Yesterday, @rtvecom.bsky.social broadcasted the documentary "Madrid Puerta de Escape". The film, which can now be accessed through the Spanish television's website RtvePlay, is special to me because the script was based on my own research. A brief thread about the experience and the outcome.

¿Puede la historia escribirse sin historiadores? En un mundo donde la inteligencia artificial genera imágenes, textos y recreaciones del pasado en segundos, la pregunta ya no es retórica. El problema es urgente👇

27/ 📝 Conclusions – Generations and the legacies of fascism by @pablo1981.bsky.social and @carlosdomper.bsky.social The conclusions reflect on how studying generations helps us understand the persistence and transformation of fascist ideas after 1945.

Pablo del Hierro reposted

Carlos Domper Lasús

29/ The concept of generation allows us to see how memories, symbols and narratives were transmitted, contested or reinvented across decades. It highlights both continuities and critical breaks in fascist legacies.

30/ We call for comparative approaches that connect different national cases and periods, rather than treating fascist afterlives as isolated phenomena. Only this way can we fully understand their impact on contemporary politics.

28/ We argue that fascism did not end definitively in 1945. Many militants reimagined their ideology and adapted it to new contexts, while younger generations inherited myths and resentments that shaped neofascist projects.

25/ Canales shows that young university Falangists sought to modernize the movement’s language and adapt it to the 1960s, while still claiming loyalty to the founding myths of the Civil War.

26/ The study reveals that these efforts created tensions with conservative sectors of the regime. At the same time, they helped maintain a distinct Falangist identity that would shape memory and self-perception for decades.

23/ The study highlights how younger militants embraced counter-culture, white power music and “national revolutionary” ideas. This generational shift transformed the British extreme right’s strategies, networks and cultural identity.

24/Political education for post-war generations: The vocation, reorganization and memory of Spanish university Falangism (1956–1965) by @canales-ciudad.bsky.social‬ ‬‬‬ explores how Falangist student organizations tried to renew their ideology and identity through generational dialogue.

21/ 🇬🇧 Inter-generational conflict and the transformation of the British extreme right by @grahammacklin.bsky.social‬ (‪@crexuio.bsky.social‬) ‬‬‬analyses how generational tensions shaped the British National Front in the 1970s, when the far right tried to reinvent itself amid electoral failures.

22/ Macklin shows that young activists born after WWII increasingly clashed with the older leadership over ideology, tactics and culture. These conflicts led to the creation of the Young National Front in 1977 as a separate youth wing.

19/ Faust shows that many young activists grew up in households where fathers were fascist veterans portrayed as heroes and victims. These family narratives created strong emotional bonds and made it difficult to critically question their parents’ past.

20/ The study reveals that intergenerational dynamics—admiration, resentment, loyalty—played a crucial role in sustaining neofascist culture. In some cases, this legacy drove young militants to embrace violent activism as a form of continuity and revenge.

18/ 🇮🇹 Post-war Fascism in Italy from an Intergenerational Perspective: The Legacy of Fascist Veterans for the Generation of Fascist Activists during the Years of Lead by Lene Faust (@unibe.ch)

This article examines how family legacies shaped the radicalization of young neofascists during Italy’s Years of Lead, a period of intense political violence in the 1970s.

16/ Priorelli shows that the “old” Blackshirts, who had marched in 1922, framed the date as an epic national rebirth. After 1945, younger MSI activists reinvented the celebration to claim continuity with fascism, despite the fall of the regime and the rise of democracy.

17/ The study demonstrates how rituals and anniversaries helped transmit symbols and legitimacy from veterans to a new generation. By adapting the narrative, neofascists reframed defeat as a source of identity and moral authority in republican Italy.

14/ The article draws on extensive archival research from Argentina, Croatia and Serbia, as well as interviews with diaspora members. It reveals how memory and identity were actively constructed and sustained over decades.

15/ 🇮🇹 Celebrating the March on Rome over time (1920s–1960s) by Giorgia Priorelli (‪@univgirona.bsky.social‬)‬‬‬ This article explores how the anniversary of the March on Rome became a central ritual for Italian fascism and neofascism, shaping collective memory across two generations of militants.

12/ Through Cold War alliances and anti-communist networks in Argentina, they gained legitimacy and reframed their past as democratic struggle, silencing uncomfortable aspects of collaboration with the Nazis.

13/ Zidek shows that this narrative was transmitted almost unchanged across generations. Each cohort adapted it slightly to their context, but the core story of victimhood and heroism remained stable.

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.

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.

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.

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.
