Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor have released a new book examining a troubling development within far-right movements, which they characterize as "end times fascism." Their work contends that this ideology is emerging amid global crises such as pandemics, climate change, resource conflicts, and disruptive technologies. According to Klein and Taylor, this phenomenon unites a fractured coalition ranging from messianic venture capitalists to religious leaders wielding military influence, all sharing a belief that the world is approaching collapse and that only a select few are worthy of survival.

The authors argue that this shift represents a dangerous departure in right-wing politics, reflecting a nihilistic response to systemic threats facing humanity. They suggest that some political and corporate figures have willingly abandoned commitments to the planet’s collective future, embracing exclusionary and apocalyptic narratives instead.

To complement their written analysis, Klein and Taylor collaborated with filmmakers Emma Dessau, Austin Bedell, and P. Nick Curran on a companion video. This film includes testimony from individuals associated with the end times fascist movement and emphasizes the imperative for broader society to resist these divisive ideologies by reaffirming solidarity and care for the environment.

The book, titled *End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World*, was scheduled for release on September 15 through Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Klein is a columnist for a major U.S. publication, a professor specializing in climate justice, and co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia. Taylor, meanwhile, is known for her work as a writer, organizer, and documentary maker, and she co-founded the Debt Collective.

Their work brings attention to how far-right factions are adapting their rhetoric and strategies in the face of global upheavals, framing their survivalist approach as a clear challenge to environmental and social justice movements worldwide.
