The concept of trasformismo is highly relevant in today’s political climate. It refers to the practice of creating a centrist coalition government that shuns any deviation from its ideology as extreme. This term was coined after the Italian unification and gave rise to Italian Fascism.

We are currently witnessing something similar where only mainstream liberal views are considered acceptable, and any ideas outside this framework are pushed to the fringes. As people lose faith in the system, parties that were previously excluded from politics gain power. This is why we’re seeing a rise of far-right movements across Europe.

It’s also notable how liberals often dismiss one-party systems while trying to create their own version with extra steps.
