The cause for more fascist is that overall for more people it is worse… Why is it worse? Cost of living is up, no one can buy a house, press is telling that its the fault of Immigrants or the people that cant work… meanwhile it is because of the few rich that hoard everything.
Or, maybe, the parties in power do not understand anymore what people need/want.
Just an example, last week in Italy we had a strike, organized by the Left wing parties and the biggest labor unions, against the war in Palestine. Now, for how bad the situation in Palestine can be, do you really think that a family in Italy that are living on the edge of poverty because of the low salary and few jobs (which lower the salary because there is always someone who are willing to work for less if the alternative is no job and eventually you can pay under the table an illegal immigrant) with the problem of putting 3 meals a day on the table for his children really care about it ?
It is true that more people vote for Right and fascist and that happen because it is worse for more people and the point is that all the other parties do not understand it and they continue to do the same things that make it worse for more people.
It is not a coincidence that AfD begin to grow after the illegal immigrant became too much. It is not a coincidence that Fratelli D’Italia won the elections after the PD+M5S focused only on the illegal immigrant and other questions concerning a very little number of people.
Probably not, but still is a problem.
True and they can exactly because the left wing is not willing to tackle the problem. Let’s be real, AfD would never have been at this level if the other parties would have done their job.
True. The point is that they are able to do it because the issue exist and nobody else care to speak about it, let alone to tackle it.
It is too easy to point at the hundreds or thousands of illegal immigrants that are around the street and say “see, they are the problem with their petty crimes”. People will agree because they know it is true to some extend.
Yep, and as far as I remember Hitler was elected before going crazy. Now, obviously the scenarios are really different but the one common thing they have is that there is someone willing to talk to people about the problem they have (or think to have) and promise to solve them. And thinking that to resolve the problem all you need to do is to neutralize AfD will only end with AfD 2.0 with an even worse program but since it will have a more presentable way, it will be accepted.
I don’t think you can have a parallel, in the US Trump won because the Democrats decided that in the end standing by a convicted felon (Floyd was not an innocent black guy killed by a racist police officer) and allowing petty crimes (and not only them, they decriminalized many things), on top of choosing as candidate Kamala Harris because she is a black woman, who in the primary elections of her own party got less than 1000 votes, was a good strategy. And with all the woke ideology and BLM charade it was simple for him to win.
If AfD (or any other party) would try something like that would be destroyed, nobody really like it.
