Europe of Sovereign Nations will now face a process that could see it stripped of its status as a European political party, losing funding in the process. Far-right MEPs from other groups opposed the decision. #EuropeNews
But these aren’t dogs. These are humans with voting rights and the ability to run for office. Banning fascist political parties is a good thing, and it’s strange that you seem to think otherwise.
It’s an endless game of whack a mole if you silence specific parties. The only way to stop them is to improve people’s material conditions so that fascism has no appeal.
Yeah, that’s how they should’ve stopped hitler. Just improve people’s material conditions, it’s not like he’s actively sabotaging that in order to manipulate them into giving him more power. Oh wait, he did.
If whackamole is what it takes to keep the fascists down, then whackamole is what it’ll be. History is never over. Life and society are never won. There will always be a danger of resurgence. Vigilance will always be necessary.
Sorry to tell you this, but it’s true. The balance of the world hangs on a razor’s edge at the best of times. It doesn’t take much to destabilize a system when everything is going smoothly.
So sure, improve people’s material conditions. There’s a lot we could do better in the world. But don’t stop whacking fascism every time it rears its ugly head…
Dude, the German government literally handed power to Hitler in an election he didn’t win, because those in power would rather slaughter every minority they can think of rather than give an inch to the left.
That’s better than not silencing them, no?
You can snip the vocal cords of all the vicious dogs you want. Sure they stop barking, but they will still maul you
Then send animal control after the ones who bite.
