Figure 6.2. Social democracy and fascism compared

The paradox here is the silent abandonment of the social democratic model—both the abandonment of the ideals that were perfectly separable from racism, and the abandonment of a former constituency that has, in the absence of leadership, moved to the nationalist right, sometimes even the extreme right (see Zizek 2000). The major enemies of the new party, those who are categorized as Nazis and racists today, are precisely those who once were loyal socialists. There is certainly plenty to forget here, but much of it happened in the past decade and not fifty years ago. This distancing from the socialist component of the ideology is achieved by making its link to nationalism an instrument of exclusion and social distancing. The logic of this shift in elite identity is taken up in the following chapters.
