This text explores the re-assertion of right-wing populist and fascist ideologies as presented and distributed in the media. In particular, attacks on immigrants, women, minorities, and LGBTQI people are increasing, inspired by the election of politicians who openly support authoritarian discourse and scapegoating. More troubling is how this discourse is inscribed into laws and policies. Despite the urgency of the situation, the Left has been unable to effectively respond to these events, from liberals insisting on hands-off free speech policies, including covering "both sides of the issue" to socialists who utilize a tunnel vision focus on economic issues at the expense of women and minorities. In order to effectively resist right-wing movements of this magnitude, a socialist/Marxist feminist analysis is necessary for understanding how racism, sexism, and homophobia are conduits for capitalism, not just ‘identity issues.’ Topics addressed in this text include an overview of dialectical materialist feminism and its relevance and a review of characteristics of authoritarian populism and fascism. Additionally, the insistence on a colorblind conceptualization of the working class is critiqued, with its detrimental effects on moving resistance and activism forward. This was a key weakness with the Bernie Sanders campaign, which is discussed. Online environments and their alt-right discourse/function are used as an example of the ineffectiveness of e-libertarianism, which has prioritized hands-off administration, allowing right-wing discourse to overcome many online spaces. Other topics include the emergence of the fetal personhood construct in response to abortion rights, and the rejection of science and expertise.

L’Amérique du Sud est un des coeurs battants du féminisme contemporain. Des millions de femmes y prennent la rue contre les féminicides, les violences qui frappent les minorités de race et de genre, les lois qui répriment l’avortement et le développement néo-extractiviste. Figure majeure du féminisme latino-américain, Verónica Gago réinscrit ces bouleversements dans l’émergence d’une internationale féministe et propose, avec La puissance féministe, un antidote à tous les discours de culpabilité et de victimisation. En se réappropriant l’arme classique de la grève, en construisant un féminisme populaire, radical et inclusif, les mouvements sud-américains ont initié une véritable révolution. C’est à partir de l’expérience de ces luttes que Gago reconceptualise la question du travail domestique et de la reproduction sociale, expose les limites du populisme de gauche et dialogue avec Spinoza, Marx, Luxemburg ou Federici. Parce qu’il unit la verve politique du manifeste aux ambitions conceptuelles de la théorie, La puissance féministe est un livre majeur pour saisir la portée internationale du féminisme aujourd’hui.
