Summary/Abstract: Gáspár Miklós Tamás has been one of the best-known Hungarian intellec-tuals and critics of the policies of the Victor Orban government in recent years. His anal-ysis of the phenomenon of the migration crisis was reflected in his concept of “post-fas-cism”. It is difficult to understand it without reference to his other works and a systematic reconstruction. The article problematises this notion in the perspective of the Hungarian philosopher’s broad historisophical narrative, in which nationalism, ethnicism, fascism and post-fascism are shown to be successive stages in the contradictory development of post-Enlightenment capitalist liberal democracy. His political thought in this context is a call for the restoration of a class perspective in the analysis of social relations.
