Far-right parties rattled the traditional powers in the European Union and made major gains in parliamentary elections Sunday, dealing an especially humiliating defeat to French President Emmanuel Macron.
On a night where the 27-member bloc palpably shifted to the right, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni more than doubled her seats in the EU parliament. And even if the Alternative for Germany extreme right party was hounded by scandal involving candidates, it still rallied enough seats to sweep past the slumping Social Democrats of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Sensing a threat from the far right, the Christian Democrats of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had already shifted further to the right on migration and climate ahead of the elections — and were rewarded by remaining by far the biggest group in the 720-seat European Parliament and de facto brokers of the ever expanding powers of the legislature.
They are, you’ve as of yet not offered a single shred of evidence otherwise aside from your opinion. Cite it, I’m referring to Dan Carlins vast commentary on both WW1 and WW2.
“Left” you know the left that supported Germany’s colonial efforts… The left that supported excluding polish immigrants… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelminism Don’t confuse winning an election with winning the population. Biden won, the rise of right wing christofascism is still accelerating because they’re two separate things.
Yeah except all the contemporary compliants and attempts to expel polish people in germany…
Sounds like it wasn’t an issue huh?
Germany was literally caught scheming to gain territory, it’s historical record. There’s quite literally no good faith argument about it.
Sure, that doesn’t change my point or strengthen yours. It’s just information for informations sake.
Please provide a single reference once ever.
I think you’re confused. Prussia had annexed regions of Poland in the 18th century. The Poles in question were born there. They weren’t immigrants, just as Native Americans and Hawaiians are not immigrants.
Yes, the “left” that supported organized labor and opposed capital. Which was the original goal of leftism. In Germany, the left was led by August Bebel who was described as a “model worker’s leader” by none other than Vladimir Lenin.
Anti-colonialism is a relatively new project for leftists. Old school leftists, including Marx, defended colonialism as a necessary step from feudalism to communism. Marx himself described the colonization of India as a “tool of history” in ending the “Oriental despotism” of the caste system and other “traditional rules”:
Yes yes, let’s exclude the evidence showing you’re not correct. Similarly native Americans were considered immigrants not entitled to us citizenship. Do you not remember the whole “they’re savages” let’s exterminate them thing?
No you’re simply confusing left leaning with left and taking a weirdly myopic view based on that.
Wrong again, marx said it was necessary for capitalism and benefited the world. That doesn’t imply support it just didn’t imply vehement distaste.
Non-citizen and immigrant are not the same. Plenty of immigrants are citizens. In fact, the opposite of “immigrant” is … “native”.
The next time you meet a Native American, tell them they are considered immigrants. Please post their reaction on YouTube, your video will surely go viral.
Explain that to the American nativist movement created by immigrant occupiers, you say these things from ignorance of history my friend.
I am native boss.
Then you should easily be able to find a quote by someone in that movement referring to Native Americans as immigrants.
They call them savages, they’d have to consider them people to consider them immigrants but give me a minute I’m sure someone somewhere said it.
Similarly, look at you demanding evidence but providing none.
