>The end of history is, alas, also the end of the dustbins of history. There are no longer any dustbins for disposing of old ideologies, old regimes, old values. Where are we going to throw Marxism, which actually invented the dustbins of history? (Yet there is some justice here since the very people who invented them have fallen in.) Conclusion: if there are no more dustbins of history, this is because History itself has become a dustbin. It has become its own dustbin, just as the planet itself is becoming its own dustbin.[21]

>Within a society subject to and ruled by fast-paced electronic communication and global information networks the collapse of this façade was always going to be, he thought, inevitable. Employing a quasi-scientific vocabulary that attracted the ire of the physicist Alan Sokal, Baudrillard wrote that the speed society moved at had destabilized the linearity of history: "we have the particle accelerator that has smashed the referential orbit of things once and for all".[22]

>In making this argument Baudrillard found some affinity with the postmodern philosophy of Jean-François Lyotard, who famously argued that in the late 20th century there was no longer any room for "metanarratives". (The triumph of a coming communism being one such metanarrative.) But, in addition to simply lamenting this collapse of history, Baudrillard also went beyond Lyotard and attempted to analyse how the idea of forward progress was being employed in spite of the notion's declining validity. Baudrillard argued that although genuine belief in a universal endpoint of history, wherein all conflicts would find their resolution, had been deemed redundant, universality was still a notion utilised in world politics as an excuse for actions. Universal values which, according to him, no one any longer believed universal were and are still rhetorically employed to justify otherwise unjustifiable choices. The means, he wrote, are there even though the ends are no longer believed in, and are employed in order to hide the present's harsh realities (or, as he would have put it, unrealities). "In the Enlightenment, universalization was viewed as unlimited growth and forward progress. Today, by contrast, universalization is expressed as a forward escape."[23] This involves the notion of "escape velocity" as outlined in The Vital Illusion (2000), which in turn, results in the postmodern fallacy of escape velocity on which the postmodern mind and critical view cannot, by definition, ever truly break free from the all-encompassing "self-referential" sphere of discourse.

Although equality, the end of war, world peace maybe impossible or at least not believed anymore by serious academics the rhetoric for the struggle of such things is still used despite its deleterious effects. Previous progressives saw universalism, economic progress, technology and unlimited growth as progress towards a more prosperous world. Today progressive express universalism as a cathartic escape from The Current Year. History is viewed anachronistically as something we have to get away from, the previous year was oppressive and the year before and the century before and so on. If you can only be MORE universal next year the world becomes a better place. But this is futile because as he says the postmodern mind contextual constructs discourse, history as an escape forward from the past, its a self-referantial sphere of discourse. Last year was oppressive because conservatives, this year was made better because of progressives. The current year is oppressive because of conservatives and we progressives have to make next year better.

Man you can just feel the spurned first world marxist bitterness oozing from the pages. Marx would laugh openly at these shitskin enablers.

The inevitable end result of modern Progressive ideology is a combination of North Korea and the ruins of Detroit.
