Fascism: A Warning

Examine the role of charismatic leadership in the rise of fascist regimes as presented in Fascism: A Warning. How does Albright illustrate the dangers of charismatic leaders, and how do historical examples like Hitler and Mussolini compare to modern leaders discussed in the book?

Discuss the relationship between democracy and authoritarianism in the book. How does Albright argue that democratic systems can be undermined from within? What steps does she propose to safeguard democracy against rising authoritarian tendencies?

Analyze the use of propaganda in both historical and modern fascist movements. How does Albright highlight the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion and maintaining control in authoritarian regimes? Consider how this plays out in both 20th-century fascism and 21st-century populist movements.
