      Yes. It’s a multi-pronged effort. Ops like these really take advantage of working classes in hardship everywhere

        The hardships that the working class is suffering are direct result of the policies European governments pursued over the past two years.

          Let’s fix that

          The hardships that the working class is suffering are direct result of the policies basically all governments in the world have pursued over the past four (or even more?) decades.

          And thus the landscape to gain support for reactionaries is ripe for picking.

          Europe isn’t alone. Capitalism slowly races wages down, the North America Trump play bolstered manipulating voters in places where voting is even possible, and then there’s the places where elections have been a bigger sham already.

            Sure, the solution to the problem is to move away from the capitalism system and the exploitation inherent in it. There seems to be no real progress in that direction, and instead we’re seeing a shift to the right and fascism.

              Exactly. Europe is just the latest continent teetering on the verge, while the same is happening and has happened again and again everywhere.
