    Neoliberal policies that take wealth way from everybody but the rich and gives it to them.

    I do not know about other EU countries but in my country these far right voters want MORE Capitalism/Neoliberalism, not less.

      The paradox is that they’ll blame taxation for being broke even if the actual reason is capitalism.

      I reckon one major reason is that taxation is the visible part of your money being “stolen” whereas capitalists profiting off your labour is… well, potentially visible if it’s a private company and the owner flaunts his wealth, but generally if it’s a big publicly traded company, or a foreign multinational, etc, you need to be looking at the annual reports or something, because there’s no real local boss taking all the profit.

      Oh yes, that is the whole stupidity about it. They suffer from it, like we all do, and then they want more of it. But they need to be dragged towards leftist policies or they will drag us all into the abyss.

        Because fascist parties have a scapegoat and clear things they want to change. Meanwhile the centrist parties that claim to be “left” are just sputtering around doing more of the same or window dressing approaches that do nothing, and are more interested in stopping the actual leftist movements that will help people and stop fascism.
