The French President has warned Europe of a return to the 1930s because of the spread of a nationalist “leprosy” across the continent, in an interview published Thursday.

He also warned that Europe risked losing its sovereignty if it is “pushed around by foreign powers.”

“I am struck by similarities between the times we live in and those of between the two world wars,” he told the newspaper Ouest-France, urging people to be aware of the threats.

“In a Europe divided by fears, the return of nationalism, the consequences of economic crisis, one sees almost systematically everything that marked Europe between the end of World War I and the 1929 [economic] crisis,” the paper quoted him as saying. “You must bear that in mind, be clear-headed and know how to fight back,” he added. […]

He has notably singled out Hungary and Poland whose nationalist governments have clashed with Brussels, as well as Italy which has a populist government including the far-right League party figures. …

Instead of Jew hating Nazis, they have Jew hating Muslims. So he’s slightly correct.

He should be worried more about a return to the 7th century.

That's a fair statement. But tragically, Macron has misidentified who the Nazis are today. Here's a little hint.

What a nitwit. Europe risks losing its sovereignty by allowing in millions of migrants who do not share Europe's values and traditions.

Hitler respected Islam and thought it entirely preferable to Christianity.

"the return of nationalism"

As long as they keep forgetting history, they're destined to repeat it. It was National Socialism that happened in the 1930's, not Nationalism.

The Versailles Treaty had more than a little to do with that period as I recall. And Versailles is where, exactly?

The secularists have been importing Islam as part of dechristianizing Europe.

NAZI Socialists allied with North African Muzzies in WW2 - they shared similar enemies.

Macaroni doesn’t care about national sovereignty. To him, everyone is a subject of the EU first.

How quickly history is misremembered. What was creeping in the 30’s was communism and fascism. Throw in there the hatred for Jews and we got Naziism. Consider the unwillingness of most of the world accepting socialism and communism and Naziism lead to the outbreak of WWII.

Ironic too that this bit of history is misremembered by the French who are invariably the first to retreat, first to surrender, first to convert over.

What is this sovereign Europe of which he speaks? Can't find it on the roster of the United Nations. Any one seen a Europe passport?

All forms of leftism are antisemitic. Mussolini, a communist who merely retooled his communism to create “fascism”, would not have thought different of Jewry than Marx did:
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money.

Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently, from practical, real Judaism— would be the self-emancipation of our time. […]

What, in itself, was the basis of the Jewish religion? Practical need; egoism. The monotheism of the Jew, therefore, is in reality the polytheism of the many needs, a polytheism which makes even the lavatory an object of divine law. Practical need, egoism, is the principle of civil society, and as such appears in pure form as soon as civil society has fully given birth to the political state.

The god of practical need and self-interest is money.

Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world—both the world of men and nature—of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.

The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. …

On “The Jewish Question”, 1844
This viewpoint has of course percolated down into all forms of socialism, culminating in several holocausts on the way.
