Quotes by Enzo Traverso  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“First of all, we should not forget that the concept of fascism has frequently been used even after World War II, and not only in order to define the military dictatorships of Latin America. In 1959, Theodor Adorno wrote that ‘the survival of National Socialism within democracy� was potentially more dangerous than ‘the survival of fascist tendencies against democracy�.2 In 1974, Pier Paolo Pasolini depicted the anthropological models of neoliberal capitalism as a ‘new fascism� compared to which the regime of Mussolini appeared irremediably archaic, as a kind of ‘paleofascism�.3 And in even more recent decades, many historians seeking to provide interpretations of Berlusconi’s Italy recognized its intimacy—if not its filiation—with classical fascism”
Enzo Traverso, The New Faces of Fascism: Populism and the Far Right

“[...] la derecha conservadora e incluso la extrema derecha se han convertido en ardientes defensores del sionismo, al considerar que los inmigrantes árabes y los musulmanes funcionan mucho mejor que los judíos como chivos expiatorios. Los antisemitas de ayer son hoy los que más denuncian el antisionismo como una forma de antisemitismo. El caso italiano es paradigmático: atacando al antisionismo, los «posfascistas», herederos de las leyes raciales de 1938 ahora en el Gobierno, pueden afirmar su apoyo a Israel y su pertenencia al bando occidental, estigmatizar a la izquierda y llevar a cabo políticas xenófobas contra los inmigrantes".”
Enzo Traverso, Gaza ante la historia

“other words, she seems to ignore the fact that political participation presupposes access to culture and information, mastery of the tools of reflection, a certain availability of time and, above all, the satisfaction of socially determined needs.”
Enzo Traverso, The End of Jewish Modernity
