The Great Driving Right Show: Cars, Crisis, and the Rise of Fossil Fascism (Salvage Editions) - Softcover
Synopsis
Apocalypse is in the air. And the far right knows it. Since the pandemic, it has successfully cultivated crises, conspiracy theories, and coalitions to fight a green energy transition. Mobilising online and in the streets, far-right actors cast decarbonisation measures as a 'war on cars' endangering individual liberty, the nuclear family, the nation, and western civilisation.
In The Great Driving Right Show, the Zetkin Collective traces the evolution of these conflicts and shows how, as the climate crisis worsens, the political right constructs an 'inverted crisis' in which climate action - not climate change - represents the gravest existential threat. Rising through this shared strategy are movements and parties from anti-road-pricing saboteurs, 'freedom' convoys and farmers' protests, to the Trump-led opposition to electric vehicles. Powering such actors are not only fossil-fuel and automobile interests, but an ever-expanding cycle of moral panics about climate and racial justice protesters, trans people, and migrants.
With the planet at stake, we must confront the new climate denialism and the violent mobility regime fuelling the rise of fossil fascism.

The Great Driving Right Show (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Since the pandemic, there has been a growth of conspiracies that centre on the so-called 'war on cars'. The far right argue that government measures to reduce fossil fuels are a stealth attack on ordinary people's individual liberty, the nuclear family, the energy-secure nation, and the people. And they have come out both online and the streets, in opposition to urbanist policies such as the '15-Minute City', ULEZ [Ultra Low Emission Zones] and LTN [Low Traffic Neighbourhoods], alongside rural movements across Europe that feel that they have been ignored in favour of the city. Such protests also fold in attacks on the family, gender and reinforce paranoia around 'the Great Replacement'. In The Great Driving Right Show, the Zetkin Collective unpacks the origins of these conflicts and shows how, as the climate crisis worsens, the political right has inverted the narrative, treating solutions as more threatening than the crisis itself. This eventually evolves in attacks on Electric Vehicles, increased oil production and attacks on minorities. How the car become the battleground at the centre of the climate change culture wars. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781836740971
