    • 2019, David Broder, transl., The New Faces of Fascism [] , Verso Books, translation of Les Nouveaux visages du fascisme [] , by Enzo Traverso, →ISBN, page 6:
      Postfascism should also be distinguised from neofascism, that is, the attempt to perpetuate and regenerate old fascism. [] Postfascism is something else: in most cases, it does indeed come from a classical fascist background, but it has now changed its forms.
