Ep. 06 British fascism came from Colonialism

In this episode, we are joined by Associate Professor Liam Liburd from Durham University. The episode was recorded in the immediate aftermath of the race riots across Britain in 2024. Ever wondered what the relationship is between colonialism and fascist, far right movements? We explore the origins of British fascism and how the first fascists in Britain were often colonial officers who had served in the colonies. The discussion emphasizes the interconnectedness of the struggle against fascism and colonialism, noting that some of the earliest anti-colonial movements in Britain arose in response to the rise of fascism, both within the colonies and the metropole. Furthermore, we examine how anti-fascism has historically been linked with anti-colonialism, particularly among colonised, black, and brown communities. You cant understand the rise of the far-right, without understanding colonialism.
