European nationalist parties are enjoying a worrying surge of support on the back of the continent’s migrant crisis, a development that has been largely overlooked. The rise of far-right parties in Europe — like the Front National in France or Golden Dawn in Greece — has been a major story over the last few years, but recent developments have received much less attention even though their gains have been more dramatic.

Worrying whom?
Barak Obama is "far right" in Europe.
the far left?
The FAR Right is surging in membership now that the good citizens of European countries have finally begun to see what the FAR Left governments have done to their continent.
For some “strange, bigoted” reason the citizenry of varied European, those with too many memories of being invaded, are realizing just what their governments have proudly let occur.
This time the “RIGHT” are doing the RIGHT things for the RIGHT reason. Good luck....they’ll need it.
Some guy mentioned something about history repeating once I hear.
Failed democracies devolve into dictatorships. No exceptions.
No, they have controlled opposition “right wing” parties just as we do. UKIP comes to mind. I listen to European right podcasts. It’s excellent, excellent stuff. They touch stuff none of our guys on the “right” would go near.
Good. And if they kick the savages out, Europe can go back to its former greatness. The magnificent civilization that grew in Europe will be retained.
If not, the only sounds you will hear will be the sound of women being raped, museums being blown up, Christian and Jewish heads falling to the ground, and the call to prayer 5 times a day.
Or are folks over there are starting to have enough?
Front National (France) are essentially national socialists who want to maintain French culture. They admire Putin and wish to implement corporatism (capitalism but with a heavy handed central government that controls production levels)
Golden Dawn (Greece) are hardcore national socialists who are somewhat violent. Essentially Greek Nazis.
Neither one is right-wing.
Eventually everyone hits a breakpoint. Pain teaches. For some it takes a lot of pain.
The problem is that Europe has a long history of feast of famine. There is never a stable middle ground. The place has been in perpetual war of some form since history began. Land war, political war, economic war... and the EU served only to form a governmental pressure cooker. It’s gonna blow and when it does, the crap is gonna fly as far from where it was as physics allow. That means dictatorship.
Consider the rise of Hitler/Musolini, French Revolution etc. One extreme to the other.
My, my. People want to retain their language, culture, and borders and that is considered to be a worrying sign. The leftist global elites want a world government that will make us all into serfs.
Trump is one of the few "politicians" in this country who has not overlooked what is happening. He has been able to tap into the frustration and anger of the American people who don't like feeling like foreigners in their own country. We are being colonized by the Third World thanks to the political and corporate elites. We need a nationalist party in this country.
Not quite. Obama is a communist. He is not far right anywhere.
Please expand on your assertion. How is the rise of Hitler comparable to what is happening in Europe now?
Well except for DU. They call him the modern Reagan on occasion.
Hitler capitalized on very disgruntled people over the WW1 sanctions/treaty/surrender terms. That is basically whats happening here isn’t it? Today modern Euros are lashing out against the liberal invasion policies and turning 180 degrees just as they did in Hitler’s time.
Same for the french. Once they had enough of that nonsense, a Rev happened. And they went to the opposite extreme. Violently.
The specifics are of course different. But the underlying concept is identical.
Hitler was not voted into power, he was appointed then engineered a coup behind the scenes.
And did the people nor rally behind his words?
