Many interpret the Russian civil war as an act of defending the world from a new Hitler, whose rusting tanks would conquer the whole world, including the US, in a few years and who would recreate the Auschwitz gas chambers. But elsewhere in the world, the same war is read as an act of rebellion against American dominance. The Sino-Russian alliance has decided not to submit and has gone into open warfare with all the consequences.
One of the topics of much of the discussion around this is Francis Fukuyama, or rather his concept of the end of history, according to which liberal ideology should have clearly prevailed everywhere decades ago, so that there should be nothing to argue about today, let alone war. Obviously, this is not working.
The whole “liberalism” has degenerated into the domination of a few corporations, the impoverishment of the majority of the population and the rampage of anti-civilization nutters…
In fact, the most interesting thing about the debate is the performance of Fukuyama himself, who is only 70 years old, so he can still lecture, write articles and give interviews. The fascinating thing is that even after all these decades he is not able to admit that his whole “liberalism” has degenerated into the domination of a few corporations, the impoverishment of the majority of the population and the rampage of anti-civilization nutters that those corporations use as their weapon against normal people. But if he can’t understand that, then he can’t even understand what it is about it that really bothers people. Why it is so hard to impose such an arrangement on people from other civilizations, but why even within his own civilization it must be imposed on people through a combination of economic coercion, constant bullying, and secret service activities. Fukuyama, for example, has not noticed that free speech is somehow restricted in American universities!
A theory that is incapable of seeing (let alone dealing with) such basic things is completely useless.
