted by propagandists, rendered meaningless by over-use?

Jonathan Freedland considers the past and present of the f-word, spooling through the BBC archives from Benito Mussolini’s March on Rome a century ago, to contemporary talk of body fascism and eco-fascism.

Who or what in today’s world could be described as fascist? Why does the word exert such continued power? And is it appropriate to compare the politics or language of the 1930s with that of today?”
