I was hopeful that Paul Mason's book title "How to Stop Fascism" was actually the truth and not a lie. Skip to the last two chapters. It is the truth. The book describes how to stop fascism in today's world.
It also makes reading more of the chapters make more sense. This is an excellent book and Paul reads it himself on Audible. I recommend skipping ahead and then going back.

That said, I will leak what he seems reticent to leak. His solution. It is a recognition that stopping fascism is a moral commitment to exercise power against the forces of fascism. Tell the truth, understand fascism is evil. Get over it, and eradicate or hold at bay the fascists. Be clear, this is a moral imperative.
In my study of human lying and in my Ph.D. in Psychology, I have to say Paul Mason is perfectly correct. Here is a pamphlet from 1940 that also makes clear essentially the same moral imperative in the face of demonic autocracy.

This article about Ukraine is also good. But I wish he had mentioned what his book calls out. The effort to save Ukraine is a moral imperative by all lovers of liberty.
I wrote a short article on human evil. At least one reader objected to me bringing up such a moral "concept" in the title. But it is best we understand that people can be evil. As George Washington wrote in his Farewell Address..it is sadly inescapable. And there is science behind it.
Here is my article on how humans create evil in their brains (actually).
And evil people must never be given power. The science of lying, Mendaciology, says there is a very good way to detect such people before they have power (and after too).
NEVER VOTE FOR A DIVISIVE LIAR. Ever. You will be sorry.

But if you do vote for a divisive liar, as Paul points out, remember his solution is not optional. You must assert moral strength against evil.
As Paul wrote, when the fascists say something impossibly immoral, believe them. They are not lying about what they are going to do.

To stop fascism you must exert Moral Strength in the Face of Adversity. We rarely do that in todays world but we must do that if we want to survive.

And friends, this need for Moral Strength in the face of Adversity will never end. And will get worse. Putin already knows something that even Paul Mason, I think, doesn't quite understand yet. But here, in this short article I tell you what it is, and how to fix the new ways it will manifest itself, before the fascist evil happens again.

And, yes, Trump is evil too. Here is my professional opinion about his sad but immensely dangerous case.
