The review analyzes El fascismo subalterno (2025) by Ildefonso Finol, a work that dissects fascism in Latin America not as a European replica, but as a neocolonial mechanism subordinated to imperialism. From a Marxist and Bolivarian perspective, Finol examines how this “hybrid warfare technology” utilizes the facade of freedom to perpetuate economic and cultural dependence. The author links historical milestones, such as the Caracazo and the 2002 coup, with contemporary phenomena, denouncing a dominance strategy that seeks to occupy the popular imaginary. Beyond the denunciation, the text proposes an anti-fascist and revolutionary education as a tool for liberation and mental decolonization. Ultimately, Finol's work stands as an indispensable plea and an urgent call for collective survival against the advance of cynicism and imperialist control in the region.
