So you are another thoughtless NPC.

Are you a communist?

Are you in the EU or from the global south?

To be fair, the EU is the only democratic alternative since they have enough size, strength and influence to not just resist outside influence, but also to project influence. Latin America is too disunited and the African Union is not at that stage yet to be as influential as the EU. For Asian countries, they are too insular and tribalistic to form their own regional bloc that is strong enough to resist outside influence.

Latin America is the unsung hero IMO. They have a “pink tide” since their leaders are mostly moderate leftists. There are exceptions of course such as El Salvador and Argentina (although to my knowledge, Javier Milei is nowhere near in trying to curtail civil liberties and human rights). Latin America had been off US’ radar since the Cold War and they can use that time to build closer relationships amongst each other by strengthening MERCOSUR and military ties.

There is Africa. Again, while there are exceptions, by and large many African nations are doing their best to uphold democratic values. The West African bloc, ECOWAS, had been great in the past ten years to oust African leaders who don’t want to step down. When Brexit happened, the African Union allowed freedom of movement among AU citizens at the same time. I can see AU becoming more united, although it will take more time than we would hope for.

India will become authoritarian I would say in the next couple of generations. The neoliberal policies and flirting with fascism by Modi have sown the seed for full blown far right movement in decades to come as far as I can tell.

For the Far East, they are too insular and have their own stupid, age old inter-racism against each to be more united, and the fragmented geography of Far East Asian countries, that is not China, makes cultural exchange and understanding difficult to create kinship necessary for a more political union. But I think they may stay democratic for the foreseeable future (now, Japan has a little surge of far right, but they are not a threat in the immediate future). Unless there is Asian NATO, the Far Eastern democracies won’t hold against the threat of China. Although again, Asians are too insular and geographically fragmented for closer cooperation.

I mean capital “L” Liberals are still pro-capitalism so they are still pro-corporations. Their policies are what contributed to the cost of living and housing crises across the world today. By all intents and purposes, the Liberal Party is right wing.

NDP backing some very anti-citizen policy.

I didn’t know about that. It seems to be the problem with many leftist parties is catering too much to the right.

plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books

What can I say? Libs gonna Lib.

Part of the blame is America exporting their brand of conservatism and Canada caught the flu.

The EU has fined X.

You’re not wrong. Many German generals were retained to advise NATO during the 1950s and 1960s because of their experience with the Soviets.
