Abstract	This essay demonstrates how Deleuze and Guattari's notion of 'microfascism' is of crucial importance to understanding the complexities of contemporary pedagogical efforts to combat populism, right-wing extremism, and fascism. The author discusses how 'affect' and 'biopower' are entangled in everyday processes of discipline and control, and argues that these concepts are pivotal for appreciating the affective relations and capacities of microfascism. To illustrate how affect and biopower are intimately linked to microfascist practices in schools and classrooms, the author analyzes two examples--one in health education and another in citizenship education. Finally, the author suggests pedagogical strategies that could contribute to unmaking microfascist subjectivities, emphasizing that it is crucial to pay attention to the connections between micro- and macro-level fascisms.
