Fascism in the United States is an expression of fascist political ideology that dates back over a century in the United States, with roots in white supremacy, nativism, and violent political extremism. Although it has had less scholarly attention than fascism in Europe, particularly Nazi Germany, scholars say that far-right authoritarian movements have long been a part of the political landscape of the U.S.[1]
Scholars point to early 20th-century groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and domestic proto-fascist organizations that existed during the Great Depression as the origins of fascism in the U.S. These groups flourished amid social and political unrest.[1] Alongside homegrown movements, German-backed political formations during World War II worked to influence U.S. public opinion towards the Nazi cause. After the U.S.'s formal declaration of war against Germany, the U.S. Treasury Department raided the German American Bund's headquarters and arrested its leaders. Both during and after World War II, Italian anti-fascist activists and other anti-fascist groups played a role in confronting these ideologies.
Events such as the 2017 Charlottesville rally have exposed the persistance of racism, antisemitism, and white supremacy within U.S. society. The resurgence of fascist rhetoric in contemporary U.S. politics, particularly under the administration of Donald Trump, has highlighted the persistence of far-right ideologies and it has also rekindled questions and debates surrounding fascism in the United States.[1]
