"Liberalism and fascism is more connected than we think. Liberal interventions can look like fascist interventions"... In Cape Town one can see this in white greenies in agroecology, in permaculture, in urban agriculture and 'saving' the environment
They are connected by the genealogy of Modernity: from Christian salvation which turned secular and universal in the Enlightenment, developed into the sciences and philosophies of the 19-20th centuries e.g. Marxism, Fascism, Liberalism, Socialism etc. Modernity is change, movement, and apparent 'progress'. Both Liberalism and Fascism are ideologies of progress and salvation and therefore of Modernity, they just differ in the 'how', they don't necessarily question the 'why'.
Nelsons colleague in the Coloniality/Modernity/Decoloniality group, Walter Mignolo, explains this very well, pls have a look at his works and lectures for more.
Loved the discourse and reminds all POC to decolonize your minds. But honestly this man is fine as hell. #JustSayin
