I think Europe had their time. They are nodding knowingly and pitifully at America at how hard it will be to climb out of it.

Nah, the right is on the raise in Europe too. The question is for how long and how far do they get.

With a lot of money from the US.

In some cases, but rich people are usually right wing as it justifies their wealth. Consequently they are classists. And racism is just another type of classism.

In other words, Europe has their own rich monsters.

Russia is worse then the US is, but the US is working on it. Both are helping out likeminded European groups. Musk was turning up at German and British facist party events for a reason.

So what you're saying is that the UK needs a repeat of Cable Street to drive home that fascism isn't welcome and drive out wannabe-Mosley.

Would be an option. Another really good one would be a reform of the election system. It is insane that Labour got 2/3 of the seats in parliament with only 1/3 of the votes. Even worse with Reform polling at about 1/3 of the votes right now.

...it's harsh times

Are you kidding? Europe is trying it's best to keep up with the USs sprint to the hard right.

The crisis of the 30's was a factor and now we're in the same position.
Dramatically worsened by the results of 'there will be no more Nordstream'.
Not a peep from our EU leaders, just more bootlicking, crippling sanctions on ourselves and buying wildly expensive and polluting US fracking gas.
And billions more of their murder toys OC, what else are our pension and social welfare funds for?
