.... because here in Europe, we do not have Far-Right parties.

@spiritualanarchist8162 " Immigration is a tool to keep the capitalist economy functioning. " What "capitalist economy" ? No country in Europe has such a thing. We all have a Mixed economy system, based on Social-Democracy or whatever. Also only if the immigration is work based i.e. people move due to work or due to establishing a business, it would benefit the non-existing Capitalist economy. Otherwise you are only bringing in unemployment which doesn't benefit the economy at all due to the socialistic nature of the "welfare-state".

@justTyping : If those parties aren't advocating for (Classical) Liberalism or what they call in America, "libertarianism", they aren't Far-Right. The only mainstream politician who currently could be properly classified as Far-Right, is the Argentinian president Javier Milei.

"Far right in Europe are national socialist." That is not how left/right works though. National Socialists were on the Far-Left.

@georgeoust : "but our economic model is capitalist, " It is not actually. Our European economic model is a Mixed economy.

"voting for the extreme right isn't as common as this video makes it out to be. " It is not a thing at all. There is no "extreme right" in Europe.

" So instead they now vote for even more extreme rightwing parties." There are no such parties in Europe.

@justTyping "Liberalism = far right? Since when is that the definition." Since socialists claimed to be on the Left side of the spectrum. Liberalism as put forth by John Locke, advocates for minimal government and that the only goal of the government is to protect people's lives, liberty and property. When Far-Left is represented by socialistic and collectivist ideologies such as Marxism, then logic dictates, that the Far-Right in return is represented by capitalist and individualist ideologies such as (Classical) Liberalism. Therefore, people on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount (individualism) and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.

Reality is anti-socialist.

"2) Because the N@zis were right wing..." Wrong. They were not. National Socialists were Far-Left, 3rd position socialists and rivals to Marxists. They had nothing to do with Right wing of any kind.

@TypeAshton : What "far-right candidates" exactly?

@toyotaprius79 : As it should be.
