Abstract
The article revisits the studies on The Authoritarian Personality to recover part of Theodor W. Adorno’s and the Frankfurt School’s diagnosis of fascism in light of current political events. It also discusses how fascism presents itself as a subjectively lived experience based on the concept of “authoritarian personality” and not just as a set of ideas from which the “fascist ideology” is formed.
