纳奥米·克莱因与阿斯特拉·泰勒合著的新书《末世法西斯主义与生活世界的抗争》以及吉尔·杜兰的《书呆子帝国:硅谷法西斯主义与民主之战》揭示了当代技术与法西斯意识形态的融合现象1。克莱因与泰勒将"末世法西斯主义"定义为"嵌入在某些东西正在结束的认知中的法西斯主义,它以露骨的残忍来回应这一令人不适的真相"1。两部著作分析了硅谷精英如何利用技术手段推进专制目标,相关人物包括彼得·蒂尔、埃隆·马斯克、JD·万斯和山姆·奥特曼等1。
杜兰在其著作中指出,科技法西斯主义"将AI、加密货币和社交媒体等强大技术捆绑起来,用于专制目标,使一个小型相互关联的寡头集团受益"1。这些技术通过三种核心功能发挥作用:增强差异与统治的能力、通过神话填补意义真空(如"大替代论"),以及通过算法和内容包装培养法西斯意识形态1。
评论指出这两部著作虽然具有洞察力,但存在共同的局限性——过度依赖"大人物"叙事,未能充分解释法西斯能量在普通民众中的起源、更新和传播方式1。
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor have co-authored a new work that defines "end times fascism" as "fascism embedded in the perception that something is ending, responding to this uncomfortable truth with explicit cruelty." 1 The book analyzes how contemporary technology and fascist ideology have become intertwined, examining the mechanisms through which Silicon Valley elites advance authoritarian objectives. 1
In a related work, author Jill Duran argues that tech fascism "bundles powerful technologies like artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and social media for authoritarian purposes, benefiting a small interconnected oligarchy." 1 Both works identify key figures in this landscape, including Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, and Sam Altman. 1 The authors identify three core functions of technology in advancing fascist ideology: operationalizing differences and domination, creating alienation through mythologies such as the "great replacement," and manipulating public sentiment through algorithms and content curation. 1
However, both works share a significant limitation: they rely heavily on "great man" narratives centered on powerful elites, without adequately explaining how fascist ideology originates, evolves, and spreads among ordinary citizens. 1 While these analyses offer insights into the convergence of technology and authoritarianism, they fall short of fully accounting for the grassroots mechanisms through which such movements gain traction and sustain themselves. 1
