The left really need to listen to what people want rather than saying everything I do is right and you’re all Nazis if you disagree.
Did you read the article?
A right wing party—even if “far” right is a misnomer at this point—that is demonizing marginalized groups while passionately chanting about “homeland”…umm…is scary as fuck. Italy has elected the furthest right govt since MUSSOLINI.
A near continental shift toward finding a single scapegoat is terrifying. Just when Spain, Germany and Italy moved this direction last time, we had ww2. Now it’s Netherlands, UK, Italy, Germany, France, Spain’s far right is surging, I believe I read Portugal’s as well, then you add Poland, Hungary…this is a BAD sign.
I agree that everyone (not just the left) has, since ww2, gone to the hitler well way too often. It blunts the impact. But that fact only leads to the situation where now that we may seriously be in trouble, you (and others) say, “okay guys, how many times have we said this next person is a fascist?”
But these are telltale signs of fascism. Demonizing marginalized groups and erring on the side of “purity in the motherland” is fuckin scary. You’re not wrong about the overall problem, but you’re misreading the situation.
The right isn’t nazis for disagreeing. They’re nazis when they do the racist shit. Nobody calls them nazis for wanting lower taxes.
Problem is when the right wants to say they don’t harbor nazis, when they absolutely do.
They are a complete jerk to trans people and immigrants I don’t know what else to call them
Also, they have parties in Europe like AfD in Germany that are as close to modern Nazis as you can possibly get.
I feel like the US “center-right” is more dangerous than the European “far-right”.
Democrats are worse than literal fascists. What a great take
From a European perspective, the US centre-right are more conservative than the European fringe right. The European far right doesn’t (typically) want to restrict abortion, sabotage education or reinstate child labor for example. And are mostly about increasing and militarizing police, disenfranchising minorities, and different schemes to control that only the right people get to vote.
I’d argue that the US centre right is actually as radical, or even more so than the European fringe right, they are certainly causing about the same commotion, but of course have much more power in the US.
The US center right is Dems. They’re not good at all but definitely milder than their and Europe’s far right.

Please write about that leading far left in as much detail as you can. I’m grabbing some popcorn.

Which country was governed by the far left? Maybe some socialists had a bit of power in Europe but that’s about as left as it goes
