I'm not too much in global politics. I'm much more interested in local politics and personal stories/memoirs. Currently reading "The Prairie Populist" which is about George Hara Williams. Kinda interesting how Socialist and Marxists thrived in the Prairies before and after WW2.
Read it. It's fascinating. If you ask a random person in Toronto or Montreal in which province thousands of white socialist farmers advocated against fascism with even violent methods, they probably wouldn't guess Saskatchewan.
It's really something. The Liberals were in power back then in Saskatchewan and they tried to associate the CCF with the NSDAP, because the CCF advocated for Socialism and the NSDAP had the word Socialist in their name.

Didn't work that well and kinda funny if you think about the current political landscape.
