Isn’t it crazy how so many modern democracies use FPTP and are all slouching towards fascism? It’s almost like the rules of the game dictate expected outcomes.

“But Socialism only works on paper. In reality, it’s too easy to corrupt and always trends towards fascism.”

Gestures broadly at current state capitalism.

The far-right is surging in countries like Germany and Sweden too, where they use PR, not FPTP.

Not necessarily fptp. Portugal had broadly proportional representation and is seeing an increase in far right
