In Europe Sanders would not be a radical at all. Antifa is "radical" (in a good way), and we just send one of them to the EU parliament. American politics are too right wing.

@movestattoo4561 I mean the EU. Bernie is a social democrat, basically centre, center-left. No radical. There are socialist and communist parties that are more left and radical left.

@movestattoo4561 Bernie a radical is hilarious.

@movestattoo4561 I know what Europe is. I was born here. Thank you very much.

@movestattoo4561 if you think Bernie is a radical, what is Antifa?? 😂
12
@movestattoo4561 which countries?? I mean the EU obviously.

@GazB85 no. Antifascists were NOT all communists and socialists. There were catholics, republicans, liberals etc. too.

@movestattoo4561 not all of them are EU countries. We are talking about the EU parliament here. We know Hungary is an outlier in the EU. To me, they should not even be in the EU. They are anti-EU anyway.

@harrietharlow9929 good. Me too, my parents too, and my grandparents were Italian partisans in WWII.

@harrietharlow9929 Like me then. How old are you? I am almost 50.

@movestattoo4561 I think some comments of yours were deleted, that's why I did not answer. I do not see any comment where you ask me who the Antifa in EU parliament is. Her name is Ilaria Salis.

@movestattoo4561 Hungary yes. Belarus is not a EU country. When I say Europe I mean the EU, and mostly Western Europe. East Europe is different. Bernie Sanders in the EU parliament would not sit with the Communist Parties.

@movestattoo4561 where did you ask me who the Antifa MP is?? I do not see any comment asking me that. Her name is Ilaria Salis.

@nealiecruz2532 I am glad someone understands that what Sanders wants for Americans is not "radical". It is the norm here in Europe. Even the far right parties wouldnt get rid of the welfare state here. Underfunding it, yes. Which is bad. But no getting rid of it.

@harrietharlow9929 You know, I think that's a problem of the American culture and even religion. In Europe religion is pretty much dead, but still, in many countries Catholicism was an influence on the culture for centuries. So was socialism (the scary big wolf in the USA 😂). Both Catholicism and socialism are collectivist movements. Both (in different ways obviously) are about helping the poor/ the vulnerable/ the working class. American Evangelicals on the other hand are NOT collectivist and are NOT about helping the poor. It's a terrible religion. Personally I am an atheist, but I prefer European christians to American christians. Totally different.

@movestattoo4561 yes, I am concerned too, of course. But in the EU it's not as bad as the USA (yet). In France the Left won the latest elections. In Italy young people voted Left parties. Many people did not vote at all because all choices were bad. If the Left goes back to being REALLY progressive and not just another neoliberal party, I am sure they would get many more votes. In many countries the Left has abbandoned the working classes and is not united. In Italy we have at least 3 main Left parties, but they don't even get along 😞

@movestattoo4561 I hope so!

@movestattoo4561 yeah I agree.

@Naigus nazis never went away. In Italy in the 70s we almost had a civil war, again, between fascists and communists. We had them in the 90s when I was a student. And we have them again today. But dont you think we also have the opposite? Antifa? Ever heard of Ilaria Salis? Why do you think only the far right is rising? When the far right rises, so does the far left. You just need to look at history.

Dont you have Antifa in the UK??

@GazB85 "for fascism"?? You mean "against" I hope. Your comment does not make sense as it is.
1
@GazB85 communists are fascists' natural enemies, but Italian partisans were from a very wide political spectrum. As were French partisans.
1
@GazB85 partisans in Italy were all part of CLN (commitee for national liberation) and included many different political factions, from anarchists and communists to catholics and republicans.

@PraxisAbraxis why is it scary?
