This book interrogates how capitalism is destroying democracy through the commodification of everything into market democracy, and affirms the need to reclaim and re-build expansive democracy.Destroying Democracy, volume six of the Democratic Marxism series, focuses on how decades of neoliberal capitalism have eroded the global democratic project and how, in the process, rising authoritarianism is expressing itself in divisive and exclusionary politics, populist political parties and movements, increased distrust in fact-based information and news, and the withering accountability of state institutions. Over the last four decades, democracy has radically shifted to a market democracy in which all aspects of human, non-human and planetary life are commodified and corporations have become more powerful than states and their citizens. This is how neoliberal capitalism functions at a systemic level and if left unchecked, is the greatest threat to democracy and a sustainable planet. The authors home in on four country cases – India, Brazil, South Africa and the United States of America to interrogate issues of politics, ecology, state security, media, access to information and political parties, and affirm the need to reclaim and re-build an expansive and inclusive democracy. The book is an invaluable resource for all who are interested in understanding the threats to democracy and the rising tide of authoritarianism in the global south and the global north.Acknowledgements Acronyms and Abbreviations Preface: Neoliberal Capitalism in the Time of Covid-19: Destroying Democracy and Rising Authoritarianism – Michelle Williams and Vishwas Satgar Part I: Neoliberal Capitalism’s Destruction of Democracy Chapter 1 The Crisis of Democracy: Neoliberal Capitalism, Authoritarianism and Reclaiming Democracy – Michelle Williams Chapter 2 The Rise of Eco-Fascism – Vishwas Satgar Part II: Neoliberal Capitalism Against Democracy Globally Chapter 3 Populism and Fascism: Lessons from the 1920s Ku Klux Klan – Linda Gordon Chapter 4 What Do ‘Unruly’ Right-Wing Authoritarian Nationalists Do When They Rule?

The xenophobic attacks that started in Alexandra, Johannesburg in May 2008 before quickly spreading around the country caused an outcry across the world and raised many fundamental questions: Of what profound social malaise is xenophobia – and the violence that it inspires – a symptom? Have our economic and political choices created new forms of exclusion that fuel anger and distrust? What consequences does the emergence of xenophobia hold for the idea of an equal, non-racial society as symbolised by a democratic South Africa? Go Home or Die Here hopes to make sense of the nuances and trajectories of building a democratic society out of a deeply divided and conflictual past, in the conditions of global recession, heightening inequalities and future uncertainty. The authors hoped to pose questions that would lead both to research and to more informed, reflective forms of public action. With extensive photographs by award-winning photographer Alon Skuy, who covered the violence for The Times newspaper, the volume is passionate and engaged, and aims to stimulate reflection, debate and activism among concerned members of a broad public.Foreword – Bishop Paul Verryn Introduction – Eric Worby, Shireen Hassim and Tawana Kupe Chapter 1 A Torn Narrative of Violence – Alex Eliseev Chapter 2 I Did Not Expect Such a Thing to Happen – Rolf Maruping Chapter 3 (Dis)connections: Elite and Popular ‘Common Sense’ on the Matter of ‘Foreigners’ – Daryl Glaser Chapter 4 Xenophobia in Alexandra – Noor Nieftagodien Chapter 5 Behind Xenophobia in South Africa – Poverty or Inequality? – Stephen Gelb Chapter 6 Relative Deprivation, Social Instability and Cultures of Entitlement – Devan Pillay Chapter 7 Violence, Condemnation, and the Meaning of Living in South Africa – Loren B Landau Chapter 8 Crossing Borders – David Coplan Chapter 9 Policing Xenophobia – Xenophobic Policing: A Clash of Legitimacy – Julia Hornberger Chapter 10 Housing Delivery, the Urban Crisis and Xenophobia – Melinda Silverman and Tanya Zack Chapter 11 Two Newspapers, Two Nations?
