4/ 🔹 Fascism reimagined: intergenerational legacies in post-war Europe by @pablo1981.bsky.social and @carlosdomper.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0031... In our introduction, we argue that fascist legacies after 1945 can only be understood through generational dynamics.

5/ After WWII, many fascists believed their only chance of survival was to engage younger people. Yet they faced a paradox: the new generations often saw their ideas as outdated or absurd. This tension shaped the evolution of postwar far-right networks.

6/ We show that neofascism in the 1960s–1980s emerged partly from these intergenerational dynamics. Older activists transmitted myths and memories. Younger militants adapted them to changing contexts and new political languages.

7/ Thus, we argue that generations acted as mediators of memory, identity and ideology. They helped fascist narratives survive defeat and reappear in unexpected forms across Europe.

8/ Unlike most studies focused on single countries, we propose a comparative approach, examining Italy, Spain, Britain and Croatian diasporas. Generational analysis is key to understanding continuity and transformation.

10/ This article examines how the Croatian diaspora in Argentina transmitted memories and political ideas across generations after WWII. Thousands of Croats fled after 1945, including leaders of the Ustaša regime, settling in Argentina.

11/ These communities built a collective memory presenting the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) as the fulfillment of an ancient national aspiration. They reimagined themselves as victims of communism and defenders of Croatian independence.
