    I find that hard to be true of all of Europe, at least compared to America. Doesn’t Europe have a considerably high unionization rate? Last I checked, about 10% of America’s workforce was in a union.

      Depends on the country. 3+ million Belgian people are in a union (total population of 11 million). In The Netherlands it’s less. German and France have good numbers as well.

      The original comment is a bit short of nuance I think. In Belgium the Marxist party is making serious leaps forward in terms of support. Leftist groups all over gain traction as material conditions worsen. But so do the right-wing groups. But it’s not just ‘Oh, they are racist and fascism is certainly coming’. We’re combatting that daily with our party over here.
