From Brasília to Budapest, a global network of far-right forces has grown to include parties and politicians, judges and journalists, foundations and financiers, academics and oligarchs. This is the Reactionary International — far more powerful, and far more insidious, than figureheads like Donald Trump and Javier Milei could ever be on their own. But how does the Reactionary International actually work? And why has it been so successful in advancing the agenda of the far right across the world?
In the latest episode of “The International” — the world-spanning video series brought to you by Jacobin and the @ProgIntl — renowned journalist Matt Kennard sets out the tactics that are propelling the global far right to power, and how we can fight back.
