You really think so? Take a look at what's going on in Venezuela right now. Take a look at the clashes between the citizenry and the state.
You're right about one thing. I doubt we will see outright state-vs-state modern warfare due to ideological underpinnings again. This time, we're looking at a much more sinister beast: state-vs-its own citizenry.
The state-vs-state casualties as a result of conflicts in the world during the WW2 era account for what % of the total casualties caused by the government ideologies that rose just prior to, and in the aftermath of WW1? 15%? Far more PEOPLE died at the hands of their own state (jews and "deplorables" in Germany)(Do-Nothings and "dissidents" in communist china and russia)

Most Democratic socialist politcians and their supporters here in the USA are mostly not Communists or Marxists as far as I know. I am not. We want better healthcare, we CAN survive taxing the super wealthy more, increasing government accountability, and getting money out of politics. Most of us do not want Communism, Marxism, or Fascism.
As a rule of thumb, many sources of leftist media will often take something incendiary or malevolent sounding some right-wing figure said out of context and greatly exaggerate the malevolence of it.
