Titolo:
"Lo spettro immaginario del fascismo nei populismi del XXI secolo"
The prevailing orientation
of the political commentators is to liquidate
populism as a pathological disease of democracy,
the dangerous embryo of a non-existent
fascist threat. The paper distinguishes
populism from the fascist ideology and the
latter from the far-right post-fascist movements,
trying to provide a heuristic definition
of today’s populist phenomenon, far from minimalist
perspectives. On an analytical level,
the aim of the paper is to clarify the concepts
involved, in order to avoid an instrumental
and polemical use of such concepts, that are
the object of the discussion.
