Radicals ?!? Far right? Where do journalists get these facts ?

[@user-cq9ph5pz1j]

Crazy how even with internets access to information from around the world people can still be idiotic.

[@joaosampaio4039]

But thats the thing. There will be a point when theres no longer the need to ban a book cause no one wants to read one.

[@XKS99]

It’s amazing. They say something in davos and people just accept it without thinking

[@jb894]

Never anything about far left just far right

[@user-wh2oy2ul1q]

Why is comment section obsessed with communism albeit it's not mentioned in the video, are these ones that type of people who call anything they don't understand "communist/socialist" and get satisfaction?

[@It14f-37]

Portugal has a strong socialist influence, it is the most economically left leaning country in Western Europe, the country's own CONSTITUTION says the state should pursue a socialist society. The big left wing party in Portugal is literally called SOCIALIST PARTY. I don't think the people in the comments are delusional for being afraid or mad at socialism, even if the country is not a proper 'socialist proletariat dictatorship'.

[@wrighty338]

"Far Right" lol

[@bigbrother7604]

Definitely not far-right.

[@rafavince]

Chega is not far right. They also have socialist policies not that different from central or left wing partners

[@canman5060]

There is no far right. Only far left.

[@soundscape26]

That's wrong and you know it

[@canman5060]

@@soundscape26 Please define far right.

​@@soundscape26He's kind of right. Chega isn't a far-right party... It's a straight up fascist organization.

I do not believe a blue collar family have the possibility to live in their lands capitol city anywhere in europe or in America! It isnt anything specific with Portugal!! In Sweden there are the most wealthy people who affords to live live in Stockholm city centre or in Gothenburg. It have always been like that!!

[@Hereford1642]

It has not always been like that. Even in my lifetime the differential between wages and property prices has changed from a house being 3 or 4 times your annual wage to being more than 10x and the situation is even more pronounced in large cities.

[@bigedslobotomy]

When they say “far right” they really mean “anything that is not socialist or communist.”

[@mauriciomdea]

Nope, it's the other way around, anything not on the far right side is automatically labeled communists, even moderate right parties and politicians. You are NOT the moderates here, you are the radicals. For Christ's sake, you call even the POPE a communist!

[@bibitobastosqueiroz]

No, they mean far right, there’s about 2 or 3 communist countries right now, stop being so brainwashed please

[@thulsa_doom]

Exactly. Typical strawman tactic.

[@lores996]

They mean anything that is against freedom and liberty, when all know how those parties restrict personal freedoms almost immediately after gaining power.

[@thulsa_doom]

@@lores996 what constitutional right was removed from you by any right-winged party?

[@goncalomafra2439]

Ethnic and cultural background matters alot.

[@DonJulioitsthegoodstuff]

That guy saying that the party goes against people of color, needs to better inform himself and try to see what Chega wants, First Chega have in its ranks, different races and genders, then Chega is not against having a melting pot of races and genders, what Chega wants is to create a proper emigration policy where all races and genders in Portugal may leave in a sustainable way... but since they are now labeled as far right, well, things get distorted. They are not the best party and have their faults, but i dare anybody to tell me a party that dont lie, dont steal and dont do promises that after they dont keep.

[@escarretada]

Someone mention immigration === far right...

[@Magneticvortex-kk4gb]

Not really. EU and other normal people discuss it too. They just don't orbit immigration as if it was the centre of the political universe.

[@thulsa_doom]

​@@Magneticvortex-kk4gb"discuss" and do nothing. Millions of unwanted people coming to Europe.

[@dark0rock]

Why do you consider chega far-right? In the European parlament, chega sits on center left, what made you consider chega as far right? Chega wants to raise pensions for retired people - socialism, wants to limit the income of companies - socialism, wants to tax excessive income from gas industry and local banks - socialism.... the list goes on. What makes him far right, please explain it to me.

[@generalmortars7557]

People everywhere are SO excited to live under a fascist regime. They see Russia, they see North Korea, they see China and they go: "I want THAT for me and my kids."

[@ptantonioalves]

Fascism is a far left movement and all the countries you wrote are communist

[@hankjones3527]

And as terrible as those rulers are (and they ARE terrible) they still don't don't state sponsor medical procedures for minors to mutilate their bodies to "correct gender".

[@ricardomadleno564]

China is communism which is actually far left…North Korea ain’t even a democracy it’s a straightforward dictatorship and Russia is a corrupted autocratic democracy where some stuff is democratic but the spinal chord of the goverment is so far corrupted that leads to autocracy. Social democracy is center right while socialists are center left you also have liberalism not to be confused with either the left or right they have aspects from both and other new aspects. For me a conjunction of social democrat and liberalism is the best approach and I hate socialism it’s ruins economies. Government regulation should exist but not to a complex and stressful level that would restrict economic freedom, productivity and prosperity.

[@miguelscosta]

And it's funny that we're celebrating the 50th year of the ending of a fascist regime in our country.

China is completely different from North Korea I have visited there It’s more advanced than Russia and nk and even usa
