>What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such...
>That is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.
Well, is he right?

Lelno.
History doesn't 'end' but if he had said that we'll all be united under authoritarian capitalism he'd have been less incorrect.

Alright Karl, calm down

Liberal democracy doesn't have the balls to impose itself onto the rest of the world and make itself universal.

It seems to have had a good track record of expanding on the course of doing just that over the past two centuries. The number of liberal democracies has kept on rising, with only the intermittent set back.
>>2049893
Stupefying, decades of empires and war seem to have totally escaped your notice. The West has expanded itself plenty over the past two centuries. It's just that the democratic part is largely irrelevant to their governments and would at any rate be dangerous to export.

Liberal democracy is self defeating. It incurs massive debt by promising free stuff, it relies on foreign producers paying their workers dirt to make stuff for cheap, it turns the citizenry against each other, it lowers the birthrate while accepting culturally hostile immigrants, it allows SJW's and degeneracy to exist, and it relies on overly bureaucratic and cowardly organizations like the United Nations and European Union to impose its will on various nations that try to fix the problems it causes. This rise in nationalism we're seeing with Trump, Brexit, and now possibly Italexit, is the beginning of a new dominant ideology. Maybe we'll even get to see the return of fascism within our lifetime.

If you see yourself as the end of history, you're objectively wrong and are opening the door to all kinds of atrocities towards the end of your ideology.
Liberal democracy counts, unless you think the Western bombings that have killed thousands of civilians in Vietnam or the Middle East in the name of preserving or advancing democracy aren't atrocities.

Yup. No chance he missed a major movement that was already forming when he wrote that essay. Not at all.

1) Define what constitutes a liberal democracy
2) Illustrate how each of the following aspects are inherently caused by the structure of ANY liberal democracy
>[Liberal democracy] incurs massive debt by promising free stuff, it relies on foreign producers paying their workers dirt to make stuff for cheap, it turns the citizenry against each other, it lowers the birthrate while accepting culturally hostile immigrants, it allows SJW's and degeneracy to exist, and it relies on overly bureaucratic and cowardly organizations like the United Nations and European Union to impose its will on various nations that try to fix the problems it causes.
3) Explain how the rise of populist movements signals the rebirth of fascism

No. Maybe. He seemed right in the nineties with the fall of the Eastern Bloc, and China looking shaky in the aftermath of Tiananmen square. I personally think that 9/11 sort of re ignited world history, and it showed that the future was not going to be this liberal democratic paradise it seemed after the victory of Capitalism in the cold war
