Neocon admits error!

American Neocon Francis Fukuyama at the end of the Cold War:

"What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such... That is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalisation of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government."

But in his latest book, American Neocon Robert Kagan says -- not so fast, Francis:

"The world was not witnessing a transformation, however, merely a pause in the endless competition of nations and peoples. Nationalism, far from being weakened by globalisation has now returned with a vengeance."

The French Jacobins, the Russian, Soviet, and Cuban Communists, and now the American Neocons have been proven wrong -- the universalism they imagined had triumphed was eventually upended by nationalism, which will endure as long as there are men and women who love their own people more than abstractions.
