Very Tangible, Important Points

Of course Keir Starmer and Giorgia Meloni get on like a house on fire. Centrism and right-wing populism are con tricks to sell exactly the same economic and foreign policies to different audiences by pretending to wage a culture war. Fascism is inherent in both of them, and it never arises except by their joint enterprise.

While pre-existing conservative phenomena have been known to ally with Fascism, usually to their own ruin, it is the liberal bourgeoisie that keeps Fascism in reserve for when it might ever face any serious demand to share its economic or social power with anyone who did not have it before the rise of the bourgeois liberal order, or to share its cultural or political power with anyone at all.

Thus, both Starmer and Meloni welcomed the appointment of Michel Barnier by Emmanuel Macron because that was who Marine Le Pen wanted, or could at least work with, to keep out the New Popular Front. A Fascist movement never gets anywhere unless it has been at least cultivated and often directly created by the likes of Starmer and Macron, they will always back it against the Left because that is why they have it, and no Fascist has ever come to power except by some form of that arrangement. Nor ever will.
