Description

Is Donald Trump really a fascist - or has the word lost all meaning in modern political discourse? In the age of Trump, “fascism” has become one of the most explosive and contested terms in politics. Critics argue it’s an accurate description of the former president’s rhetoric and leadership style, while supporters see it as reckless hyperbole designed to demonize him. Renowned philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek joins Piers Morgan to discuss his new book, Liberal Fascism, and whether the label truly applies to Donald Trump - or whether something more complicated is happening beneath the surface of modern liberal politics. Later, Piers is joined by internet commentator Warren Smith, who offers a very different perspective on the debate. 00:40 Introduction 01:20 Piers is joined by Slavoj Zizek to discuss Fascism and Politics 05:04 Can fascism exist on the Left and the Right? 06:58 Is Trump a Fascist? 11:47 The ‘Woke far Left’ and Fascism 15:17 Ignoring the law as a sign of Fascism 19:00 The rise of a new Capitalism 20:48 The ‘Broligarchs’ Musk, AI and mind-controlling 22:30 Slavoj on Neurolink 28:10 Nazi analogies from Trump and JD Vance 31:50 The pendulum between Fascism and Wokeism colliding 35:04 Warren Smith joins Piers to critically assess Slavoj’s interview 36:00 The difference between Fascism and Communism 40:55 Being anti-fascist, yet defending Communism 43:58 Warren’s rebuttal to Slavoj on understanding Communism Subscribe to stay up-to-date on all Uncensored content.

What kind of abrupt ending was that? Why does it feel like something has been “censored?”

Morgan: "I'm an investor in Palantir" NOT an impartial journalist at all then.

This is Piers at his absolute worst. He couldn't even follow the conversation.

Piers lines of questioning really reveal how shallow his critical thinking capacities are

That's a crazy definition of fascism. And by the way, if Stalinism wasn't fascism nothing is!!!

To compare Trump with other Presidents, as if it’s the same with all of them, is really rich.
