Angosto The processes of globalization have led to an economic transformation of such magnitude that they have plunged the inhabitants of a large part of the planet into despair and disbelief. If we add to this the impact caused by the pandemic and the lethal threat of climate change, we find an ideal breeding ground for the emergence of reactive movements that could perfectly lead us to the new fascism. Since its appearance as such in the 1920s, the extreme right has never ceased to exist, although since 1945 it has been a very minority movement within democratic political systems. In countries like Spain, which has not finished breaking its ties with the dictatorship since the main right-wing party continues to have roots and branches in that regime, it was a residual manifestation of segments of the population closely linked to Francoism, with a lot of power.
Factual but little citizen implementation. In France, it was reduced to the defenders of the monarchy and the Catholic tradition; in the United Kingdom, to the most extreme sectors of the Conservative Party that advocated the dissolution of the Welfare State and the implementation of another ultra-liberal one where the presence of the State was reduced to taking care of the established order. In other countries such as Australia Phone Number Holland, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany or the Nordic countries, the ultra phenomenon was reduced to groups opposed to the progressive tax system. As time went by and as the negative impact of neoliberal policies on the well-being of citizens grew, sectors that had never identified with the ultras, that rejected them and opposed them for decades, began to pay attention to the messages against the policies of the most right-wing politicians, especially those who referred to immigrants and spoke of the possibility that Arabs, Romanians, Africans and South Americans would end up replacing the indigenous people and, therefore, their ancient hallmarks of identity.
Taxes are the two keys on which the new fascism is being articulated, which grows and grows with the sympathetic collaboration of many media and communication networks. The first factor that must inexcusably occur for neofacism to end up imposing itself in Europe - the United States is another movie - is that the idea and generalized feeling of dissatisfaction, disgust, and discomfort spread. In Europe today there is no extreme situation that makes the population feel that way, social protection systems still work, there are redistributive policies and it would be enough to look at the countries of the South to see that we live in the best of the worlds. However, the extreme right, supported or condoned by the media, has launched messages that have resonated with the population: Destructive immigration, pernicious egalitarianism, the confiscatory bias of taxes or the inefficiency of the State. Against this propaganda based on hoaxes and scams, there is no official reaction and the ball continues to grow until it ends up crushing us while we watch television or scroll through Instagram. The situation we have reached is the result of the application of neoliberal economic and social policies for more than forty years.
