Communism has largely disappeared in practice. Even if the rhetoric is bandied around a lot by professors. However, the dominant ideology of the modern Western world is the bastard child of Marxism and is a radical leftist ideology. Spawned in part by the Marxists of the Frankfurt School and post-modernism.
This ideology does not yet have a proper name and this is by design because it seeks to manipulate and obfuscate. Letting itself be identified would allow it to be criticized more easily.
Like Marxism it is collectivist, authoritarian, totalitarian, international, secular, and professes egalitarianism - though like Marxism in practice fosters inequality and exploitation. It is anti-white, anti-male, anti-Western, anti-family, anti-nationalism, opposes individual liberty on principle as well as in practice. It is progressive, utopian, militant, and anti-human. It is pro-homosexuality, pro-abortion, pro-transsexuality, and otherwise supports moral and sexual degeneracy. It favors control of information and education and opposes parental influence on children. It is anti-art, anti-skill, anti-beauty, anti-culture, anti-tradition - which is all part of being anti-human.
Unlike Marxism, this ideology is not concerned with workers or the poor, it fact it is openly contemptuous of them and advocates their harm or exploitation. It is implicitly corporatist and the leaders of this movement are usually heavily involved in business, corporations, banking, media, finance, and crony capitalism in general. This movement openly supports the elites, including economic elites, having power over the lives of the populace - a stark contrast with Marxism at least in theory. The movement is post modern and anti-scientific, casually rejecting facts or logic that conflict with their presuppositions. Though they frequently engage in scientism and appeal to the idea, but seldom the reality, of science.
Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, communism. This ideology and movement that dominates the west isn’t communism, but it was spawned largely from Marx and subsequent related leftist ideologies, though it rejects many economic aspects of Marxism in favor of overt corporatist oligarchy.
