Yeah, this is a strangely euro-centric viewing. It needs to include so many more places. Russia is a big one that's missing, for another example, and there are a ton more. We're in bad economic times, which is where Fascists thrive. On the good side, leftists can also take advantage of it to actually help people if they succeed.
We're only in bad economic time because the wealthy elites and corporation gobbled up everything away from the public, which makes it even more sad.
Yes, but it's bad for everyone but them. The reason doesn't really matter. It's the same as always. It's mostly the same conditions that led to the last rise in fascism.
Sure, but the reason is always the same. It's rich people taking everything. There's way more than enough food and water for everyone, and that'll be true for a very long time.
The reason matters in that it affects how we solve the problems, but in terms of how fascism gets it's foot in... it doesn't really.
