Abstract

He term neofascism has been used to classify both the Bolsonaro government and current reactionary thinking. This article proposes to rescue the theoretical debate among Marxists about fascism as a way of extracting general criteria of interpretation relevant to the present. We present the reader with three theses in relation to historical fascism: fascism precedes a particular crisis of hegemony in bourgeois society; fascism is characterized by having a mass base constituted, fundamentally, by the petty bourgeoisie; fascism serves the interests of big monopoly capital.
