This return of fascists in Europe is quite predictable, because fascism is an opportunistic infection that only gains a foothold in nations that have already been weakened by socialism. The socialists indoctrinate people to look to the state for charismatic leaders with utopian solutions. When the socialists fail, the people just look for other leaders with different utopian solutions, and that’s what fascists specialize in.

In the early 20th century, Americans weren’t that indoctrinated, so we managed to avoid that trap, but in the early 21st century, I don’t know if we’ll be that lucky.

“This return of fascists in Europe is quite predictable, because fascism....”

.
All this rhetoric still does not solve the problem of the illegals that flood Greece — the government is certainly not doing anything about it.

The “return of Fascism” should be looked at as an awakening of nationalism. That BS of ‘all cultures are of equal value’ may be promotable in the US, but certainly does not fly in countries that have a history that started far earlier than 1776.

Sadly,you speak the truth. I hope it doesn’t go that way for us.
