WHAT IS FASCISM? My interview with historian John Lestrange

About this episode

Marianne Williamson interviews historian John Lestrange about the implications of fascism in contemporary politics.

When I read Madeleine Albright's book FASCISM: A Warning, I became deeply aware that what happened before could happen again. And it could happen here. But what is fascism, really? Is it hyperbole to make any mention of Hitler, to draw a comparison between today's politics and the Third Reich? The issue is critical. Nuance is important, but history's lessons are important too. History is a great illuminator. John Lestrange is called The History Wizard, and I've enjoyed his everyman's approach to teaching it. A scholar on Genocide Studies, he answered questions in our interview that cast light on a topic deeply relevant to our times. There is much to learn, and much to consider… Follow John on Instagram Subscribe to Marianne's Substack: MarianneWilliamson.Susbtack.com Subscribe to Marianne's YouTube Channel Follow Marianne on Instagram Follow Marianne on Facebook Follow Marianne on TikTok Learn more at Marianne.com
