I don't think fascism or socialism have dissapeared. I would not say modern western societies are fascist, I don't even believe Bush is technically a fascist, although I don't think he's really far away from that either. What I mean is that fascism as a form of goverment does not exist, but it still exists as an attitude. But then again, maybe fascism dosen't seem like the correct word to use, maybe "absolutist" or something along those lines works better, because fascists are absolutists, but not all absolutists are fascists. Blah, blah, blah.

As for socialism, well, I think it's hard to say. It exists, socialism, communism, anarchism, romanticism, etc, they exist as attitudes, not as political systems (Cuba can be considered the closest thing to socialism, but sadly I tend to associate socialism with social liberalism, and Cuba has some nasty repressive laws). Personally, I take what I like from all of them, although I don't claim to be in any of those to avoid being imagined as some damn social stereotype. But yes, I do believe every social liberal movement has an attitude of those, even if the people in it are not always communists, socialists, anarchists or romantics.
