It is a dangerous shift that is linked to our era of existential crises, defined by its pandemics, climate emergencies, resource wars and rogue tech. Today\u2019s fascists are part of a dangerous and fractious alliance \u2013 from messianic venture capitalists to army-controlling theocrats \u2013 united by the belief that the end of the world is upon us and that only a chosen few deserve to be saved. That is the thesis of Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor\u2019s new book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Since it can be hard to believe that political and corporate leaders would actively give up on our shared future on this singular planet, they also collaborated with film-makers Emma Dessau, Austin Bedell and P Nick Curran to create a video in which we hear directly from many of the people behind this threat \u2013 and outline why this is the moment for the rest of us to commit to each other and our shared home. The Guardian is pleased to share it for the first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/us.macmillan.com\/books\/9780374621384\/endtimesfascism\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World<\/a> is out 15 September via Farrar, Straus and Giroux<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Naomi Klein is a Guardian US columnist and contributing writer.
