As @GregGrandin points out, the Latin American Left has been calling the far right fascists for decades without qualms. From Bukele to Trump, the label is the least of it: It’s the crisis, liberalism’s failure, and the popular political response that matters.

Jacobin @jacobin

Discussions of whether Trumpism is fascist often lose sight of the political stakes of the issue. But like Italian and German fascism, MAGA reflects a political system failing to address capitalist crisis. https://t.co/j418ccSGFN

Part 2 of @infrapolitics & my conversation with @DanielDenvir for @thedigradio is out now. We go deep on Bukele, the conditions for his rise and the cycles of transnational US repression that created the gang violence he purports to address.

The end of the bloody, US-backed civil wars across Central America led to a brutal neoliberal economic restructuring near the turn of the century — which then helped produce the 21st-century authoritarianism of Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele. https://t.co/SUjEWujMGa

La Corte Suprema ordena al gobierno de Trump facilitar el retorno del salvadoreño deportado al CECOT por error. ¿Qué de los cientos de personas venezolanas presas sin antecedentes penales? ¿Los cientos de miles de personas salvadoreñas detenidas sin causa?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court says the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador. https://t.co/TL9KX0FBSN

There are currently *several* US citizens indefinitely imprisoned without due process under Bukele’s state of exception

President Donald Trump’s administration elevated El Salvador’s travel safety designation to the best possible, putting it above countries in Western Europe, ahead of President Nayib Bukele’s visit to the White House next week. https://t.co/2xec6xIEvO

Jacobin @jacobin

There is a direct line in Central America stretching back more than a century from US-backed military intervention, to support of reactionary oligarchies, to devastating neoliberal restructuring, to the migration crisis now exploited in US politics. https://t.co/DhXS6vVQgb
