-Removed-To an extent, but the other factor is that both mainstream right- and left-wing parties, and more radically left-leaning parties such as the Italian Five Star Movement or Greek Syriza, have been co-opted for a kind of "business as usual" economic policy which increasingly works to the disadvantage of majorities of the population. Sometimes the result of this is a weary return to centre-right norms, but the radical right can take advantage where it's well enough organised. Note that both Italy (now to be governed by the radical right) and Greece (governed again by the mainstream right) gave the left radicals a chance at government first and were disappointed.

I’m surprised you’ve stooped low enough to pretend the Nazis were socialist.
The Nazis viewed socialist with the same loathing that they demonstrated against the Jews and many of them shared the same fate. Apart from the anti ‘international Jewish conspiracy’ the ‘anti Bolshevik conspiracy’ was their biggest campaign plank.

"Hitler achieved full dictatorial power through the Enabling Act. In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service"
If Nazis were "socialist" would they purge all socialists from government? Do some research before posting.

Brothers of Italy suspends candidate after online post praising Hitler found
Election candidate for the rightwing party had called Hitler a ‘great statesman’ in a 2014 Facebook post
The right-wing rise in Europe indeed includes fascists, racists, bigots, etc. This is a member of the same party that won the election in Italy.
@athousandyoung saidHe’s not confused he’s just telling his favourite right wing lie, he’s one them fascists who points to anyone but the actual fascists and says :
You seem to be getting Stalin and Hitler confused
“oh look at the fascists over there, no no these aren’t fascist jackboots I’m wearing these are libertarian jackboots”
He does it all the time cos he’s a ‘libertarian’ don’t ya know.
@athousandyoung saidFollow the thread ATY and you'll see it was bait for shag and I snagged him real good
You seem to be getting Stalin and Hitler confused
He says national socialism isn't socialism, while at the same time saying 'state capitalism' is capitalism. It was such obvious bait I was afraid no one would fall for it, but shag swallowed it big time and now kev's come along for a nibble too.
