      Eco is pretty anti-materialist with how he approaches the sources of fascism but the psychology points he makes on its expression are often very incisive

      “Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.”

        Yeah when Trump got elected it was like everyone and their dog was talking about his analysis of fascism trying to make sense of the situation. Which was good. I mean, he does line up some good points and says it in a way that average people can parse. Lord knows my brain is so politics poisoned I can lose touch trying to explain things to normies
