About event
What is fascism, how did it come about and why is it important to understand it even today? Come to a lecture by renowned historian, Associate Professor Jakub Drábik, who will guide you through one of the most significant political phenomena of modern history.
The word "fascism" is heard everywhere today - in newspapers, on social networks, in political debates. But do we know what it really means? Historian Jakub Drábik, author of the extensive book Fascism (Epocha, 2026), will focus on the key question in his lecture: what fascism is and what fascism is not. Fascism is not just dictatorship, brutality or radical nationalism. It is a specific ideology with its own internal logic: the belief in the decline of the nation and the necessity of its violent rebirth, the revolutionary rejection of both liberalism and socialism, the cult of the "new man" and the organic community. Without understanding these basics, the word "fascism" can mean almost anything. However, this will make the word meaningless. The lecture will show how fascism works as an ideology, why it attracted millions of people, and why precise definitions are not just an academic game, but the key to understanding the past and the present.
