@mmorschel also, a strategic narrative is painfully necessary to defend against the strongman's propaganda: "Communism" "weak" "Elitist" etc. It needs to be a story that is not just idealistic or condescending, it needs to show how people will actually benefit in their daily lives. With measureable outcomes on short term as well, to feed the momentum...It's certainly a difficult menu but I'm convinced Europe holds the right ingredients.
