    I was recently thinking about how remarkably short the whole "End of History" period was, how little time it took for capitalism and the US to look like it had finally won the world in totality with to meaningful challenge to come, to the '08 recession showing cracks in the armor, to Trump and COVID and the shit we're seeing now making it look like a total mess. It's sort of heartening to consider the possibilities, I guess.

      Really highlights the shortsightedness of neoliberals. They got full control and couldn’t even make it work a couple decades lol

      End Of History was always just Libs dabbing to celebrate the collapse of the USSR, without a second thought to what happens afterwards.

      They spent the next decade writing post mortems of the Soviet State while the same rot was crawling up their own spines.
