"Unlearned lessons" Automatic translate
The project of Leonid Mlechin on the air of Russian Public Television.
Nationalism has never been so strong and it has never enjoyed such passionate support! A new generation of intellectuals has appeared on the European continent, who are not embarrassed that they are in the same party with the neo-fascists. These are arrogant and sophisticated demagogues. “If patriotism is racism, then we are racists,” they say with a resentful look at the people they misunderstood.
The political sympathies of Europeans are changing. A decade and a half ago, the extreme right were demoralized and were in prostration. On the political horizons of Europe it was rarely possible to meet a lone right-wing conservative soul. Neo-Nazis simply disdained.
Now far right in the spotlight. Declaring their "pure breed", they incite hatred for everyone who does not fit the standards they set. The new right-wing can be called the political movement, which verbally rejects the methods of the Nazis, but shares many of their ideas. When you see how fast the ranks of the new right are growing, how willingly they vote for them in Europe, you understand that fascism was not just an accident, an accidental closure in the chain of historical development. The ideas that lead to fascism are attractive to a considerable number of people.
The emergence of new refugees from Arab countries, the number of which could reach millions, will inevitably change the European continent. Among Europeans, xenophobia and intolerance will intensify. And new migrants bring with them hatred of others… A strange and even unnatural union of ultra-right and Islamists arises. Neo-Nazis, the new right, on the one hand, Islamists, on the other, destroy European values and European culture.
And Europe does not know how to be. How to resist neo-Nazis and Islamists at the same time? How to cope with a danger that does not come from outside, but from within?
