Beat the far right

The arrival of immigrants and refugees has been one of the protagonists of the summer news reports. It is not something new, the European Union has been misusing this reality for years. The increase in right-wing populism in elections is an indicator. In the times of hegemony of the extreme progressive center there is little talk of the profound factors to understand the success of the populist right. The discourse of political opportunity, expressing moral superiority, prefers to criticize the extreme right voter from a theoretical-philosophical humanitarianism to oppose neoliberalism, which is the root of the real problem.

And that is that while some citizens more often enjoy the benefits that immigrants bring, others see difficulties in everyday life. A significant part of the middle class could hardly afford domestic cleaning staff and dependent family care if there were no immigrants, at least in the same number of hours as now. The most humble classes are required to have a master's degree in economics, so that they understand that the worsening of their working conditions is not primarily due to the arrival of immigrants, but to neoliberal capitalism (in abstract!). That is why I would like to ask the Commissioner whether the Commission is prepared to accept the Commission's proposal. The classes of impoverished workers should know from morning to night that they are not the most vulnerable social segment and therefore have to be willing to share part of their small slice of cake with the newcomers. In case all this was not enough, the extreme progressive center believes that the lower classes should be elegant in interculturality to relate to the new inhabitants, in neighborhoods and schools abandoned by the rich middle class.

The truth is that the inhabitants of the slums are not going to be elegant in progressism, but they are gaining experience. Despite the problems, more and more relations are taking place without the support of most moral discourses. The enlightened middle classes have forced people who exercise authentic interculturality, in addition to the segregation of urban land, to suffer school segregation, so that, as they are obliged to maintain a lower educational level, they are systematically excluded from privileged social networks.

Low classes should be stylish in interculturality to relate to new residents in neighborhoods and schools
abandoned by the rich middle class.

It is not uncommon for there to be problems of coexistence in neighbourhoods, as it is not uncommon for there to be impatience when there is wage dumping or competitiveness through subsidies. For example, why is the Hungarian Government ' s attitude to immigrants and refugees who do not want to be in that country and not the 150 people who die of cold in their homes in that country every year? In these social problems, the extreme right stands out, which offers a simple recipe for stigmatizing and persecuting immigrants. It is a sterile argument, we know that immigrants are not a structural problem. The story of people is the story of migration, we are all or we have been immigrants. The point is that there is no will to confront the discourse of the extreme right with a radical discourse and praxis against neoliberalism. The rich have always enjoyed the self-satisfaction of humanitarian aid with the poor and I think there is something similar to that day in the hegemonic speeches and praxis for immigrants.

To beat the extreme right, we have to talk about people’s material problems (housing, wages, sharing of wealth…) and at the same time we have to fight against segregation. Not having papers to work is segregating, and that lowers the price of the workforce. Similarly, urban and school segregation must be put to an end in order to improve security, facilitate mutual understanding between different parties and promote social justice.
