“End Times Fascism”: Naomi Klein on How Trump, Musk, Far Right “Don’t Believe in the Future”
Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman interviews Naomi Klein about her Guardian article "The rise of end times fascism," co-authored with Astra Taylor, which argues that wealthy elites and far-right leaders like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are accelerating the world's destruction while preparing bunker enclaves, freedom cities, and space escapes. Klein says today's fascists, unlike those of the 1930s, offer no future — uniting Christian Zionists watching for end times in Gaza, tech oligarchs pursuing privatized "exit" nations, and MAGA survivalists buying gold and ready-to-eat meals — and she says the response is to be the people who believe in this world and the future.
