I generally like Reich and I certainly agree with his conclusion here, but tbh I feel like this video is not great work. Some of the warning signs he calls out are generally accepted as markers of fascism, but to my mind it would have been better if he had hewed closer to the generally accepted tenets of Ur-Fascism, as outlined by Umberto Eco. It might have made for a longer video, but by fitting Trump to a framework established long before his rise, it avoids some of the just-so nature of the claims Reich lodges against him. Just my $.02.
