    the supposed resurgence of fascism never happened despite EU running capitalism for 79 years since the World War 2.

    If you took 5 minutes to look into elections in Europe and in US, you’d see that far-right are becoming more dominant in elections, white nationalists and neo-nazis are openly having marches on streets and attacking the “enemy” (like immigrants or muslims), Russia is pretty much an unofficial fascist state right now and so on.

    You’re right, resurgence of fascism never happened, but it is happening right now.

      happening right now

      No, you’re just one of radicals on the opposite side of political spectrum. Everyone with the wrong opinion is called fascist these days.

          This isn’t a bait. I tried once explaining the differences between fascism and nazism and guess what? Got acussed of being fascist. The only reason was because others didn’t like my argument.

            Nazism is a flavour of fascism. They’re not “differences”, they’re technicalities

        What, you think Stiglitz is some kind of dangerous tankie now? Jfc, talk about muddying the waters. The forces that motivated the germans to “seek shelter” from markets with the nazis are the same pushing people to vote for Le Pen, AfD today.

        Even Orban’s little dictatorship is a product of the sovereign debt crisis of the EU in 2014. If neoliberals are so blind that they lose touch with their people, voters will seek shelter from market forces either to the left or to the far-right, depending on how they understand what is happening.
