Hmm…it was never meant to be considered “ideal”, just inevitable
One could argue that the greatest support for Fukuyama’s argument is the fact that, even if the
globalized marriage of market capitalism and liberal democracy does not
constitute an ideal social order in regard to humanity’s collective
fulfillment, prosperity, peace, or happiness, it still seems to mark the
decisive end to our development by way of outright domination. This is
the subtext to the innocuous-sounding, jargony point that the particular
“state of consciousness that permits the growth of liberalism seems to
stabilize in the way one would expect at the end of history.”
