“The electoral success of far-right parties across Europe, the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, and Donald Trump’s victories in the 2016 and 2024 U.S. presidential elections have heightened concerns about the stability and future of liberal democratic institutions in the West. These developments reflect not merely a populist backlash but a more profound authoritarian turn, wherein post-fascist movements emerge within and increasingly against liberal democratic frameworks.”
