Wait, what? Fukuyama believes that technology can be a threat to liberal democracy?

It keeps getting more and more complicated... Is this really all in the same book? I don't see how many of these things are related. While the basic premises does not make sense, a lot of the other ideas (which, unfortunately, are not the primary focus of international relations professors) are worth studying.

I agree with Huntington's criticism.

And Fukuyama's Reply to His Critics? Hilarious, lol.

Nice.

It's finally getting interesting!

It's funny that Fukuyama based his theory on the US winning the Cold War, then proceeded to state that the failure of one country or even a whole region to incorporate the system does not mean the failure of the system... What?

Also, while the idea of a constant regression to democracy is interesting, didn't he just say that nothing would replace it once it's come? How, then, would there be regression?

Ancient Greece is superior to Ancient Egypt according to who?? This is ridiculous. You can't compare two ancient cities based on modern standards! Plus, Ancient Greece was not as "free" as claimed. They had slaves, too, and women had no rights.

Come on.

So many fallacies.

WHAT are his reasons? Stop telling me that he outlined the reasons, and tell me what his reasons are!

I wonder why very few have heard of Kojeve...
