Christian Fuchs
DIGITAL DEMAGOGUE:
Authoritarian Capitalism
in the Age of Trump and Twitter
Thursday, March 1, 2018
19:00
University of Westminster
309 Regent Street
London W1B 2HW
117 Boardroom
Organised by Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies,
Communication and Media Research Institute and Pluto Press.
Christian Fuchs will be giving an introductory talk on Digital Demagogue, a timely and topical study of the expressions of ideology, nationalism, and authoritarianism in the age of big data, social media, and Donald Trump.
We are all familiar with the ways that Donald Trump uses digital media to communicate, from the ridiculous to the terrifying. This book digs deeper into the use of those tools in politics to show how they have facilitated the rise of authoritarianism, nationalism, and right-wing ideologies around the world.
Christian Fuchs applies an updated theoretical framework that draws on thinkers such as Franz L. Neumann, Rosa Luxemburg, Theodor W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer, Wilhelm Reich, Leo Löwenthal and Klaus Theweleit, to show the pernicious role of social media in the hands of nationalist politicians.

By deciphering capitalist social forms of dependence of the political sphere relative to society, Marx discovers sociopolitics. Within it, the nexus between politics and social life occurs in a double key. On one side, politics is taken in its social dependence; on the other side, the focus must shift to the very social form determined by this dependence. In sociopolitics, as a domination structure commanding social reproduction, power is in an immanent relation to the social forms of production in society. Beyond coercion or convincing, the social sphere is in itself political, with its common social objective condition of organization in a social-determined form. Marcuse follows Marx interpretation. For him, the objective condition characterizes a society as dependency on capital.
Al descifrar las formas sociales capitalistas de dependencia de la esfera política en relación conla sociedad, Marx descubre la sociopolítica. Dentro de ella, el nexo entre la política y la vida social se produce en una doble clave. Por un lado, la política es enfocadaen su dependencia social,por otro lado, el foco debe cambiar hacialaforma social determinada por esta dependencia. En la socio-política, en cuantoestructura de dominación que controla la reproducción social, el poder está en una relación inmanente conlas formas sociales de pro-ducción en la sociedad. Más allá de la coerción o de la convicción, la esfera social es en sí misma política, con su condición objetiva socialde organización en una forma social determinada.Marcuse sigue la interpretación de Marx. Para él, la condición objetiva caracteriza a una sociedad encuantodepen-dencia del capital.
