Fascism Speaks: Book 2. Propaganda Paige and the TIDE Manifesto (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966014201)

Propaganda Paige & the TIDE Manifesto is a time-traveling historical revenge novel set in Salem, 1692, where witch trials, pulpit power, and communal terror are exposed as instruments of social control rather than episodes of collective madness. Paige enters a town already organized around fear and finds the familiar architecture of authoritarian rule: weak men converting panic into law, girls weaponized as witnesses, preachers rewarding cruelty with holiness, and a public trained to confuse obedience with virtue. The novel treats Salem not as distant history but as an early blueprint for the same mechanisms of domination that continue to reappear whenever fear is dressed up as morality.

The book moves through executions, parsonages, false accusation rituals, church authority, and communal spectacle with a brutal, stylized energy that mixes alternate history, feminist revenge, anti-theocratic rage, and political horror. What gives it force is the clarity of its target. This is not just a story about witches or superstition. It is about management through accusation, the conversion of fragility into punishment, and the ways frightened men build systems that let them call cruelty righteousness. Paige operates less as a conventional heroine than as a living interruption, moving through Salem to expose, humiliate, and rupture a theology of cowardice that has been mistaken for order.

Written for readers of alternative history, feminist revenge fiction, anti-religious-authoritarian horror, violent historical fantasy, and myth-breaking political fiction, Propaganda Paige & the TIDE Manifesto is a sharp continuation of the Paige sequence. It is fast, confrontational, and openly corrective, with a voice that treats the witch trials as rehearsal rather than anomaly. Instead of asking how Salem lost its mind, it asks who benefited, who was broken, and what it might look like if someone finally arrived to stop the script mid-performance.
