“We Need to Reanimate Some of that Spirit of Freedom” - Francis Fukuyama

🎞️ Recorded on March 26, 2024, at Tbilisi Bureau, RFE/RL Georgian Service
🔸 American philosopher and political scientist, Professor, by courtesy, of Political Science at Stanford University - Francis Fukuyama is sure that the liberal democracy is the best form of government. In a recent interview with the RFE/RL Georgian Service he noted:
💬 “I think that the idea of the End of History really annoys people that were products of that Soviet system because it basically tells them that they have no future”.
🔸 Fukuyama considers that it’s people themselves who have to protect democracy “and one of the advantages of democracy is that you can correct mistakes and you can rectify institutions when they are challenged”.
🔸 Professor Fukuyama shares his views on the circumstances that Ukraine’s NATO membership in a foreseeable future may become a reality, even a necessity.
🔸 RFE/RL’s Nino Gelashvili talked with Francis Fukuyama in Tbilisi where the 6th “Leadership Academy for Development”, joint training program of Stanford University together with Economic Policy Research Center (EPRC) was taking place.

It is a yearly ritual of mine to search for a fukuyama interview and smirk while watching him struggle to make sense of a world that for some reason decided to go in opposite direction of fukuyama's predictions. Human imagination 1, Fukuyma 0

Prof Francis Fukuyama is well-regarded as a liberal intellectual in the Western world, but he does not promote and advance the same liberal and modern thoughts in the Muslim world, which is the largest community after the Christian community. More than 50 countries are predominantly Muslim, and most of these countries significantly lack liberal and secular values. Unfortunately, he has not attempted to implement his ideas in the Muslim world. One more question, all most Muslim-majority countries are right-wing politics, while left-wing ideologies seem to flourish only in Christian and other tolerant societies? Despite the noble ideals of left-wing and liberal thought, why do these Muslim-majority countries remain an exception?

You are right, ethnic nationalist wants liberalism as immigrant but want authoritarianism as majority.
