Reformism as Demagoguery in a Partitocracy: The Masking of Corruption and Undemocratic Authoritarianism
Reformism, when manipulated by a corrupt political system, becomes a demagogic tool used to deceive the public and maintain power. In a system best described as a partitocracy, where political parties dominate government decision-making to serve their interests rather than the populace, reformist rhetoric serves to mask the inherent criminality and authoritarian tendencies of the ruling elite. This version of reformism does not aim for meaningful change but instead reinforces undemocratic policies that benefit corruption, opacity in political lobbies backdealing, and criminal organizations to perpetuate societal instability.
How to promote lasting Peace Treaty in the Russia Ukraine conflict and wider security agreements between NATO and Russia. Prospects of wider Geopolitical and economic stability.

The Ideological Parallels Between Nigel Farage and Hitler: Xenophobia, Racism, and AntiEuropeanism as AntiSemitism
The rise of nationalist and populist rhetoric in Europe, particularly in the context of Brexit, has drawn historical comparisons to authoritarian dictators as Adolf Hitler.
