Antifascism Begins At Home with Matthew Remski

About this episode

Cory Johnston interviews Matthew Remski about antifascism, parenting, and the political implications of family life.

I talk with Matthew Remski about his new project Antifascist Dad and the work he has been doing on masculinity, parenting, and the rise of fascist politics. We get into the difference between liberal parenting and antifascist parenting, how family life becomes a political space, and how kids understand power in ways adults often miss. Matthew explains the two competing definitions of fascism, the history of religious antifascism, and the ways capitalism shapes our emotional lives. This episode looks at the role of fathers and caregivers in resisting authoritarian culture and raising kids who understand solidarity, care, and critical thinking.
