How has fascism in Britain got this far? Neoliberalism has opened the door for it | George Monbiot

Keir Starmer ’s government takes a chainsaw to people’ aspirations for a fairer, greener, kinder country.

The almost inevitable result, as countries from the US to the Netherlands , Argentina to Austria , Austria , Italy to Sweden show, is to let the far right in.

Neoliberalism is highly effective at destroying democratic hope, says Monbiot .

As hope evaporates, the far right sweeps into the political void, enabling capital to invest again in its earlier solution.

As the damage to human wellbeing and the living world mounts, parties once on the left urgently need to recover their courage.
