What does /his/ think of Francis Fukuyama?
Neo con was a mistake

I consider him the worst geopolitical figure in history. His entire "The End of History" idea which spread like a disease was beyond idiotic. It was beautifully idealistic, I will give him that much. But it was not realistic, not even close.
Basic idea; Western liberalism will triumph everywhere by the 2020. Just look at his recent talks on YouTube, he has changed his theories greatly.
Samuel P. Huntington was right

He was, I think by this point any sane person studying geopolitics with a bit of intellectual honesty will admit that.
Even Fukuyama has started to accept some ideas of Samuel.

He's a wonderful strawman for undergraduate historiography exams. That makes him alright in my book
another political "scientist" with a failed prediction

Idiot who got proved wrong so hard he physically disappeared
I think he just wrote a typical nice idea to get fame and success but its obviously bullshit

Indeed. So many articles about the tumults of 2016 begin with "DAE FUKUYAMA WAS WRONG???" and it's always obvious that the author has never read any of his work
I found Origins of Political Order pretty interesting.
Much better than How Nations Fail, which, despite making some good points, had massive problems with cherry picking.

Should I read Origins of Political Order or 'Political order and political decay'? I know its a two parter but I'm a bit more interested in post-french revolutionary politics
