alt-right is rising world-wide

Not really. China doesn't have such a problem, fascism in China is outlawed from the start. Europe could do the same (we've had precedent of parties being made illegal for being pro-Russian for example) but chooses not to.

the way we eradicated radical ideologies post-ww2 was through making life of average person bearable

"Operation Gladio was the codename for clandestine "stay-behind" operations of armed resistance that were organized by the Western Union (WU; founded in 1948), and subsequently by NATO (formed in 1949), and by the CIA (established in 1947), in collaboration with several European intelligence agencies during the Cold War. [...] According to several Western European researchers, the operation involved the use of assassination, psychological warfare, and false flag operations to delegitimize left-wing parties in Western European countries and to support anti-communist militias and right-wing terrorism who tortured communists and assassinated them."

Funny how we never have intelligence agency campaigns assassinating far-right leaders, capitalism reserves this treatment for lefties.
