   Unfortunately it has not died the well deserved death.   
   It was knocked on the head, was unconscious momentarily, but then was   
   immediately resuscitated by the filthy rich plutocratic and nepotist   
   ruling classes.

   For the real political Left to gain traction there has to be a real and   
   sustained collapse of the capitalist economies seriously disabling the   
   behind the scenes operating puppet-master-ultra-capitalist ruling classes.   
   At the moment all means of communication (and hence the means to spread   
   brain washing propaganda) is under the stranglehold of the political far   
   right...and sadly that is the case world wide ... it matters not if the   
   country is straight forward capitalist or if it is state capitalist (see   
   China), the sorry outcome for the working class is the same everywhere.   
      
   And the far right is now quite ready to switch to outright fascism ...   
   the technological means to introduce and maintain an Orwellian Utopia are   
   well advanced.

   Keep on fighting the far-right propaganda.   
   Educate the oncoming generations.   
      
   Misinformation and historical revisionism spread on mass, the large scale   
   political illiteracy of the working and middle classes and the spread of   
   religious fundamentalism (as so clearly observable in the not so great US   
   of A) if left unchallenged only leads to a further shift towards the far   
   right.   
      
   Given the current mobility of the World population, and the sophisticated   
   use of social media can and will help the political left in countering   
   capitalist neo-Liberalism eventually...providing we don't enter the era   
   of world wide full blown capitalist-fascism.
