Abstract
This dissertation examines the rise and fall of fascist movements from past to present. It is inspired by the emergence of “neo-fascism” in this country and the successes of far-right movements globally. In it, I deploy “Critical Coxian Theory” in novel ways to better understand the antecedents to fascism’s 20th century successes and failures. Specifically, I examine fascism from the 1920s-1940s in both Italy and Canada. Finally, I examine the contemporary Canadian climate and examine purportedly “fascist” movements here. Ultimately, this dissertation operationalizes theory in novel ways, offers a revision of existing fascist taxonomies, conducts a novel examination of Italian and Canadian histories, and examines the potential for future fascist or neo-fascist successes in Canada.
