The protests are not concerned with replacing the current government or leader with others, and thus getting a better version of what we already have. Instead, they refuse all leaders, including the most critical opposition leaders: these protests are about dismantling the need for leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore and more people are coming to the view that it is not possible to manage the many crises within the framework of the political institutions we have today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new protests are political acts that are neither class struggle nor the establishment of an opposition to those in power. \u003cem\u003eThe Refusalist International\u003c\/em\u003e by Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen argues that we should understand these protests as the emergence of a new kind of revolutionary action that is as much an anthropological as a political transformation.

He argues that late capitalism has produced hollowed-out and exchangeable subjectivities that provide a breeding ground for a new kind of diffuse, banal fascism. The overt and concentrated fascism of the new fascist parties thrives on the diffuse fascism present in social media and everyday life, where the fear of being left behind and losing out has fuelled resentment towards foreigners and others who are perceived as threats to a national community under siege.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly by confronting both the overt fascism of parties and politicians and the diffuse fascism of everyday life will we be able to combat fascism effectively and prevent the slide into barbarism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471069659372,"sku":"9781509547449","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509547449-late-capitalist-fascism.jpg?v=1775232367"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/mikkel-bolt-rasmussen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
