Will that happen in the future? I hope not, but right now I'm not optimistic. Tensions are growing between Western Europe and Eastern Europe over the former region's increasingly blatant attempts to subjugate the latter region through the European Union. Tensions are growing in the Balkans due to the rise of Erdoğan's Turkey. Tensions are growing in Eastern Europe due to the crisis in Ukraine. Russia, Germany, France, and Turkey are all presenting blatant challenges to American hegemony over both Europe and the Middle East. Not only is a war between NATO and Russia possible, but now so is an intra-NATO war. More details on the latter [https://www.conservapedia.com/Essay:_Is_Donald_Trump%27s_NATO_policy_good_for_American_national_intersts%3F here]. There is good reason to believe that the West is on its way to repeat the mistakes of 1914. It's not too late to step back from the abyss, but time may be running out. I pray that President Trump does us a favor and prevents such a war. He would essentially go down in history as the man who prevented the return of Fascism, although the left probably will try to find a way to keep that out of the books...--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 13:15, 31 August 2018 (EDT)

:I agree with your overall point for the most part. However, I'm not entirely sure Fascism isn't compatible with Democracy. Technically, it is if we define "democracy" as being the kind practiced by the French Revolutionaries, or even the New Left (they certainly used democracy and similar terms like "participatory democracy", "democracy on the streets", and the like). Besides, technically, America isn't a democracy, it's a Constitutional Republic. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 18:27, 31 August 2018 (EDT)

Technically, it is if we define "democracy" as being the kind practiced by the French Revolutionaries, or even the New Left (they certainly used democracy and similar terms like "participatory democracy", "democracy on the streets", and the like). In fact, both Lenin and Marx specifically indicated that democracy was a key component to socialism/communism at the very least, and is even one and the same with it.
