The same far right rot—propelled by the same declining living standards and affordability crises—that’s destroying America from the inside is also spreading rapidly in Europe, and the only group in a position to do anything about it is the same corporate centrists who failed to prevent it in America. The fundamental cause of America’s ongoing collapse—the ruling class’s inability/unwillingness to restrain the excesses of the system against the working class—is essentially identical to what’s going on in Europe. Europe might not feel like it’s collapsing, but America didn’t ten years ago either.
Yeah, but Europe, despite having the same idiotic centrists in power in a lot of places, has much stronger democratic institutions and systems to push back.
As much as I see far right pushes, they can’t fuck over the whole continent at the same time like they did in the US. Brexit had a backlash, AfD winning would show how shit they are to other countries. Also, there are more varied stuff going on, there is a lot of shit to hope about as well.
Hungary of all places might get a wealth tax going on this year for example. It’s not all bad. We just killed not just Chat Control 2.0, but also the already implemented first iteration was rolled back.
