considering the current state of the world and things like the resurgence of fascism and other authoritarian ideologies, do you think there is still a chance to avoid a new world war or now is unavoidable?

We're already in it. There are currently 57 conflicts in the world, of which several are international. Things will escalate. World tension is rising, the far right is on the rise, it's the 1930's all over again. Or at least, in some parts of the world. In other parts it's already the 1940's, with totalitarian regimes, genocide and concentration camps.
