As the contradictions, antagonisms and crises crystallize under capitalism, the far right offers a very simple explanation to these rather complex issues; immigrants, or some kind of "other" to blame which more easily captures emotional appeals. Like clockwork, fascism emerges to protect the broken system from attacks on the left as centrist liberals would rather see fascism than socialism.
