Naomi Klein opened the teach-in by challenging the conventional, narrow understanding of fascism, particularly the idea that it is a uniquely European phenomenon that began in the 1920s or ’30s and was defeated in 1945. Instead, she argued, fascism is a recurring logic rooted in imperialism, settler colonialism, and racial supremacy – systems that long predate European fascism and that continue to shape global politics today.
