Tbh, the big issue with why nazis exist in these large quantities is that the financial situation of people is going down. That’s the one big thing there. And left-wing parties mostly all over the world did nothing against that.
The rich, the billionaires and all that lot are siphoning wealth off the rest of the world and nobody does anything against that. Instead, left-wing parties got entangled in social justice topics (which are important) but completely forgot left economics (which are critical). Left-wing discussion moved from important but rather boring topics (e.g. how to distribute wealth better) to extremely polarizing but not that critical-to-daily-life topics (e.g. “This politician used a word wrong!”).
That was basically the whole 2000s and the first half of the 2010s.
In the 1990s, nazis were hardly a thing because people had jobs, housing and food. That’s changed now. And since the left-wing parties aren’t about to change anything, people are flocking to right-wing parties and -ideologies because they are literally to dumb to understand that the change that right-wing is going to effect is change against the people.
But if we actually wanted to stop nazis, we would have to abolish billionaires (and pretty much anyone who has more than >50 million) and redistribute wealth. We need a new new deal. Because what killed the nazis wasn’t WW2, but new deal economics.
“Left-wing” parties intentionally started focusing on ultimately meaningless topics so they didn’t have to admit that they were in the same pockets as the other side.
That’s also where my reflection typically leads, I’m just worried about the timescales of fascism well on its way vs anticapitalism/social policies that are nowhere to be found it seems (even if I believe the majority of people are on the right side of this schism, they are so unproperly represented by governments and leaders in general)
A murder is a murder, legally speaking.

And right-wing parties did the same to distract idiot voters from what they are actually doing.

It’s the golden rule again: The one who has the gold, makes the rules.
The ultra-rich (and even the regular rich) usually aren’t that big on anticapitalism/social policies.
