一句话看懂
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor published "End Times Fascism" on Sept 15, 2026.
The book names religious, tech and ethnonationalist end-timers and aims to help opponents fight them.
背景
Klein and Taylor first appeared together on a livestreamed "emergency town hall" after Trump's 2024 election win, then co-wrote a 2025 Guardian essay naming what they called "end times fascism." Their new book expands that essay, arguing three overlapping far-right groups — religious end-timers, tech end-timers and ethnonationalists — actively push for the end of democratic government and even human life, believing they will thrive on the other side of catastrophe. The book tour and a wave of interviews in September 2026 put the argument back in public discussion.

各方怎么说
- Authors
- Klein says end-times fascism takes the end of this world for granted and has made peace with collapse, while Taylor says the term applies to some of the most powerful people leading governments and companies, not a dominant political worldview.
- Analysts
- The New World writes that 20th-century fascism offered ordinary workers guaranteed jobs and subsidised holidays, but the fascism of the 2020s rewards a few men with unimaginable wealth and revels in an apocalyptic vision of the future.
- Authors
- Taylor says the goal is to show the chinks, fractures and frailties in the alliance, and Klein says helping people look at the threat will help find a motivating force.
