In Fukuyama’s article, The End of History, he makes the point that following the Cold War, economic and governmental challenges to Western liberalism were basically dead. He gives many examples saying that the two biggest challenges in our recent history were Communism and National Socialism. After World War II and the Cold War, Fukuyama claims that both of these challenges don’t have much appeal and that ideals of Western liberalism have expanded all over the globe to every country. For the most part, I think he made some really good points and it is easy to see why he would come to this idea right after the Cold War. Even though I agree with Fukuyama on the fact that Communism is a losing party, there are also things that I do not agree with. For example, I disagree with how Fukuyama says that we are at the end of history with our economic systems. There are over 8 billion people and 195 countries in the world and every single one of those people has an opinion and there is no way everyone will ever agree with one idea. There are still communist countries in the world and that is another example of how communism is still living in today's society. That goes directly against what Fukayama was saying because it shows that even though communism has such a low number of members it still exists. One of the most powerful countries in our modern world is The People’s Republic of China. Fukuyama references China but points to the fact that they too have adopted many of the West's customs and have become more relaxed on their ideas of communism. This doesn’t mean that communism is dead, it just means that the idea has changed and actually it means that it is more of a challenge now. With the relaxed structure of communism, the owning of some property, and the adoption of some capitalistic things, communism is actually more appealing to a lot of people. They can basically just rebrand this idea that has failed so many times and say that it is completely adapted to the modern world and that we should all give it another chance. China’s economy and military is really strong, so it is not unreasonable to think that a lot of people would support this idea of relaxed communism. Then once communism has been widely accepted, it would be very easy to then implement many of the more harsh terms of classic communism. The world is always changing and forgetting lessons from the past, so to say that there will be no challenges to Western liberalism in the future I think is just plain wrong.
