Christopher Mathias, a longtime friend of the show and a journalist who has covered far-right movements in the United States, joins to talk about the origins of the right-wing panic surrounding antifascist activism in the United States. We also talked about the Trump's executive orders targeting "antifa," a questionable study claiming that left-wing terrorism is rising in the US, and why today's antifascist panic feels more alarming than its prior iterations.
