common people of USA and their aspirations.
In the b irth place of democratic ideals and liberal ideals of freedom, equality and fraternity, the Europe-the rightist parties are gaining ground. The Brexit is the consequence of the conservative and rightist ideas implanted in to the toiling people who have been pauperised due to the austerity measures imple-mented in the E. U. countries.
Sluggish economy and the convulsions created by the influx from war-torn Syria have resulted in gaining ground to the ultra-right parties across European Union countries. The anti-immigrant, anti- European union, protectionist national front in France, the farright Alternative for German party, the anti-immigrant Freedom party in Austria, Hungarian and Polish rig ht-wingers are the worst consequence of the rule of the finance capital on the globe.
In Germany again Nazism is gaining ground through Alternative for Germany party. The party is demanding to stop aid to Greece, to not to allow refugees and migrants. Various protests were conducted against Islam. Propagating against Islam ideas and opposing Muslims, migrants and ref ugees. The language and the ideas propagated by the leaders“ patriotic Europeans against Islamisation of West” organisation and A. F. G party are akin to the language used by Adolf Hitler. They have targeted Islam religion and spreading hatred and intolerance against Muslims.
Recently in Greece, the parents’ associations in the towns of Fillipi and in Oraikastro, have opposed the refugee children to attend local schools, by writing a letter to the Education ministry saying“ explicitly and categorically, that they will not accept under any circumstance and without any compromise that the children of socalled irregular immigrants” attend
14 local schools.“ They( the migrant children) come from another continent with completely different diseases and health conditions, different out-look regarding the role of family, of women or religion” and their presence would alter the Greek character of the schools”.“ W e will not allow religious fanaticism.” They even threatened to occupy the school ground in protest if refugee-children are allowed to join classes in the school. A few days earlier, the Mayor of Oraikartro town had called on residents to take the law in to their own hands amid rumours that some refugees were moving in to houses in the area. That is how the anti-refugee and anti-migrant reactionary opinions have spread among people of Greece and deep rooted.
In UK after Brexit, racist attacks are on rise. A series of racist incidents occurred in U. K. after Britain’ s decision to leave the E. U., intimidating migrants, telling them they need to go home. Shocking incidents of abuse directed against polish community have occurred. Graffiti reading like“ Leave E. U-no more polish vermin” is scrawled on polish community center in Hammer Smith London, laminated cards with such abuse are posted to polish community in Huntington, Cambridge. Antiracism group Far Right Watch reported that they recorded over 90 incidents within 3 days ranging from verbal abuse to physical violence. The economically vulnerable including factory workers, farm labourers and unem ployed, who have b een ruined by the imperialist globalisation policies of world finance capital have succumbed to these racist ideas and prejudices, who are discontent. According to Scotland Yard commissioner sir Bernard Hogan-How, the hate crime was increased sharply in the months of June and July( 2016), and they are particularly targeted against Eastern Europeans. Pinchas Goldschmidt, the president of the conference of European Rabbis, stated that the very survival of Jewish Communities will be thrown in to doubt as the‘ anti-Semitism’ of old Europe, and the extreme right in Europe. He told that anti- Semitism is rampant in European countries. According to a survey 22 % Jews surveyed in nine European countries avoided Jewish events or sites because they feared for their safety. 40 % of the 1,200 Jews surveyed in France said they avoided wearing symbols that identified them as Jews for fear of anti-Semitic attacks. Such are the bleak conditions existing in EU, for the survival of humanity.
Even in Denmark, Netherlands and Austria the far right parties are gaining ground.
In India the BJP backed by reactionary SanghParivar forces has obtained governmental power. The Hindutva fanatic forces are ruling the roost, entrapping the society and menacing the survival of minorities, dalits and other oppressed sections of the people. Culture policing and attacks of lumpen gangs in the guise of GauRakshaks has been rampant. National Chauv inism against Pakistan is being fuelled officially and hate against Islamism is churned in the guise of‘ fight against terrorism’. Rule by law replaced the Rule of law. The law is used to attack democratic minded people, activists and the political opponents. That the Hindusena a Hindutvaorganisation has celebrated Donald Trump’ s Birthday, at JantarMantar, Central Delhi with audio cassettes, balloons, posters and festive clothes in June( 2016) and with all fanfare. It clearly indicates that reactionary forces are on the rise becoming a severe threat to the social fabric of this already tattering society.
