This weekend I heard a friend who is clearly aligned with the left say in public that it was not correct to describe Alberto Núñez Feijóo as a fascist. Okay, I told him later, that is not the ideological classification that corresponds to his political affiliation. But then, how do we qualify those who align, vote and govern with the fascist extreme right, whether from their own country or another, when playing in European Parcheesi? This century wants to confuse us all with its liquid structures, its destruction of the norms and rules that allowed us to move through a limited world. We lack the exact words to define these actions and, therefore, we lack the precise concepts to defend ourselves against them.
There you have Donald Trump and his ghostly government, each name that is made public more eccentric than the last, a veritable catwalk of undocumented trash. In what box, in what drawer, in what folder do we then place the orange terror? A guy who has decided to outsource the action of the government, making ministers of other crazy people like him, while ordering the most unbalanced of them all, the fanatic Elon Musk, to destroy the Public Administration, to put an end to the structures that keep a State understood as such, such a type, we say, can never be classified in the box of fascism, defined in classical texts as a totalitarian movement that promotes the intervention of the State in the economy, politics and society. Well, Trump does not want a State. Like Milei.
