Good news
Now we need a strong european libertarian movement
I think this is primarily due to social democratic support for multiculturalism and migration. Instead of focusing on working class economic issues they fell for the multi culti meme, now we will have the rise of the far right... I consider myself a leftist but the Western left has failed.

Ooooh it's this autist again.

Come right, white man.
Good fuck yurup,
this eternal imperialistic blight upon the world.

This basically. The original aims the centre left had at the start of the century, i.e. the welfare state, strong public services have been achieved, and are accepted by the right now as well. Multi-culti and migration have alienated working class people and a lot of middle class people too.
Soon enough the weird new-left parties like Syrzia, Podemos and whatever the fuck has happened to the labour party in the UK will be shown up for the jokes they are.

Not necessarily
The centre-left is folding, but that just means there will be more of both far-right and far-left movements
Social democracy was a coalition of metropolitan middle class and students, who are voting for other liberal movements, and the working class voters that are being poached by the far-right and far-left

Immigration will be the major point of the next couple of decades. 3rd world countries only grow by the day and continue to look to flood into the West. People like to compare it to history but it's actually unprecedented, especially coupled with the frail welfare systems we've established (and are predicated on general societal affluence).

I honestly think radical-centre reform-orientated but market-friendly economically-liberal parties are the future tbqhf
Pathetic, limpwristed Leftism and isolationist right-wing populism will be the death of Europe.
