To build an automated system using LangChain that analyzes political communications (e.g., Project 2025 documents) to identify, classify, and visualize language patterns associated with fascist ideology.
- Iterative Goal-Driven: Define goal -> Build Model -> Update Doc -> Repeat.
- Context First: Maintain clear context throughout the process.
We will map LangChain representations to defined fascist traits. A starting framework is Umberto Eco's "Ur-Fascism" (14 properties):
- Cult of Tradition
- Rejection of Modernism
- Action for Action's Sake
- Disagreement is Treason
- Fear of Difference
- Appeal to Social Frustration
- Obsession with a Plot
- Enemy is both Strong and Weak
- Pacifism is Trafficking with the Enemy
- Contempt for the Weak
- Everybody is Educated to Become a Hero
- Machismo and Weaponry
- Selective Populism
- Ur-Fascism Speaks Newspeak
- Chains: Build sequential chains to process text.
- Retrieval: Use RAG to query the document against the definitions.
- Agents: Potentially use agents to explore the text autonomously.
- Output Parsers: Structured output for the visualization layer.
- Heatmaps: Density of fascist rhetoric in document sections.
- Classification: Tagging specific quotes with the Ur-Fascism trait.
