Fukuyama vs Reality: Is History Really Over?

In this video, we explore Francis Fukuyama’s “End of History” thesis and examine whether liberal democracy truly represents the final stage of human political evolution. Fukuyama argued that with the collapse of communism and the defeat of fascism, liberal democracy combined with capitalism fulfills both material needs and the human desire for recognition, making it the most successful system of government. However, reality challenges his theory. Authoritarian regimes like China and Russia continue to grow in power, while some societies prioritize stability, tradition, or collective goals over Western-style democracy. Even established democracies face polarization, inequality, and crises of legitimacy, suggesting that no system is perfect or final. Wars, terrorism, and ideological conflicts still persist, showing that history is far from “over.” This video provides a balanced analysis of Fukuyama’s argument and its limitations, helping viewers understand the ongoing debate about the future of democracy.
