dumb nip should've stayed in da internment camp lmao

His actual treatises on political order and decay are pretty decent

>literally everything he wrote was wrong

Can tell you're a pseud because you take an author's main ideological work and pretend that it's his entire corpus and use it as a basis to negate his reputation entirely. Leave this board and actually read a book

everything he wrote in the essay, I haven't read the rest of his shit

The thing is, a serious scholar would never write a work that can be characterized as an "ideological" work.

Hindsight. It’s fair to make the assumption based on the climate.

>eastern bloc collapsed
>china was opening up
>US and UK prospering
>centrist parties dominating
>russia was a us puppet

It really seemed like the US had totally won and had reached global hegemony.

Historicism is poor practice in general.
Whig history, Marxism, Spengler's model, Evola's model, the whole weak-men-make-hard-times meme - they just don't up to close scrutinity. Facts are retrofited to the theory, instead of having the theory built off the facts.

Is clash of civilizations more accurate?

Because the need to theorize and need to build a historical continuum, are hard to over come. People need a narrative and those who can puzzle together a broader picture strive to find meaning in it.
The realities of power, unpredictability of events and overall increasing volume of events that are being reported simultaneously creates narrative chaos that ceases to fit into a narrative that can be spun.

Name a single 'serious scholar' who didn't write a single ideological work. Note that Fukuyama and many other serious scholars did repudiate what they wrote in their later, more analytical works.

Clash of civilisations is utter LARPy garbage

I enjoy Mearsheimer better. Digging his Tragedy.

More accurate sure, but not that accurate really.

He was right
From then on, everything is about how to use or cope with capitalism.

Assblasted socialists and communists hate the fact that history has sidelined them as uncapable of producing progress.

I'd argue Fukuyama is right, though. It's the 'End of History' in the sense that we haven't had any 'new' ideology spring up to challenge the current prevailing ones that dominate the world.

I actually can really appreciate this post.

We had new ideologies spring up it's just that you call them all Marxism no matter what.

It's transhumanism but it'll take another 30 years.

Examples?

Accelerationism is the future

Xi Jinping thought/chinese totalitarianism
Id dare to say some kind of popular Hindu-fundamentalism might get cooked up in the future
XXL ISIS in africa maybe?

Fukuyama was kind of right. 9/11 threw a wrench into his theories but ultimately the Muslims are little more than a nuisance and neoliberalism continues to march forward unabated.

Give it another 50 years, I suspect he will have the last laugh in the end.

Islamism to some extent, but that's relatively contained. China is probably a more serious challenge to the Washington Consensus.
