My reply is quoted below.
I see your point. However, there were two essential ingredients of the Nazi rise to power that are not present in EU – the freshly demobilized military and the freshly dethroned royalty. The epigones of the Hohenzollern monarchy (the Junkers and the industrial magnates) were the main anti-democratic forces in Weimar Germany, while the freshly demobilized military (freikorps and its spinoffs) provided the organization and the muscle to the fascist movement. And there is a third element, or rather catalyst – the clear and imminent “danger” of a Bolshevist revolution. Nothing of that sort exists in EU. What you see instead is a bunch of technocrats and corporate officers who are committed to democratic governance because they know how to use it to their advantage, and a bunch of angry grunts who have no other place to go but to stay with the current system. There is no Bolshevist alternative promising rosy distant future, and there are no freikorps promising instant power grab now. So I do not see the European history repeating itself, as it were, twice – except perhaps as the farce of football hooligans passing for fascists.
