Francis Fukuyama call democratization as "getting to Denmark" because all around the world people see Denmark as the prototypical "normal country" that they'd like to emulate. Interestingly, in 2000s, Denmark has taken the lead on immigration limitation.http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/fukuyamas-world/ …

Seems the only dividing line between left and right is the immigration 'hinge'. You can be pro-life / gay rights, pro-socialised gov' services etc (all the trad marks of the left) - but if you're a 'restrictionist', you instantly fall off an invisible cliff to the far-right...

They have their priorities. Open borders are at or near the top. But try being a pro-life leftist and see if they welcome you. Or deny the non-importance of race. Or insist on traditional gender roles... There oh-so many ways to become an un-person.

Example: Social Liberal party's leader speculated about a red-brown(i.e. Nazi) government. He has been widely panned across the board and in our NYT(Politiken) for that comment. Will be interesting to see how this affects Sweden's coming election 2/2https://politiken.dk/indland/politik/art6568033/Morten-%C3%98stergaard-er-kommet-i-stormvejr-efter-nazi-antydning …

Nazis are ready right-wing is an Article of Faith, but open borders have priority. Anyway, they could just say the Social Democrat party went "hard-right" or that it was never *really* leftist.

Left-of-center is Fascism. More government control over people = Left = authoritarian = Fascism = communism.
