I don’t understand why people insist on making this a left vs. right/progressive vs. conservative problem when it is clearly a establishment vs. proletariat problem.
The establishment will just wear the skinsuit of any political movement if it helps to increase their power and wealth. Has nothing to do with Christianity.
The article also argues for the same point, I believe. However, it posits that the right-wing and populist movements in Europe are employing the language and political tools of Christian Democracy to rationalize their actions. The process of European integration has also contributed to these dynamics. Nonetheless, you are correct; the fundamental reasons lie elsewhere.
