You are trying to interpret events thru a conspiracy theory approach. The thing that unites politics everywhere today is the underlying philosophic premises most people accept, particularly the morality of altruism, and its logical political expression: collectivism.
I always suggest people read Ayn Randโshe explains so clearly the role of basic ideas for good and ill.
@QueenAnticommie Ayn Rand explains this: the morality of altruism (self-sacrifice). Morality is a far more fundamental influence than "working"โuntil people reject altruism as an ideal, and embrace a morality of rational self-interest, they will continue to see socialism/communism as an "ideal"
This remains the best video ever.

@piyush784066 False opinion. Even something as supposedly simple as network setup can become a nightmare. Eg, I run both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24 in a Parallels VM. Drivers and networking Just Workโข๏ธ in Windows; took me several hours in Linux.
