Here's a helpful diagram:

    Politics   <--------- Left ------ Center ------ Right ---------->
               |                         |       Neoliberalism      |
    Economics  |     Anti-capitalism     |        Capitalism        |
    US         |                      DSA    Democrats  Republicans |  
    Germany    |                  SPD           CDU/CSU         AfD |
    UK         |                    Greens     Labor  Tories Reform |           
    France     |              LFI           Renaissance          RN |

There are some general observations one can make:

1. The far-right parties are linked and coordinated and generally funded by very wealthy people;

2. The rise of far right parties is a direct result of declining material conditions;

3. Far right parties get to blame immigration and trans people because, in general, there is no counterbalance to that narrative blaming the actual cause: capitalism and ever-increasing income and wealth inequality;

4. The "moderate" (which really means centrist or center-right parties) will predictably and routinely ally with far-right parties to crush any leftist momentum. As an aside, the term "moderate" is intentionally conflated by pollsters, politicians and the media and really means nothing;

5. The topic of economics is typically avoided in most Western countries because the economics are indefensible. Instead you have manufactured wedge issues to divide people such as immigraiton, gay rights and the existence of a handful of trans people. This suits both major parties in most countries because they're both neoliberal, which is to say that they are uniparty on defending capitalism;

6. People will defend capitalism and attack socialism without knowing what either of those things are. Ask someone what capitalism is and you'll usually get a hand-wavy claim about "free markets" or even just "markets", which isn't true at all. No markets are free and markets exist in every economic system. Some of our earliest writings from 4000+ years ago are about market transactions.

So when you see things like protests in France, the rise of Reform in the UK and the rise of AfD (as well as others such as in Italy) know that it's all related and has the same root cause.

Fascism is capitalism in crisis. We saw how that worked out in the 1930s in the wake of the Great Depression. In the US, FDR was forced to make concessions to the working class to stave off the perceived threat of communism. In Germany we got Hitler. And after WW2, the US went on an imperialism frenzy, imperialism being the highest form of capitalism.

All of this is only going to get worse until we address the core issue, which is capitalism.
