I've just finished Orwell's Road to Wigan Pier, and there's a big contrast between the threat of fascism then (1930s) and now.

Then there were three fascist controlled countries in Europe and Japan made a fourth for the world total. Today, there are no fascist countries and the movement is a 10% rump in the polls.

By the way, this is by far the best the far right has done in general elections for a while. 

UKIP in Britain, by the way, is one the verge of self-destruction. It's by no means all healthy for the far right.
