https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_of_history
>"The idea of an 'end of history' does not imply that nothing more will ever happen. Rather, what the postmodern sense of an end of history tends to signify is, in the words of contemporary historian Keith Jenkins, the idea that 'the peculiar ways in which the past was historicized (was conceptualized in modernist, linear and essentially metanarrative forms) has now come to an end of its productive life; the all-encompassing “experiment of modernity” . . . is passing away into our postmodern condition'.
>The concept of an end of history differs from ideas of an end of the world as expressed in various religions, which may forecast a complete destruction of the Earth or of life on Earth, and the end of the human race as we know it. The end of history instead proposes a state in which human life continues indefinitely into the future without any further major changes in society, system of governance, or economics.
What does /pol/ think of this? Do you think the West could now be living in such a state?
This may happen on earth but it if space colonization becomes a thing then history will not "end".

Doesn't seem like the case.
Huntington was right, Fukuyama was just an idealistic dreamer.

This is as retarded as when the patent office thought no one would invent anything new.
And this is barring major revolutionary possible events like a true space-age which will happen one day or even something like astropolitics with other intelligent species if they happen to exist and within our sphere of the galaxy and can readily communicate and trade with us.

No, we are Rhodesia on the eve of becoming Zimbabwe. Then Mugabists will burn the books and rewrite history as a meaningless constant ghetto. And that my syrupy companion will be the actual end of history.

Oh, and despite this being a retarded idea, it's amazing that many western countries built their whole politica ideology on this concept.
This sounds like narcissism.

You would literally need God or someone/something with the power of a God to impose perfect justice and order.
I'm worried though, that if nothing ever changes, there is no need for human beings to change. We'd be almost stuck in stasis, living the same day over and over.

History is integral to the human form and its inherent mortality.
