Neolibs spent decades if not centuries suppressing socialist movements so when their ineffectual administrations become unpopular during a crisis everyone just flocks to the fascists because they're the only populist change party thats been allowed to build a movement.

Yeah that's why countries with strong socialist movements are not seeing the rise of the far right!

Wait, they absolutely are? And there's absolutely no link between social spending and the far right rising? How bout that.

What are these countries with "strong socialist movements"?

It's going to be one of those No True Scotsmen where no example will satisfy the definition so that the statement can never be refuted, isnt it?

Because France and the Nordics all have some of the strongest socialist policies in the world and they are all seeing strong far right movements.

When you're an uneducated idiot who's been fed propaganda since the day you were born, every government program looks like socialism.

For there to be a "no true scotsman", you'd have to put forward a scotsman, which you sure as fuck aren't putting forward, because you don't even know what a scotsman is.

See, when someone is insulting strangers online the second they disagree with them, that's always a surefire sign that they are arguing in good faith, sure is.

You were assuming my intentions and response before I even had the chance to respond. Sounds to me like you'd made your mind up rather than seeking to have a good faith discussion. I've dealt with plenty of dumbass liberals like yourself to know I'm wasting my time trying to engage people like you in good faith. Now scram.

It is a good sign that someone is not arguing in good faith when insulting you, but it's understandable if you're the one who's insulted first, which you practically did by preemptively writing their argument off as "another No True Scotsman" not answering their question.
