Is the world beginning to reject far-left ideology?

As the title asks.

Honestly don't know anymore what left and right are but I see you could have a point.

The mainstream majority of adults always have rejected revolutionary and fringe politics.

The only real difference now is the power of the internet is now frequently being harnessed by grassroot activists and bad apples.
To disseminate information very quickly and social media providing a very large potential audience for the ill-intentioned waging disinformation campaigns or commit crimes online while hiding behind a username & keyboard.

Moved to uk and world politics

I don’t know about the world but I’m personally starting to reject it in some contexts.

What do you mean beginning to? Far left ideology never really took off in the UK.

It peaked in other countries decades ago before declining.

40% of people voted Corbyn in 2017 to be fair. While not a ringing endorsement, it showed that the left were at least willing to support a pacifist, republican seperatist in the name of power.
