History does not repeat itself exactly, but those who pay close attention recognize recurring patterns. The Great Depression of the 1930s—preceded by excessive debt and culminating in a stock market crash—not only led to economic collapse but also triggered political instability, radicalization, and the rise of totalitarian ideologies. Chaos and uncertainty made citizens susceptible to simplistic solutions offered by both fascists and communists. As we know, this ultimately resulted in an unprecedented global catastrophe. Now, nearly a century later, we find ourselves in another crisis—not due to excessive private debt, but due to unprecedented national debts, the threat of war, and a political elite trading freedom for control.
The left-liberal establishment consistently points to ‘far-right extremism’ as the greatest threat, but is this assessment justified? The parties labeled as ‘extreme’ advocate for sovereignty, limited government, freedom of speech, and free market principles—the very values that once triumphed over fascism. Without capitalist America and Britain, Europe would not have freed itself from the grip of dictatorship in 1945. So who, then, are the true enemies of freedom?
Ronald Reagan once warned: “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” This is precisely what we are witnessing today. Under the guise of ‘liberal values,’ freedom is being steadily eroded. In Europe, we see it in the Digital Services Act (DSA), supposedly designed to combat ‘disinformation’ but in reality a mechanism to enforce censorship and self-censorship. We see it in a state-controlled economy, where private enterprises can only grow if they conform to the Brussels agenda. We see it in perpetual warmongering, where European leaders prefer continued bloodshed over diplomatic solutions. Trump is on the verge of brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia, yet the European establishment refuses to consider it. U.S. neocons and NATO provoked tensions as early as 2014 with the coup against the democratically elected President Yanukovych. Now, we are being primed to send our own sons and daughters to the front lines of a war that is not ours to fight.
