Sažetak
This article examines socio-political consequences of the heritage of one of the historical totalitarian concepts. It is a phenomenon of “fascism”. Does fascism have any theoretical, but also practical actuality in the contemporary “new world order”? With the pre-assumption that it is the matter of fact, certain argumentation strategies of explanation of the appearance of fascism in present days are imposed. Question in the title paraphrases titles of two important books. It is a book by Giorgio Agamben, Remnants of Auschwitz, and a collection of essays by Rastko Močnik, collected under the title How Much Fascism? This article tries to elaborate this selfimposed subject through the issue of “biopolitics”. For this purpose, as an inspiring model, the theory of immunization/immunitarity presented by the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito is used. Through that theory a structural inevitability of fascism in the framework of neo-liberalism shows itself in the (auto)immunitarian paradigm. The “quantitative” reduction of fascism is related to the policy of solidarity and public sphere (through the community).
