Fukuyama and the Socialist Alternative (original) (raw)

The paper critiques Fukuyama's assertion of liberal democracy as the ultimate political form and explores the potential for an alternative socialist democracy. It argues that while capitalist democracy faces significant challenges, the vision of socialist democracy as a more desirable and achievable goal is worth pursuing despite current obstacles and a lack of support. The author suggests that the collapse of Communism does not negate the relevance of socialism and that historical instances of popular support for radical change in liberal democracies hint at the possibility of a viable socialist alternative.
