An informative piece a year after the right-wing nationalist takeover in Poland.  There are two distinctive ingredients to developments there:  first, a commitment to a real social welfare state (including, e.g., cash payments to families with children); and second, conservative Catholic social views.  It's the latter that is responsible for a lot of the wickedness afoot in Poland, though the pattern is familiar.  Until orthodox religiosity of whatever stripe dies out, humanity will be at risk, alas.

ADDENDUM:  Or as RAWA put it:  "Fundamentalism is the mortal enemy of all civilized humanity."
