:doomer: Honestly I felt that the west have already been lost to fascism, as you said reactionary thought is extremely mainstream, leftist movement are extremely marginalized with little power in real life, and the only people who gives the people outlet for their anger over the deteriorating conditions are fascists. At the moment legitimately the only place where leftist though still have a strong hold plain and simple are in China, the smaller AES states, and parts of the Global South.
The good news is with how extremely short-sighted modern capitalists are along with how self-destructive contemporary fascists and reactionaries are it is likely that we will see the west collapsing in this century under the pressure of both climate change and undeniable contradictions. The bad news is of course this would come at the cost of billions of people caught in the crossfire, not just in the west world but also in the global south as we will likely see the dying west thrashes about and lunges at south in desperate bid for resource and because of plain fascist blood thirst.
Perhaps at that point I really hope China would finally be ready to step up in its role as the fortress of world socialism and took a more proactive step to counter the west and protect the south, but it is likely in its final dying moment the west would rather see the world burn in atomic fire rather than seeing it at the hand enemy.
