I have predicted young people shifting left, being more in favor for the democratic socialist parties (such as Die Linke in Germany), as a reaction to declining material conditions.
However, that didn’t happen, and instead, a lot of young people actually shifted to the right and voting for far-right parties (such as the AfD).
And when we look at gender, it’s young men who got to the right, because a lot of women continue to vote center or left.
And a lot of people might be voting for those parties not because they are ultra-conservative, but because they are openly anti-establishment.
And the rise of the far-right is important. If the fascists parties, in collaboration with the conservative capitalist parties take over western europe, then our vision could be threatened and become harder, if not, impossible to implement.
