You're essentially making my point for me.

Which policies of the extreme right are these parties adopting?
I get it - you don’t like any party in the world that isn’t leftist. But this schtick of pretending that parties that aren’t leftist are all alike is weak. It’s the kind of purity-policing that keeps your lot from ever winning an election, and instead falling back on the delusion that you’re still achieving something by ‘shifting the discourse.’ Sorry, defeating the far right means engaging in the messy and unromantic work of electoral politics, not complaining on the internet.
