In this provocative and deeply thought-out essay, Dutch philosopher and essayist Rob Riemen asks questions that resonate with our times: what exactly is fascism, why does it always return – and why do we often only recognize it when it is too late?
Citing great European minds such as Camus, Mann, Nietzsche, Adorno and Valéry, Riemen analyzes fascism not only as a political movement but as a moral and spiritual disease of society. He shows how it arises at a time when spirit disappears from culture, when truths are replaced by propaganda, and spiritual values ​​are lost to greed, individualism and materialism.
Riemen’s warning is clear: fascism is not a relic of the past, but the eternal temptation of every society that forgets dignity and truth.
The Eternal Return of Fascism is not only an intellectual call to reflection, but also a call to resistance to the indifference, lies and cynicism of our time.
