Are the elections in Europe an early indicator of the EU's dissolution and the rise of national socialism?

Not at all. Europeans know their history, and will not have to relive it.

It is the nature of free-market capitalism for economies to fluctuate. There is no reason to believe that the current downturn - no matter how troubling it is now - will not lead into a new upturn.

The EU was never a natural alliance, the various nations of Europe have a long history of making war on one another. It would be as if the States had fought various wars against each other throughout history, each keeping their own identity

No.

Ironically enough Germany seems to be the only voice of sanity in Europe these days.

No.

Why do you ask?

No one with any brain sees any rise in fascism.

Yes and Yes. End of story.

I think more of national fascism.

Possibly, yes.

Maybe they are disappointed in capitalism and the free market.

If Europe falls, socialism falls with it.

Some people never learn from their mistakes and double down on stupid...democrats come to mind on that point.
