The tireless self-promoter Mr. Fukuyama! A comment by Political Observer.

Mr. Fukuyama was never a ‘Conservative’, as announced in the link to this interview, but a Staussian i.e. a Neo-Conservative, and a maladroit plagiarist of Hegel. He , in his 2013 essay ‘The Decline of American Political Institutions’ attacks the meliorism of the whole of the American Politics of the 20th Century ! This was not ‘Conservatism’ using the most capacious practice of an attempt at measurement.

His career as Political Seer is built upon ‘Straussian Principals’ the misbegotten child of Leo Strauss’ attempt to rewrite the History of Philosophy. Strauss held the key to the divination of that Tradition, all else were mere pretenders. Mr. Fukuyama is still trading on that Staussian Revelation.

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
