本文探讨了在何种程度上英国国防联盟（EDL）可能被认为是法西斯的形式和意识形态。首先，它比较了EDL和两次世界大战之间意大利的中队。其次，它探讨了如何在EDL谈判一个新的政治方向，因为它加入了英国自由党（BFP）的力量。通过采用罗杰·格里芬概述的法西斯主义理论框架，这部作品主张，EDL已经将其单一问题的反伊斯兰主义平台转变为更大的“再生极端民族主义”话语的一部分。有鉴于此，我们认为该组织再也不能否认法西斯意识形态的存在。
This paper examines the extent to which the English Defence League (EDL) may be considered fascist in form and ideology. First, it draws comparisons between the EDL and the squadristi of interwar Italy. Second, it explores how the EDL has negotiated a new political direction as it joins forces with the British Freedom Party (BFP). By adopting a theoretical framework of fascism as outlined by Roger Griffin, this work advocates that the EDL has transformed its single- issue anti- Islamist platform into part of a larger discourse of ` palingenetic ultranationalism'. In light of this we argue the organization can no longer deny the presence of a fascist ideology.
