The election of the first head of a county administration by the far-right Alternative of Germany in a rural eastern region recently has led to concern among opponents of the party.
If the politics don’t change and stop pushing a neoliberal agenda, it won’t stop. Inequalities are rising in Europe, what makes the far right “against the system” semantic looking nice. It’s up to the traditional parties to change and stop the last 40 years of politics to stop this rise.
From everything I’ve heard about Denmark’s immigration policies, I can only describe them as inhumane racist scums. They don’t even treat the immigrants as people.
You say that the Danish system tries to avoid people trying to abuse the system, but here’s my problem with that: Where do you draw the line for abuse? Do you think that people from poor countries don’t deserve a better chance at life? Even if they lied about escaping war, they probably did it out of fear of being sent back to their home countries. They immigrated the way they did, because Denmark or other EU countries wouldn’t have granted them visas to travel there legally. People “abusing” the system is very broad & could be a lot of things including sending people home for “only” wanting to escape poverty.
You have to understand the rich country side. They cannot just accept anyone and everyone, their economy would collapse and then the country would just be as shitty as the one refugees are trying to escape.
It’s a global issue though. Capitalism is demanding cheap labor fodder, and sooner or later societies will crack. See how in the whole western world, which has a comparatively high living standard, fascism Is on the rise?
Yeah the problem is that the world is kind of running out of dictatorships and underdeveloped countries that “first world countries” can exploit without a second thought - so the reality of having to adapt to a far less glamorous life will have to settle in sooner or later for a lot of those richer countries as there is a huge divide between their lifestyle and moral values.
So the easiest solution for a lot of them is to put moral values aside and be egoistic and imho that’s what leading to a lot of the shitty stuff that we see happening today all over the world.
The only way to keep living while exploiting people halfway across the world is telling yourself that those people are “worth less” and there you have the necessary first step for racism/fascism/populism to latch onto
The thing is, the AFD, apart from being Nazis, are also neoliberal. Only an idiot (who also likes Nazis) will vote for them over disliking neoliberalism.
The canadian conservative party is largely neoliberal. Neoliberalism is generally in favor of lower regulations, lower taxes and more private sector presence.

That might be workable in the long run, but let’s face it. AfD took advantage of racism and likely the ignorance in former Soviet region.
It’s not like policy can change the mind of mad, emotional and uneducated creatures.
Instead, conservative parties everywhere are trying to tap into the fascism for extra votes.
The thing is, the AFD, apart from being Nazis, are also neoliberal. Only an idiot (who also likes Nazis) will vote for them over disliking neoliberalism.
People don’t dislike neoliberalism, they dislike the effects it has on society. But they fail to connect the dots.
What do you mean by “neoliberal”? I feel like most of our political parties (here in Canada) are way more conservative than most people I know.
The canadian conservative party is largely neoliberal. Neoliberalism is generally in favor of lower regulations, lower taxes and more private sector presence.
As a Canadian as well, I find our parties to be extremely Left leaning, even the Conservative party isn’t very Right leaning.
