Why Does Naomi Klein Say We Are Living Through End Times Fascism ?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
copilot Naomi Klein uses the term end times fascism to describe a modern form of far‑right politics shaped by overlapping global crises and an apocalyptic worldview .
Understanding Klein’s Concept
Klein argues that today’s far‑right movements resemble earlier fascist traditions but differ in crucial ways. She emphasizes that this is not a repeat of 20th‑century fascism but a “sequel” shaped by existential threats such as climate breakdown, advanced technologies, and extreme inequality .
A Coalition Rooted in Crisis
Klein and Astra Taylor identify three groups converging around this worldview:
- Religious end‑timers , who see global turmoil as part of a prophetic timeline .
- Tech elites , who invest in bunkers, AI, and escape fantasies rather than solutions .
- Ethnonationalists , who respond to crisis by fortressing borders and excluding migrants .
-
Despite differing ideologies, these groups share a belief that the world is collapsing and only a chosen few will survive .
What Makes It “End Times”
Klein argues that earlier fascist movements promised a utopian future for the in‑group. Today’s version, by contrast, offers no collective future at all . Instead, elites “bet against the future,” accelerating crises while preparing private escape routes—from bunkers to space fantasies .
Why She Calls It Fascism
Klein points to familiar fascist logics— dehumanization, hierarchy, and scapegoating —but applied in a world with nuclear weapons, climate instability, and powerful technologies . This combination, she argues, makes the current moment uniquely dangerous.
A Call to Resist
Across interviews and writings, Klein stresses that end times fascism has not won and highlights global movements resisting authoritarianism and ecological destruction .

Dystopia here we come.
the thumpers that are trying to help the end times come about, should be the first recipients of it's permanence ...
Why Does Naomi Klein Say We Are Living Through End Times Fascism?
because she’s a fanatical socialist and her religion compels her to beleive such things,
Sean, what religion are you talking about?
didn't you know they consider communism to be a religion????
And you know what really pisses me off is when people like that call me a communist knowing that I served my country for 10 years fighting off the communist hordes
Some people do.
And I get why that can piss you off.
These people with too much time on their hands should put it to work helping people in their communities, or read a fucking book.
not just a book but a fucking book
Agreed....one with actual words and not pictures
