Description

"This book is a parent’s trusted companion through roiling political waters, and just in time. A skillful, urgent and loving intervention.”
—Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger

From Conspirituality co-host Matthew Remski: A timely, bold, and necessary guide for parents who want to fight the rise of fascism and right-wing extremism—starting at home.


From hit shows like Adolescence to hand-wringing pieces in The Atlantic, we’re being told that today’s boys are not ok. The algorithm feeds manosphere content straight to their screens. Brofluencers sell alpha answers to complex problems. And far-right radicalization is at a fever pitch.

But if there’s a crisis among young people in 2026, it won’t be solved by talking about them. We should be talking to them: about their needs, their fears, the world they’re inheriting…and what they can do about it. We also need to get clear about why fascism appeals, and why it doesn’t get anyone closer to real friendship, belonging, empowerment, or self-worth. How, despite what the manosphere tells them, it's the opposite of cool.

Conspirituality co-host Matthew Remski explores 12 urgent conversations for antifascist homes. He breaks down complex ideas in age-appropriate ways to help families understand:

  • The cultural, political, and economic landscape we’re in—and why the alt-right mirror world is so seductive to this generation of young people
  • Body-based tools and emotional regulation techniques to help kids ground their nervous systems
  • Strategies for practical community defense, moral courage, and defining your own role in antifascism
  • How to stand with marginalized classmates and scapegoated communities
  • The intersections of capitalism, fascism, cult dynamics, and schoolyard politics
  • Why fear-based, authoritarian, or condescending parenting styles backfire
  • What antifascism has to do with equity, ethics, and belonging—and why it’s relevant to discussions of porn, consent, intimacy, embodiment, and gender

This book is written from Remski’s own perspective as a dad. It will resonate with parents and kids of all genders, but it hits especially hard for parents of boys—the kids most actively targeted by alt-right messaging, who must think hard about who they are within the system that makes them; about who they will stand with in dangerous times; and about what they need to learn to create safety, care, and community.

Advance Praise

“Because being antifascist is intergenerational work and begins at home, Antifascist Dad is necessary reading for all of us, especially adults who are in proximity of a child or youth. Throughout the book, Remski not only thoroughly lays out the various ideologies and forms of life that pave the way for fascism to take root, but also shows that we too are implicated in keeping these roots in place. This is because fascism is not only something that exists outside of us; it lurks in our own ways of being and is smuggled into our relationships. In short: Antifascist Dad reminds us that it begins both with ourselves and at home with our kids. This is how we deepen bonds and start to uproot fascism from our worlds, hopefully for good.”

— CARLA JOY BERGMAN, editor of Trust Kids! and coauthor of Joyful Militancy


“For the antifascist movement to succeed, there must be room for all of us in the struggle. Antifascist Dad shows us how. Nuanced, accessible, culturally attuned, and warm, this invaluable guide from Matthew Remski shows us how everyday antifascism is not only necessary, but eminently possible.”
