Manual Antifascista de Mongolia: satirical guide to combat far-right in digital age

publication · 2026-07-08

The satirical magazine Mongolia has released 'Manual Antifascista de Mongolia', a guide using humor to identify and fight the resurgence of authoritarian ideas in the digital society. The book arrives amid a global rise of far-right movements, which now spread through screens and algorithms rather than military marches. Darío Adanti, co-founder of Mongolia, argues that laughter is a weapon against the far-right, which he describes as dangerous yet objectively ridiculous. The publication follows a legal victory for far-right group HazteOir, which reopened a case against Mongolia over a satirical nativity scene. The manual aims to equip readers with tools to counter reactionary narratives in an era of media noise and simplified discourse.
