The only correct way to fight fascism in Austria is by fighting against the source of fascism --monopoly capitalism. Ranting and raving outside Austrian embassies simply plays into the hands of both fascism and the EU. The EU have mobilised against Austrian fascism joining the government. They are simply doing this to protect the imperialist EU. This represents a new turn by the EU to control domestic politics more directly. This indicates the growing danger of the EU to the democracies of individual countries. If a very radically left party wins power they may just as likely mobilise against that government too. The more success the EU has in controlling and even dictating the politics of individual countries the more despotic it becomes --thereby sharing some of the characteristics of fascism. As I said the best way to fight fascism is by fighting imperialism --not assisting it by going along with the imperialist EU. Indeed it is the EU that has helped create conditions for the emergence of fascism. Simply protesting against a fascist element existing in the Austrian government as many of these protesters are is mere liberalism. It wants capitalism but a respectable capitalism.
