Actual “labor” has a strong social conservative streak, especially in regards to migration.

Notice the protests by farmers, truckers, etc.

The progressive left in America is formed in heavily globalized universities. They are 100% in support of globalization, as they are beneficiaries and producers of it.

I don’t know where the “heart and soul” of the European progressive left is. Other than Spanish socialists, I don’t think there are many.

Eh, this varies. Most people in the labour force are young, and young people are generally leftward-leaning. In some regions of the UK, labour have traditionally been pretty socially progressive.

It does vary, as does support for neofascism.

There’s little support for neofascism in the UK, so it’s not the best example as to why fascism is making a comeback.
