AI summary · From the event listing

Right-wing political parties have been gaining power through the ballot box in more and more geopolitically important countries in recent years. These radical parties - not the same as the center-right parties that exist in almost all democratic countries and govern off and on while playing by the rules - are surging in global popularity. Here are some of the nations that are currently governed by right-wing political parties, have been until very recently, or may soon be. -- Argentina\, Brazil\, Columbia\.\, Chile\, Bolivia -- Italy\, France\, Netherlands\, Germany\, Hungary (recently voted out)\, Croatia\, and even Sweden\. -- India (BJP)\, Türkiye\. -- USA\. This doesn't even count Putin's Russia or the four dozen (!) or so countries typically categorized as "unfree," like China, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Sudan. (A few are left-wing.) The key points for our purposes, IMO, are that (1) these right-wing parties usually were freely elected, (2) it is a worldwide phenomenon so maybe there are common voter grievances or failures by mainstream parties, and (3) the right-wing parties loosely cooperate with and mutually support one another.
