EU support for austerity opens door to far right, Corbyn says | ..

Jeremy Corbyn has told an audience of European socialists that EU support for austerity has caused hardship for ordinary people, and that unless something changes there is a risk that “the fake populists of the far right will fill the vacuum”.

Speaking at the Congress of European Socialists in Lisbon, the Labour leader also said his party respected the result of the Brexit referendum and it was the duty of the left in the UK to “shape what comes next”.

Corbyn argued that Labour would be internationalist whether the UK was inside or outside the EU, and promised that the party would “work together to help build a real social Europe” by protecting workers’ and consumers’ rights.

And he's completely right. Austerity has left many working class people feeling left behind and it doesn't help when the supposed left wing parties support the same policies, out of touch neo liberals are getting their ass kicked world wide and it won't stop until their pro corporate and pro austerity shit ends.

The corps make more money with the extreme right than either neoliberals or leftists too.

The corps make money anyway

The problem is whether we're helping or screwing the middle and lower class

[GrizzlyBear]

Yeah, no doubt. Sadly the ones who vote far right tend to be short sighted as fuck, but I believe a strong leftist platform can reach out to them, at least I hope so.

Europe really needs to switch the train of thought to buying out of recessions as we did over here.

David Cameron and George Osbourne didn’t run their program to pull this country out of the dumps. They knew exactly what they were doing when they cut public services and cut taxes at the same time. Purely ideological and indefensibly unsustainable. We still haven’t recovered.

[Croatsky]

Far right knows how to sell the story they are helping the poor and middle class while robbing them blind at the same time. An art of bullshiting is just very effective.
