I agree with him on Canada and France (I don’t really know enough about Australia). This Canadian election only postponed the conservatives winning the next one and doing shock-therapy style economics. France is looking to go the same way.

It’s unfortunate that it feels like actual leftist options are out of the mainstream in elections and people don’t even know it because they think people like Macron and Carney are leftists (or anti-fascists) which is just wrong. It does feel like the centrists are stuck in the old word order where you follow free market doctrine and hope that exploitation of the third world bails you out. That and they continue being dogs for the US, but they obviously don’t like Trump and yet this is not enough for them to peel away from the US (I guess cause they still think he is just a phase and they can work with the next democrat president?).

The centrists ability to not do anything but light neoliberalism makes fascism in these countries inevitable, especially when they get their power from being an alternative to the right and repress anything on the left.
