If you have the time, read the article Corsi linked to. The author makes a good case that with the decline of traditional religious and moral authority, people are searching for alternate sources of meaning. The movements that are emerging to meet that need are the identarian social justice left, and alt-right nationalism.
I doubt we'll see genuine communism or fascism take over any time soon, but I do think those two illiberal, quasi-religious movements will have an increasingly powerful and malign influence on society. At the very least, they need to be identified for what they are and called out by the rational, liberal centre.
