      It is when at the same time capitalism is demonized with comments like this:

      Capitalism cannot be reformed

      Much of Europe is social democratic, and that actually works very well by regulating capitalism to prevent exploitation.

        As a European, lmao, no. It’s better than fascist America, no doubt, but there is still plenty of exploitation under social democracy. Things have only gotten worse as social democracy has eroded and given way to neoliberalism.

        European society is also sliding towards fascism, with the exact same causes as in America. The far right is on the rise everywhere because of cost of living outpacing wages, public services increasingly under more and more pressure with less and less funding, and massive, rampant inequality caused by the concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands.
