V spodnjem zapisu Martina Wolfa v Financial Timesu zamenjajte ime Trump z Janša, Orban itd., pa boste dobili ranljivo stanje sedanje demokracije v svetu. Dobršen del sveta je zašel v populistično, neliberalno smer, kjer avtoritarni voditelji kreirajo fiktivno realnost za svoje sledilce, kjer so poteptali vse standarde politične kulture, pokorili pravosodni in represivni aparat ter javne medije, bogati posamezniki in menedžerji (industrialci) pa jim pri tem asistirajo v zameno za davčne odpustke in subvencije. Tako kot so Hitlerju pred 90 leti.
Če se tiha, zmerna, sredinska večina ne bomo angažirali, nas čaka obdobje fašizma. Čas je zdaj!

Equally surely, he will use the pressure that he can then exert on the wealthy and influential to bring them into line. Crony capitalism is among the probabilities. Ask the Hungarians who live in an “illiberal democracy” under a man admired by US rightwing pundits.
“Americans — and all but a handful of politicians — have refused to take this possibility seriously enough to try to prevent it”, notes Kagan. “As has so often been the case in other countries where fascist leaders arise, their would-be opponents are paralysed in confusion and amazement at this charismatic authoritarian.”
