Far-right parties are topping polls across Europe’s biggest democracies while already sitting in cabinets and even leading governments in several EU countries and beyond.

The problem is capitalism because it creates extreme unelected power in an extremely small self interested minority

I'd say its not capitalism itself but rather representative forms of governance. Once you introduce representatives into the election system these positions are going to be filled with egoists in the long run because they naturally distill the minority of assholes in a society to the top. For reference: Representative communism leads to the same problems with the same overall outcome.

    Representatives don’t corrupt on their own. The easiest path to keeping your job as a rep is to do what people want. The capitalists corrupt the representatives with the money to get things tipped their way. I don’t blame the lung cancer, I blame the cigarette for causing it.
