Communism on the rise? No - see China and the former Soviet states.
Totalitarianism, yes - lurching that way - but it is appearing in the form of nationalism and as far as I can see it seems to be coming more from the right wing than the left in the West.
We know you are a leftie so your opinion carries no weight. But for general information, culture always moves from right to left over time. Nationalism is a right wing thing. It is on the decline, and has been for decades. Multiculturalism is the opposite of nationalism.
So your prejudice about me wins the argument? And who is this 'we' you speak for?
I am a capitalist and generally libertarian actually, but no matter. However, just because I am not as jackbooted as you does not make my opinion of no value. I was attacking your sloppy and farcical arguments, not you. You, I pity.
If you think nationalism is in decline you are plainly deluded. America first? Brexit? AFD in Germany? Ergogan in Turkey... Poland's Law and Justice party... Orban in Hungary.... Seriously? The liberal consensus of the post-war West is in decline, not nationalism. Everyone printing money, 'strong men' in politics with idealistic simplistic solutions often involving stretching the truth..? Sounds more like a reversion to the politics of the 1930s to me.

Not to mention Brasil, Italy and Austria's last - and hopefully not also next government. They even kicked their fishy prime minister out, to pave their way to new elections! That's some totally fine democracy, or isn't it?
Good night to all, after observing $10.236. The green dildo went to a buttplug
