Ideologically and economically, 2024 is only a few steps away from the 1930s. Our fascism has a digital component whereas ninety years ago, theirs was strictly analogue. The epochs are similar in inequality, populist politics, xenophobia and fear that runs through society with the hum and speed of electricity racing on wires strung across old-style power grid poles. The greatest difference between then and now is that the 21st century is radically opposed to socialism. It is indicative that our entitled are better masters of propaganda than Goebbels and have made the ordinary despise the medicine that could cure them of their hard-grind existence.
