Rise of fascism threatens to collapse global democracy
Cape Times
|January 26, 2026
THE current global rise of fascism has left a bewildered world rather breathless.
-
Since it was first popularised by dictator Benito Mussolini in the 1920s, fascism, and accusations of it, have become a common theme in global political discourse.
The frightening signs of fascism are growing around the globe and come at different levels and in different stripes in modern times.
In her book titled “Fascism:A Warning’, Former U.S. Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright implores the global community not to take democracy for granted like we have been.
It is a grim fact that democracy is “under assault and retreat” across Asia, Africa, South America, Europe and The USA.
Mankind must not bury the threat of encroaching fascism and instead work together against its rise by recognising the omnipresent signs.
