It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.
In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.
Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.
It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?
Sure, the death of imperialism is a protracted process. What’s undeniable at this point is that it is dying, as it exists in a manner that cannot help but die in the long run.
Well said. The maths of infinite extraction on a finite planet always had an expiration date, even if the timeline is protracted. It’s going to be incredibly fascinating and probably pretty turbulent to watch how the rest of this century plays out as that reality fully sets in. Really enjoyed this discussion.
Thanks! And yes, I expect the present conditions of China and the rest of the global south rising to continue to spark desparation from the US as it decays, which I can only hope sees revolution before the world sees war.
