You have to admit that "the right" probably engages in more blatant anti-democratic efforts than the not-so-far-right, albeit with a bit of guilty lip-biting on the part of liberals who quietly go along with such schemes.
For sure, but let's not fall into the Naomi Klein trap and assume that the right can only take power through force and maintain it through torture. Though the sun might be setting on them now, the right won a series of electoral victories over the last 25 years in Britain, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, India...and managed to turn previously leftish parties into milder versions of themselves. How did they do this?
