“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.

“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

“This isn’t just a great way to raise kids but a great way of thinking about how we raise ourselves to be fully human beings in a world increasingly programmed to prevent it. This sort of resistance isn’t futile—it’s necessary.”
—Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human

“There is an alternative to the abysmal outcome many of us fear; this book provides part of the map to get there.”
—Michelle Cassandra Johnson, antiracism teacher and author of The Wisdom of the Hive

“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

“Nuanced, accessible, culturally attuned, and warm, this invaluable guide from Matthew Remski shows us how everyday antifascism is not only necessary but eminently possible.”
—Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook

“Beautifully written and painfully necessary … essential reading for everyone who fears for the future our children are growing up into—not only as a guide to parenting through the crisis but also for our ability to understand the crisis ourselves.”
—Benjamin S. Case, author of Street Rebellion

“An unflinching analysis of the ways fascist tactics and rhetoric have become the norm in the male influencer industry and practical ways to provide other models, to talk with young people, and generally to decode the messages that are enveloping all of us, all the time…. One gets the impression that they are reading an author whose ferocious tenderness will help us find a way forward marked by flourishing and wonder rather than aggression and reduction. I can’t recommend it enough.”
—Brad Onishi, scholar of Christian nationalism and cohost of the Straight White American Jesus podcast
