LAST YEAR was a significant year for anti-racists worldwide. Far-right populist parties came to the fore in most European nations, were re-elected in India, elected in South America and of course having taken over the US Republican Party saw their candidate elected in Donald Trump.
All these trends have a common theme. Free-market capitalism, anti-worker and anti-democracy. That’s not to say there won’t be major disagreements as shown by the current trade disputes, but the trends remain there.
Last year should not have been a surprise. Far-right parties and candidates had been building support electorally and via a myriad of influencers. Channels such as GB News — most recently rightly called out for an anti-semitic broadcast — and blogs regularly spin narratives scapegoating migrants. Influencers like the Tates have millions of followers.
