ABSTRACT
This article was inspired by a sense of the urgency of current events about the intersection of individual and sociopolitical pathology and about fascism as a multilayered distortion of reality. It takes the position that fascism is pathological on both levels and that psychopathology, exacerbated by social tensions and increasing uncertainty, is an appropriate lens through which to look at fascism. It explores the boundaries of fascism as a category in contrast to a universal trait of fluctuating intensity.
