I'm Amy Goodman.

As we bring you part two of our conversation with Jason Stanley, author and professor

of philosophy at Yale University, his new book is titled Erasing History, how fascist

rewrite the past to control the future. He's also the author of

how fascism works, the politics of us and them. Thanks so much for staying with us.

In this part of the conversation I want to get into. Thanks so much for staying with us.

In this part of the conversation,

I want to get into a project 2025,

and also the Great Replacement Theory.

laying out the thesis of your book.

The thesis of my book is that a certain kind of erasing history justifies actions by authoritarian leaders such as

cutting down voting for minority populations such as justifying state violence in the case of the

United States against immigrants in the case of say India against Muslims

and in Israel against Palestinians.

Vladimir Putin recently blurbed my book.

He said, Wars are won by teachers.

You can see that from the Russian textbooks in 2022 for example.

They completely justify the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
