Anarcho-capitalism: Some Remarks on the Fascist Desire of Our Neoliberalism

A novel form of fascism emerges on a global scale: a form of maximal capitalism that undermines all communitarian modes of existence. These contemporary expressions, it can be argued, are rooted in micropolitical desire and are therefore analogous to the historical fascisms of Hitler and Mussolini. However, unlike their predecessors, they no longer aspire to embody themselves in a state form; rather, they aim at its dismantling. This study argues that the new fascism functions as a structural pillar supporting the anarcho-capitalist variant of contemporary neoliberalism, distinguishing it from a fascism that relies on a maximalist State, as described by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus. While the authors of that text identify Chile as an instance of anarcho-capitalism, we contend that this model is currently implemented in Argentina under the leadership of President Javier Milei. The following discussion will demonstrate how, in Latin America, these new forms of fascism coexist with state formations shaped by revolutionary desire, thereby enabling the flourishing of minorities.
