Summary/Abstract: Anti-communism is one of the pillars of the right-wing ideological hegemony during the second decade of the 21st century. The Brazilian president, Bolsonaro, fights communism in his country, the US president, Trump, and the Madrid journal El Pais fight communism in Venezuela (as well as in their own countries), and the Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, exposes the communist methods of the ruling party, Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, while the pro-government media in Poland trace the communist genealogies of Wyborcza’s editors. Anti-communism blooms in Hungary, in Russia, in Turkey, and in the Philippines.
