    Are we surprised this old fool is a Nazi sympathizer? He supported the war in Iraq, he was a leading proponent of Neo-Conservatism during the Reagan years, and later tried identifying Leninism with Neo-Conservatism. When we add to this his Christian Fundamentalist upbringing it should be no surprise he’s sucking Azov cock at Stanford.

    Given how wrong he was on Bush, the Iraq War, and Reaganomics, it’s laughable anyone would take this man, or his predictions, seriously.

    Why do people take Fukuyama seriously anymore? Didn’t he recant his famous end of history copium recently?

    There is something that few have understood about the brilliance of Francis Fukuyama. You see, when he uttered those famous words: ‘‘the end of history’’, he was actually correct, but not in the way he intended. His proposal was simple: with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the so-called ‘‘Iron Curtain’’, the ‘‘Cold War’’ was brought to a close, and the ‘‘Western Liberal Democratic’’ model was left standing. Survivor bias kicked in, and Francis thought that now that there were no alternatives to liberal democracy, this was it, boi.

    But history refused to cede her chariot, and continued marching on, revealing that ‘‘the end of history’’ was not a declaration of an event, but a warning. The years since laid bare the decadence and stagnation of liberal democracies. This is why I say Francis was right, he was warning us about what happens if we follow this model, and the results speak for themselves.
