I wish you were right. I don't mind governments and political parties who aren't fascist. Democratic socialists and responsible environmentalists can AI-pump their ideology all they like and it's not going to do much harm to civilization. But if they are doing it at all, they're not doing it anywhere near the level that fascists and kleptocrats are. The latter benefit from radical change, and they are using AI to achieve that.
