Fukuyamaism

Fukuyamaism is a political philosophy based on political scientist Francis Fukuyama. Fukuyama claimed in his book - The End of History and the Last Man - that history was driven forward by struggle for recognition between both slaves and masters, and since the current liberal democracy is the only system which both slaves and masters are fully recognizing each other, hence the liberal democracy is the best political system. And since both the fascist and communist countries have been destroyed, there is nothing left to stop liberal democracy, hence the history in Hegelian perspective is now over - as the best political system will spread around the world and no more radical political changes would happen because there's nothing left to be reformed for.

However, Fukuyama - not long after he published The End of History - stopped believing in the end of history and has been distancing himself from neoconservative movement since.
