  1. It’s very interesting how Fukuyama has evolved his thinking without abandoning his core principles. If anything, he’s refined his conservative ideas from the overly-simplistic neo-conservatism he espoused in the 90s and 2000s. This is what reality based conservatism looks like, although it seems rare and quaint compared to what passes for conservatism over the past dozen years.

  2. @John Hennessy He’s actually a conservative. That you consider him to be a liberal in the partisan sense shows how little you understand what liberalism means. Ronald Reagan, both George Bushes, John McCain, Bob Dole, the pre-2008 Republican Party, ALL supported liberal democracy in the U.S.A. and internationally. Re-watch the video and pay attention to Fukuyama’s definition of liberal democracy.

  3.  @DPtheOG  He is an red blooded American. He’s highly educated. Why would you think English language would present a challenge to him?

  4. Probably not, as he is a conservative voice—a conservatism increasingly rare among those that claim to be conservatives. That said, I think there are people in the administration and in the Democratic Party that are aware of him and that share his values of liberal democracy. There was a time not long ago when the right was not so extremist and authoritarian, and conservatives and liberals were not too far apart. We might accuse the Democrats of a similar move to the left, but mainstream progressivism hasn’t shown the authoritarian tendencies of the far left. I am an anti-authoritarian and anti-racist conservative, but this will seem absurd to those who only know our current definition of “conservative”.

  6. The mechanisms for that change are inherently part of the democratic liberal model, but we have to use those tools.
