With the recent re-election of Donald Trump, authoritarian strategies targeting dissent have again come to the forefront. In this special edition of A Podcast for Radicals, we explore how authoritarian leaders worldwide—past and present—have borrowed and adapted each other's methods to consolidate power and suppress opposition. From historical U.S. policies that influenced Nazi Germany to modern tools of surveillance, censorship, and intimidation, we examine the shared playbook of authoritarianism. By recognizing these patterns, we can better prepare to counter and resist.

This episode is part of A Guide for Radicals, a comprehensive resource on radicalism, history, and collective action for dismantling oppressive systems.

In this episode of A Podcast for Radicals, we explore how movements worldwide reimagine freedom, equality, and justice in radical thought.
