I just don’t see how the far right can rise or how they can win. The odds are so stacked against them. Is this something to actually be worried about ?

The reason I ask this is because I am a leftist and if your using lemmy I am going to assume you are to. I feel like this “the far right is rising” narrative is an attempt by the neo liberal establishment to trick class focused leftist into supporting the status quo as a bulwark against a far right rise.

    The establishment doesn’t want fascism, at least not fascism as it was implemented in Germany,Italy and Spain. They want to maintain the status quo so they can continue extracting surplus value from the workers.

    fascism doesn’t contradict that

    IIRC Jeff Bezos said that he bought the neolib Washington post for the soul purpose of opposing Trump and the rise of the far right.

    lmmfao, surely the multi hundred billionaire wouldn’t lie about his motives???

    There are just to many contradictions between what the fascist want and what the capitalist want.

    there are none

    I named a few above but I will name another. Immigration, fascist oppose immigration a long racial lines/lines of national identity and tradition. The Rich support immigration because it means more workers so they lower wages and it means more consumers to buy their product. From a capitalist perspective there are no downsides to immigration.

    of course there are lol, it’s called slave labour, and it’s what fascism provides - the ultimate, end stage of capitalism.

      You didn’t address my core point about the contradictions between liberalism and capitalism. You also didn’t address why the rich would be against immigration or why fascist would support it.

        Yes, yes I did, in several linked articles which you’ve clearly not clicked through to because you’re here in bad faith.

        go fuck yourself.

          why would the rich oppose immigration ?

          What does slave labor have to do with my point that fascist oppose immigration while the bourgeois supports it ?
