The 4 markers of Fascism according to Vladimir Safatle, paraphrased:
- Cult of violence;
- Paranoid nationalism;
- Erosion of solidarity (<- this is the one we're talking about here);
- Above-the-law leadership.
"It's the implosion of the possibility of generic solidarity. This insensitivity expresses a desire for the visibility structures of social life to not be transformed. (...) It's about defining what can affect us, and how intensely. (...) And for that, one must manage the grammar of what is visible.
Fascism will always be in solidarity with the absolute insensitivity to violence against vulnerable classes. (...) All recognition requires that the one who recognizes change as well, because he will now inhabit the world with bodies that did not affect him before."
