Nonya Bidniss 🥥🌴@anneapplebaum I listened to your discussion yesterday & enjoyed it, if enjoyed is the right word for the subject matter 😟 ... I do recommend it, let's put it that way!
Ken M Sweeney@anneapplebaum hi Anne, can I chat with you about a guest spot on my podcast?

Christina Davis@anneapplebaum Loved this conversation especially your point about how our financial system is enabling autocrats. Amazing how much time is spent blaming social media, while zero time is spent scrutinizing our financial system.

klausfiend has moved@anneapplebaum This was a great listen, but as a layperson, not a historian/political scientist, I'm struggling with a question: _modern_ fascism goes hand-in-glove with political/economic corruption, but was that always the case? We know Mussolini didn't really make trains run on time, but didn't the Nazis punish their own, even for things like stealing from prisoners? Did Il Duce, Franco, Salazar, Hitler, etc., also have people like Bannon or Manafort? Or are they a new feature in Fascism 2.0?
