The totalitarian (neo-communist), ILLIBERAL "left" (the New Clerisy/media-tech oligarch alliance) will, instead of seeing that its continued spread is one of the primary causes of reactionary proto-fascism, bear down on attempting to impose failed neo-communist/neo-marxist strategies, even though that will even further strengthen proto-fascism.
Thus, I conclude that leftists are generally stupid and evil.
In "projecting" their stupidity and evil onto their critics, they will shoot themselves in the foot (and probably other body parts).
I'm looking forward to you publishing “In Defense of Proto-Fascism”.
My guess is that
1. as postmodern, ILLIBERAL, totalitarianism ("mean green meme", neomarxism) spreads (Biden's "Ministry of Truth" being the most ridiculous example yet) and as
2. the high-social-trust foundations of modern-rationalist institutions erode due to neoliberal globalism, and as
3. the general regression to pathological "tribalistic" identities continues, [social fragmentation/atomization]
4. there will be a "natural" reaction, similar to how prison gangs form, and
5. that will lead to ethno-nationalist survival strategies (which in the USA, has already shown up as neoconfederate, populist resentment {Trumpism} mutating into broad working class and traditionalist resentment).
Neo-conservatives are already trying to reformulate themselves as "National Conservatives" (Trumpism without Trump), but that seems like more of an example of the right-wing of the PMC looking for a new marketing scheme than any kind of authentic expression of populist, working class resentment.
