Comment on If America descends into fascism, does Australia just grin and bear it?

The problem with fascism is that it’s not just the USA. It’s coming quick to Canada. Germany’s AfD are just a few more elections from winning big. There are more… it’s just going to be real rough to be NOT a fascist country when so many of them will be.

Reform in the UK, National Rally in France.
That leaves India as the most “liberal and democratic” of the nuclear armed countries in the coming decade. Followed by Cuba.

That’s not comforting at all!!!

I don’t agree with this assessment of India. It is also on a right-wing, authoritarian path under the Hindu nationalist BJP. In bed with Putin too. India as it is now is no champion for liberal democracy unfortunately.

The competition, Reform in the UK, Trump in the US, National Rally in France, Likud in Israel, make India the least authoritarian of the lot.
