Key Notes
Jiang summarizes Fukuyama's end-of-history argument as the claim that liberal democracy is the victorious synthesis after capitalism and communism, using Hegel's dialectic as the intellectual frame.
Jiang treats Fukuyama's post-Soviet end-of-history liberal triumphalism as propaganda rather than a valid account of political development.
