With its general election just a week away, fears are mounting that the hard-right Vox party could form part of the national government. The win would embolden far-right parties that have been thriving across Europe. The UK cannot afford to be complacent about the rise of the protectionist far-right that’s taking shape all around us.

    A quick history review could help you understand why far-right is scary and it should be to everyone, even proud national patriots… far-right tends to leave a nasty trail behind and often a smaller country to be proud of, it tends to degenerate into a suicidal death cult. Again, history helps to understand.

        Stalin and Mao were fascists.

        The far left, such that it has existed, was primarily slaughtered by the nazis and the red army and moderates happily watched it happen.

        I mean… If he didn’t do the eugenics and the mass murder then maybe we could look past the military conquests but… He was kinda fucked up and people loved under fear even if they weren’t on the bad list.

        Yikes. Changed note from “conservative asshole” to “literal Nazi.”

        I assume you are some kind of troll dude, but really, seek help.
