citationsneeded.libsyn.comCitations Needed: Episode 213: The Shallow, Power-Flattering Appeal of High Status #Resistance Historians"The Bad Guys Are Winning," wrote Anne Applebaum for The Atlantic in 2021. "The War on History Is a War on Democracy," warned Timothy Snyder in The New York Times, also in 2021. "The GOP has found a Putin-lite to fawn over. That's bad news for democracy," argued Ruth Ben-Ghiat on MSNBC the following year, 2022. Within the last 10 years or so, and especially since the 2016 election of Trump, these authors — Anne Applebaum, Timothy Snyder, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, in addition to several others — have become liberal-friendly experts on authoritarianism. On a regular basis, they make appearances on cable news and in the pages of legacy newspapers and magazines–in some cases, as staff members–in order to warn of how individual, one-off “strongmen” like Trump, Putin, Orban, and Xi, made up a vague “authoritarian” axis hellbent on destroying Democracy for its own sake. But what good does this framing do and who does it absolve? Instead of meaningfully contending with US's sprawling imperial power and internal systems of oppression — namely being the largest carceral state in the world — these MSNBC historians reheat decades-old Axis of Evil or Cold War good vs evil rhetoric, pinning the horrors of centuries of political violence on individual "mad men." Meanwhile, they selectively invoke the "authoritarian" label, fretting about the need to save some abstract notion of democracy from geopolitical Bad Guys while remaining silent as the US funds, arms and backs the most authoritarian process imaginable — the immiseration and destruction of an entire people — specifically in Gaza. On this episode, we look at the advent and influence of MSNBC-approved historians, dissecting their selective anti-authoritarian posture and discussing how their work does little more than polish their careers and provide cover for US and US-allied militarism. Our guest is historian and author Greg Grandin.
OUR COMMON GROUND

"Il Duce replaced democratic elections with occasional plebiscites. In 1934, as he prepared to invade Ethiopia and was dealing with increased internal unrest, he staged a vote. Italians were actually weighing in on a purge of the political class: a single list he had approved of nominees for seats in Parliament, with the choices YES or NO."

"The U.S. Naval Academy’s history department invited NYU historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat to give a guest lecture this month about what happens to militaries under authoritarian rule, then the Heritage Foundation and other right-wing figures launched a pressure campaign and the academy disinvited her."

“That’s the big question,” #RuthBenGhiat said, adding that it depends partly on #Trump’s ability to impose party #fealty, #intimidate critics & install competent bureaucrats who are effective at using levers of #power to advance his personal aims.

“It is about criminalizing #dissent,” she said. “There is a method to his madness in that he has taken people on a journey of #indoctrination.”

“He’s actually rehearsing, in a sense, what he would be doing as head of state, which is what #Orban does, #Modi is doing, #Putin has long done…Just as there’s a divide now because of this #brainwashing about who is a #patriot & who is a #criminal about #Jan6 …In the same way, telling the truth in any area— #journalists, #scientists, … anybody who is engaged in objective inquiry, prosecutors, of course—they become criminal elements & they need to be shut down,” #RuthBenGhiat said.

An expert who studies #authoritarianism & #fascism said #Trump’s rhetoric about criminalizing #dissent is familiar, & could carry serious implications for the country if he’s elected president.

“This is out of the autocratic playbook. As autocrats consolidate their #power once they’re in office, anything that threatens their power, or exposes their #corruption, or releases #information that’s harmful to them in any way becomes illegal,” said #RuthBenGhiat, a historian & professor at NYU….

I've had similar experiences in the past months when I posted material from the folowing authors — again, just excerpts, no commentary of my own:

1. Ruth Ben-Ghiat

2. Christa Brown

In Ben-Ghiat's case, I know that many others had the same thing happen on Facebook, since she blogged about this, asking people to report if links to her articles on Facebook were taken down.

Social media can be every bit as morally bankrupt as corporate media.
