"unlikely to go down the populist demagogue route of the 1930s"

Unlikely? 1930s Europe people were not savages. They were already "modern", "acculturated" people. Most of what makes European culture was already existing then. Yet it didn't hinder the tragedy. They listened to utter mad men promoting a reboot of the Roman Empire, and a Reich. And followed them in bloody horrible crimes and to self-destruction.

Are we sure 2030s Europe will be different? Le Pen is a nostalgic of Napoleon's France. Italy has still many politicians who believe Mussolini was a great leader... young people growing up in such an environment what will thing and do?

Older people should have understood it. It looks they forgot.
