In his captivating book, \"To Fight Against This Age,\" Rob Riemens delves into the global resurgence of fascism, disguised in the false promises of freedom and greatness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRiemens' response to the spiritual crisis of our time is a poignant tale about the universal essence of European humanism, with its values of truth, justice, beauty, and love for life as the foundation of a democratic civilization. This book is a must-read for those who seek to understand and transform the world around them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his exploration, Riemens challenges the notion that fascism is solely a product of the 20th century and argues that it has deep historical roots. He traces the origins of fascism to the aftermath of World War I, when a sense of disillusionment and frustration led to the rise of authoritarian regimes. Riemens also explores the role of propaganda, nationalism, and the fear of change in perpetuating fascism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his insightful analysis, Riemens offers a roadmap for fighting against the resurgence of fascism. He emphasizes the importance of education, critical thinking, and the promotion of democratic values. He also calls for a global movement to confront fascism, including the establishment of institutions and networks to monitor and counter fascist rhetoric and actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"To Fight Against This Age\" is a powerful and thought-provoking book that provides a comprehensive understanding of fascism and its implications for our world. It is a call to action for individuals and communities to stand up against the forces of hatred and oppression and to work towards a more just and peaceful future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 206g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 123 x 191 x 18 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780393635867\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rob Riemen","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100134863098,"sku":"9780393635867","price":13.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1dc62a0f801cac344a5af84ce8a6a17b.jpg?v=1630380826","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/to-fight-against-this-age-on-fascism-and-humanism","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
