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.

This is interesting. We've had different ideologies overthrow monarchies. Nationalists in China, Communists in Russia (indirectly), Liberalism in France, treaty in Japan. And many other places for different reasons. To the point now where any country that has a monarchy its more symbolic then anything.
Do you feel we are reaching a point that maybe 'the republic' is at risk and could be replaced by something else either right-wing or left-wing?
