If you really want to look at the significant ideological debate of this century it will be between dysfunctional democratic governments (ours) vs China. IIRC, they have about 3M of their population which controls all the government, and their government is horribly intrusive, but it also is a government of technocrats. Most of what we value is missing in their system. But it looks like they will hand us our heads in this century. They are doing it from a collective system, while the Tea Party is hell bent on seeing how the ideology of individualism will fare. It will be a very interesting next couple of decades.
