Fukuyama is one of the major figureheads for determining the direction of Liberalism. When America was invading the Middle East he was a neocon, now with Liberalism imploding he is more progressive, taking the basic lefty stance of blaming Trump and Republicans for everything while endorsing progressive goals like better healthcare and more demographic diversity. This fascinates me because he is supporting the ideals espoused by "leftists" in America not as a way to challenge Liberalism but to sustain it. Leftists claim the opposite; they believe more public ownership, better social welfare and collective unity will be the replacement for Liberalism and Capitalism. There's absolutely zero reason for to believe that leftists seriously provide an alternative to liberal capitalism when all of their projects are so reconcilable with the system that Francis Fukuyama of all fucking people is on their side.
