This comment strikes me as foolish since, however much one might object to some of the distortions and follies of the far left, it is, save in a few institutions here and there, in power nowhere I know. The right is in power or is dangerously close to acquiring it, including in the United States. I mean by the right the Republican Party and the right of illiberal democracies as they call themselves. Where does one find a Burke-like conservatism anywhere in the world today? Percentages are irrelevant. The vast prevalence of authoritarianism, the control of the media, the uses of lies and propaganda for purposes of power are to be found on the right. To state otherwise is pure mendacity.
