@EugeneMcParland European racists/Nazis continue to trap Europe on fossil fuels, and fight renewable energy. It's the same or worse in the USA.

They're still one small step away form fascism and the laws and structures are still mostly social-democratic.

Yes, they use racism like fascists in early stages, but they're still extremist neoliberal sociopaths. Most neoliberals, currently in power, don't want a dictatorship, the hallmark of fascism.

We should fight Friedman thinking, which causes a power imbalance in favor of exploitors. And energy crisis and worse: (human) species murder suicide by climate...

@silkester @EugeneMcParland we agree on everything except that we do disagree on one thing. I'm confident that Orban, Trump and friends are actively pursuing dictatorship.
