The Hate Speech: Comparative Analysis of Extremism Languages

Abstract

The article deals with the formation of a fascist, ultra-rightist or national-populist language as a fundamental prior procedure for the establishment of fascist / ultra-rightist forms of domination both in cases of historical fascism - those that existed between 1920 and 1945 - and in the processes of resurgence in the present time of fascism. In contrast to economistic reductionism, we consider language as a fundamental phenomenon in the process of building fascist domination, far from being a mere "smokescreen." Fascist language articulates a series of syntagms and words that, by repetition and saturation, normalize the improbable, the inhuman, the illogical and the irrational, lowering the level of political debate and becoming an indispensable link between individuals in process of fascistization.
