"Authoritarians want to you feel that their ascendence and victories are
predetermined and useless to resist. Too much coverage of the recent European
parliamentary elections plays into this by concentrating on the surge of the
far-right in some countries. These include Germany, where the AfD increased
from 11% to more than 15%, and France, where the National Rally party performed
very well.
Another narrative deserves our attention: the continued momentum of
anti-authoritarian forces in Poland, Hungary, and the Nordic countries. There
is also a new unity strategy now developing among the famously divided left in
France. (This post is about Europe, but see my essay on Narendra Modi’s setback
in India).
A[n] anti-authoritarian counter-wave that focuses on solidarity rather than
exclusion, and hope rather than fear, is building within Europe."
