In his well-known 1995 essay the Italian thinker Umberto Eco names fourteen common features of fascism as an alarming phenomenon no matter which form it takes and when. We will examine this claim and ask of the historical substance of fascism while discussing the recurrent allure of it from a philosophical, psychoanalytical, aesthetic, and politico-economical perspective. We consider how Fascism emerged as a reactionary revolution to resolve crises of modern bourgeois society.
