As an Australian, who has kept a close eye on politics across 5 eyes for 20+ years, this is the same across all of them, and almost every western "democracy".

There is no leftism left in any major/mainstream "leftist" party. There is only conservative/fascism and neoliberalism, both of which create the economic and social conditions in the working class that lead to fascism/dictatorship. I've come to the conclusion that capitalism is likely incompatible with democracy... maybe even human psychology is incompatible with democracy, as it seems the most greedy, sociopathic, and authoritarian tend to gain popular support and end up in power eventually, no matter what.

I agree with everything except that humanity is incompatible with democracy.
