Is the world shifting rightward
The article focuses on the rise of populist right-wing power globally, amidst the decline of democracies and the increase in authoritarian populist policies in many European countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, and the Netherlands, as well as in some parts of Asia and Latin America. It demonstrates that this surge is linked to economic and political factors and, in some aspects, resembles the characteristics of fascism in the 1930s, with growing military preparations and international tensions, especially with Russia. The article also emphasizes that research indicates democracy is declining in more than half of the world's countries, while more authoritarian regimes are taking power, posing the risks of sliding into expansionist and repressive forms of rule similar to those Europe experienced between the two world wars.
