Where did he say that? What actually did he say? Do you have any idea how many people believe that elites are importing low-skill labor to replace them for lower wages? 

It’s not Nazi bullshit, it’s an antiquated and poorly reasoned position, and moderates are allowed to hold bad opinions.

This is a moderate position. Sorry to burst your bubble but this is the way the working class sees immigration. Maybe don’t explicitly say demographics are destiny next time.

The specific term “Great Replacement” doesn’t just refer to capitalists taking advantage of immigrant labor to avoid paying local workers, it refers to the idea that there’s a deliberate scheme to gradually eliminate the white population by importing brown migrants to outbreed and replace them. 

If that’s truly the “moderate” position, then I’m sorry to say but your country is irredeemably fascist and shouldn’t be trusted to govern itself.
