Why is there this swing to populism in so many countries? The seed of authoritarian tendancies are in all of us. It is in the contrarian, it is in people who adopt the distrust and misgivings of fellow citizens, it is in anyone who feels their ideas are better than those guys, it is in you when you feel if it weren't for THEM we would be OK. If only we could get rid of... Fighting against fascism with Democratic institutions is slow against the instant lies and baseless claims of the right wing. It almost seems like nazis don't grow fatigued while the left grows tired. Populism doesn't need a majority. When threats and violence are used, a relatively small minority is all populists need.
