I'm surprised he decided to show his face again after the decades of ridicule. Looks like he's back to pilfering Kojève too. Will he redeem himself? Will he become an even bigger laughing stock? Time will tell.

The Bildebergers sure pulled a nasty trick on him before. At least they didn't make him Wachowski his penis

He was only "ridiculed" because he admitted he was wrong. He should have doubled down like the hacks. Pity for him he had academic integrity, unlike that slop from Friedmann and co.

About what, the "end of history"?

should have just changed his definition of end of history to a more accelerationist viewpoint

How is he wrong though? Liberalism still marches forward without any real contest. Any opponents are simply reactions completely determined by their opposition to liberalism, rather than any affirmation of their own ideas.

That was in 1989. He has come out with tons of books since, which no doubt >>11772545 has not read.

Pic related shows that he has moved to the institutional model in which liberalism and authoritarianism has no real mechanism, only inclusive and exclusive govt functions, with varied rates of nepotism and tribalism and corruption.

>>11773437
If you listen to his explanation, in https://soundcloud.com/user-5799528/francis-fukuyama-end-of-history-revisited he explains why he was wrong, and also what he really meant vs what the plebs thought he meant, with ample citation

He isnt wrong in his original estimation: there are many many representative democracies in the world. It is creating a state that actually provides services for its people thats a hard part, and just because a govt has elections doesnt mean its authoritarian. So yeah, he wasnt that wrong, but it doesnt make him feel much better about it.

Could one of his defenders here rank his works for me?

The 1989 article "The End of History?" is easily gettable on sci-hub, and his two volume "The Origins of Political Order" and "Political Order and Political Decay" are his mea culpa regarding his original thesis. You dont have to read the entire End of History and The Last Man.

the audiobook was great of political decay

Who reads it? Him? I've read some of his stuff already.
