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.
Really?
As far as I know there is a resurgence in nationalism.
USA, China, Russia, Brazil, Italy, Spain / Catalan, Even Hongkong ffs.. and the big daddy of all - INDIA.
As much as I hate far right stuff, it seems the world is suddenly right again.. I wish your theory of right to left was observable in the real world.
