So even a social democracy like Finland has troubles with far right fascism. That does not bode well.
Modifying the cliche phrase, good times make complacent people, complacent people want fast solutions, fascists promise fast solutions, fascists create bad times, bad times create aware people, aware people create good times
It’s funny how history repeats. Humans never learn.
“But it’s different this time!”

I truely believe that this is not an act of god and blame “thats how history works”.
I know for a fact that russia is mangled in politics in many many countries and it has full blown departments with the sole purpose of inciting controversy and “extremify” the “west”.
All these fascists raising their head can be directly linked in many countries to russian propaganda.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
HELSINKI, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Finland's former Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who narrowly lost an election in April, stepped down on Friday as chair of the centre-left Social Democrats, hoping to take the focus off her personal life after an often turbulent four years at the helm.
Marin, who had announced her intention to quit soon after the election loss, was the world's youngest prime minister when she took the post in 2019 aged 34, attracting attention around the globe and helping lift Finland's profile.
After leading the country through COVID-19 lockdowns and the ensuing economic turmoil, Marin became a vocal supporter of Ukraine after Russia's invasion last year and succesfully pushed to end Finland's military non-alignment in favour of NATO membership.
Marin, now 37, has appeared on the covers of Vogue and Time Magazine, has a million followers on Instagram and is considered by fans around the world as a millennial role model for progressive leaders.
But at home, voters concerned with issues like immigration and a growing public deficit in April handed Marin a narrow defeat to the right wing National Coalition and the far-right Finns party, triggering the government's fall.
The drug test was negative, Marin announced, and she apologised to Finns when a picture from a party at the prime minister's seaside residence showed two well-known female influencers covering their bare breasts with a "Finland" sign.

And her biggest fuck-up was... attending a party?!?
