Liberals aren’t left. Anarchists mostly are fringe movements in the west and as much as I am critical about them they are the ones present at almost all anti racism and anti nazism protests I have seen, often wanting to punch the Nazis in the face directly. So they can’t be blamed I guess.

The socdems, or what’s left of them, have spent the last decades moving to the right and losing their ideals (however thin they were). If we look at The Netherlands, for example, back in the 60s the parties against the first migration waves from Northern Africa were actually left wing parties as they saw it as importing cheap labor and hurting their own working class.

Neoliberalism and austerity has been the main ideology of the West for decades now and their predisposition to make everything shit for the people has divided the working class to the point where ‘anti ruling class’ far right parties were able to swoop up large voter bases. If anything I would blame the lack of a Western left for all this as the established socdem and even progressive liberal parties could not be arsed to make an effort to appeal to the people.
