Yeah, and foreign malign state-actors like China and Russia exploit this by supporting the far-right across Europe, attempting to undermine democracy by sowing division and anxiety in society.
Meanwhile the east-german CDU is once again debating cooperating with the extreme-right AfD because boycotting them has not been working - guess what, they have been copying the right talking points and speech.
So I guess the far right has a hard time existing without foreign support. At least in europe.
Whaaat?? Are you telling me they aren’t fighting the rEaL dictatorships of EU and USA? The imperialists demons?? That they aren’t bringing the socialist utopia to reality???
I am utterly shocked!!1!
Comrade ! I have bad news ! The great Soviet Republic has fallen ! Communism is over, welcome to 1990.
Yes I know you’re joking but it’s incredible the number of people who don’t get that Russia pivoted from authoritarian pseudo-communism to straight up fascism via oligarchic anarchy 30 years ago. The only kinda sorta commies left are in Central/South America
