Economic Freedom Fighters[edit]

I am about to remove the South African Economic Freedom Fighters from this list for two reasons: first, there has been no consensus on the party's article about characterising it as a fascist party, and I think we should await such consensus; and second, the citations here are not sufficient to support the categorisation. I have looked at the ten citations used and they show that four people have argued the EFF should be viewed as fascist: one, Vishwas Satgar, in an academic article, and three others (Gareth van Onselen, Adam Habib, and Prince Mashele) in newspaper columns (only one of which, van Onselen's, makes the argument in any detail). Here are the citations:

  • checkY Satgar, Vishwas (5 November 2019). "Black Neofascism? The Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa". Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue Canadienne de Sociologie. 56 (4): 580–605. doi:10.1111/cars.12265. ISSN 1755-6171. PMID 31692263. S2CID 207894048. Archived from the original on 23 October 2022. Retrieved 23 October 2022. – Satgar argues that existing conceptualisations of fascism are too narrow to capture the new fascism of parties like the EFF.
  • checkY Gareth van Onselen (2018-03-26). "Why The EFF Is A Fascist Political Party by Gareth van Onselen, 26 March 2018 | South African History Online". Sahistory.org.za. Archived from the original on 28 November 2020. Retrieved 2021-11-19. – This was the start of a lot of the EFF fascism discourse. In an opinion piece in HuffPost, van Onselen uses Ur-Fascism to argue that The EFF is a fascist party and Malema is a fascist. I would note that van Onselen is the former director of communications for the opposition Democratic Alliance.
  • checkY "No country for appeasers as fascism rises in South Afri..." 17 December 2019. Archived from the original on 13 November 2020. Retrieved 20 November 2020. Habib argues in the Daily Maverick that At the core of the political project of the EFF and the Zuma faction of the ANC is crude nativism manifested in virulent racism, and even sometimes in a retreat into one or other version of ethnic traditionalism. Yet the problem is not only in the manifest examples of racism of these political actors. It is also in the militarism, complacency about violence, and the valorisation of the individual leader, all of which when coupled with the nativism essentially transforms these beliefs and behaviour into a fascist political project. The most dramatic symbolic display of this fascism was at the EFF conference when a large group of delegates sang and kneeled in front of the professed commander-in-chief. He, of course, disassociated himself from this behaviour, but his actions as leader of the party, including his fondness for spectacle and invoking of violent imagery, essentially created the party script for such behaviour.
  • checkY "EFF's fascist agenda rapidly clarifies itself through Malema's racial outbursts". Archived from the original on 19 November 2020. Retrieved 20 November 2020. – In his Sowetan column, Prince Mashele argues that In a nutshell, the EFF is a modern fascist party that pursues the same-old national-socialist ideology through violence under the spell of a personality cult.
  • ☒N "Political analyst: EFF is a fascist organisation". POWER 98.7. 3 July 2018. Archived from the original on 10 November 2020. Retrieved 2021-11-19. – This is Mashele rehashing his column on the radio the morning after it was published.
  • ☒N "Fascism and the EFF: Or how to gaslight the media - The Mail & Guardian". 28 March 2018. Archived from the original on 28 November 2020. Retrieved 20 November 2020. – The writer says at the outset that the EFF is not a fascist political party. This article is angry response to those who call the EFF fascist: Van Onselen’s argument is an ideologically inconsistent mess... It is notable that these lists of symptoms that have been drawn to point out fascism in the EFF miss exactly those in organised, white nationalist formations such as AfriForum.
  • checkY "The EFF's wrecking ball politics is fascist rather than left - The Mail & Guardian". 4 April 2017. Archived from the original on 14 November 2020. Retrieved 20 November 2020. – In an early version of his 'Black Neofascism?' argument (above), Vishwas Satgar writes that The EFF is not fascist in the 20th-century sense, but is certainly expressing elements of a 21st-century fascism in its role in South African politics. It is pioneering an original fascism in the South African context.
  • ☒N Haffajee, Ferial (2020-09-13). "ANALYSIS: From schoolyard bullies to emerging fascists: The EFF's unstoppable politics of violence". Daily Maverick. Archived from the original on 10 November 2020. Retrieved 2022-02-09. – Apart from the clickbait title, this article refers to fascism once: Outgoing Wits vice-chancellor Adam Habib has shown the folly of such a position in this essay which likens the EFF’s tactics to early forms of fascism.
    • For the record, Habib's essay (a companion to his article above) holds: This combination of nativist ideas, crude racism and violence, essentially constitutes the building blocks for a new post-apartheid fascist political project in South Africa. (my emphasis).
  • ☒N "Democracy, fascism and the future of the EFF". www.news.uct.ac.za. Archived from the original on 20 January 2022. Retrieved 2022-02-09.UKZN academic Imraan Buccus, in a lecture for a popular audience, concludes that in large part... the EFF is not fascist (because it accepts constitutionalism and the rule of law), although there are elements of fascism in the behaviour of the EFF.
  • ☒NSatgar, Vishwas (2019). "Black Neofascism? The Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa". Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue Canadienne de Sociologie. 56 (4): 580–605. doi:10.1111/cars.12265. PMID 31692263. S2CID 207894048 – via ResearchGate. – This is a repeated citation.

Hope this makes sense to everyone. If not, I think the EFF–fascism conversation should probably be had at Talk:Economic Freedom Fighters. Jlalbion (talk) 14:16, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
