Europe's far-right: Tempting partners for conservatives? | To the point

[@femmevalerie_]

This is not about left vs. right. It is about globalism vs. sovereignism.

[@HappyG1lm0re]

Hilarious how normal people are now "far right". We all see what your agenda is here.

[@ourcollectivewisdom8769]

There is a spectrum of values and beliefs that you can check out for yourself. Certain policies are without a doubt “right-wing”.

[@Rnankn]

Yea the fascists have always been “normal”

[@goranrajcevic5550]

Just like in Canada, peaceful protesters are "far-right" and Ukrainian neo-notsees are totally ok.

[@kmick8108]

So normal

[@alextitei9748]

The terms left and right wing were coined during the French Revolution. The radicals called the Montagnards were sitting on the left side/wing of the French National Assembly room and the half radicals called the Girondins were sitting on the right side/wing of the room. Both the Montagnards and Girondins belonged to the same organization(a WEF of sorts called the Jacobin club) and have previously worked together. They continued working together, but the Girondins were more moderate, advocating for less violence. Far right just means you are not in the club, not working with "them".

[@VictorLejarsa]

How infantile calling people far-right… this is getting boring. You are making this term empty now

[@fabianelsen3716]

Meanwhile someone asks for a minimum wage that's high enough to afford a single room apartment and the average conservative calls them a communist right away.

[@douglas5097]

When the far left is allowed to go as far as it can, the political pendulum swings to other side. Nothing new here…

[@Joey-ct8bm]

Where is the far left in the EU? Or even the centre left? We got the rightwing EPP in power for years now. Even Renew has rightwing party's in it. Define the left?

[@douglas5097]

@@Joey-ct8bm High taxes, bureaucracy, abortion, drugs, uncontrolled immigration, light sentences on heavy crimes and so on. None of these are right wing characteristics. In fact, right wingers are called fascists for opposing that.

[@soundscape26]

Far left is Communism and the likes... there are no Communist governments in Europe.

like DW. they are far left and supported by SPD.

[@Mitiku-mp7kv]

That is left policy right

[@Rnankn]

Europe is a trade and monetary union, it is a right-project based on capitalist expansion. If it was remotely leftist there would be equality and capitalism would be suppressed. Capital runs everything! If there was equilibrium, it would be the turn of the Left.

[@Timo-qb1gf]

EU itself is acting as near far left with it's ever increasing bureaucracy machine and planned economy, spreading the net paying countries / tax payers money as a it was common welfare and subventioning the even more corrupt south.

[@SabineWald_NowHere]

Let Common Sense Party win. Enough of far out left and their illegals.

[@kertparkes9206]

[@daylightmoon7285]

The issue is simply immigration. The EU press should not underestimate what they call "the far right." The AFD is the de facto leader of the "right" in Germany. The "far right" in Europe will cooperate with the AFD in the end. Also, the right in Europe is not at all fragmented. Their demands and goals are the same throughout Europe

Are they Far Right, or are you Far Left? It's all relative to where you stand. I'm not European, so I always felt Western Europe to be socially too progressive or too Far Left.

[@Timo-qb1gf]

EU is very left compared to the other western countries. And journalists are like 90% left so what can you expect.

[@soundscape26]

It depends on what you consider "socially too progressive". Check the list for the standards of living worldwide and which countries come on top. If that's "far left" then bring it on.

[@hopeintruth5119]

Socially too progressive??? I mean I guess. Equality for women. You won't be killed for whatever you say, lgbtq rights, no division over race, creed, or religion, I mean, if that's far left. I guess far left is extremely favorably compared to whatever trash the world has to offer of discrimination and aggressive unnecessary hierarchy

[@SadisNic]

Can we just remind ourselves that the Mussolini's fascists got to their position because the conservatives in Italy sided with them.

[@emanueledes7]

That alliance is IMPOSSIBLE, and wouldn't even have a majority. The majority at the EP will be again: EPP, S&D, Renew.

[@JsckSzx]

Far right? you will never see or hear dw utter the phrase far left. This is because this is where they sit. So everyone is right of them. But to push their ideology further everyone is therefore referred to as far right.

I have no problem with legal immigrats , actually i support them They work hard , they study hard but i don't support illigal immigrants But both people should support and accept europian culture

[@Rnankn]

When your ancestors walked to Europe from Africa, it’s a good thing they were “legal”, before working and studying hard. That is before they eliminated the indigenous European culture with the foreign culture from Anatolia and Eurasia (agriculture), and foreign religion from the Levant (Christianity)

EU; was apparently created to stop nationalism, now it's continued existence just creates more nationalism. As former countries now mere states, wonder what they have to do to get out. Single currency is a lot worse in a monetary crisis. Having decisions made in other countries about your own is ridiculous! Like courts for example

[@Arre2011]

We who want functioning agriculture in EU, forestry industry in EU, automotive industry in EU, etc. We who don’t want to fill EU with Arabs, Afghans and Africans; why are we called: Far right? Right extremes? It is the green-red parties who has extreme politics on their agenda. Since they want to only support electricity that only exist sometimes, wind power and solar cells, I guess they want EU to have electricity only sometimes… so EU can be more like Africa… Nuclear power is climate smart and it exists 24-7 about 365 days a year. But the green parties in EU are against nuclear power… they are against climate smart technology… they are against themselfs… against their own politics… isn’t that extreme???

[@johnhughes2124]

Burkhard Birke is the one person on the pannal who almost gets it, the swing towards the right is a question of identity, Europeans believe that their identity is being diluted by mass immigration from countries with different cultures and attitudes, couple this with the grand economic failures of the Eurozone project and the attitude that the only answer to any crises within the EU is 'more Europe' (often led by the same people who created the crisis in the first place) . My advice to the left / centre left is the same as it always has been. Acknowledge that the cordon sanitaire is broken, has been broken for at least the last ten years and that it is extremely unlikely that you will ever be able to put it back. Like it or not hard right politicians in the EU are here to stay for the foreseeable future. Acknowledge that Wilders, Le-Pen, Orban et al are not the knuckle dragging thugs of the 80s far right movements in Europe.and are instead sophisticated political operators that can go up against the best that the EU has to offer e.g. the likes of Michel Barnier, Guy Verhofstadt, Ursula Von der Lynne etc and come on out on top. Resign yourself to the necessity of doing deals with them and use this opportunity to curb their worst impulses, at the same time acknowledging the legitimate social concerns of their voter bases.

I always wondered why we always hear complaints about the extreme right but never about the extreme left. Why is the extreme right gaining ground? Easy, if governments do not pay attention to the well-being and prosperity of their citizens, this feeds the extreme right. Rubbish government is the problem. The extreme right is a symptom of a government failing its citizens.

[@soundscape26]

That's because the far left has basically no power in Europe. The day Communists threaten to reach positions of power in Europe then we'll have reasons to worry about it.
