what does trump want?

Yeah I see the parallel and I find the point that the US stopped being shaped by its own ideology once the oppositional ideology of the Soviet Union was presumed to have gone.

Or is that just End of History again?

Your post or Hui's assertion?

Well I suppose I was talking about their point about how the collapse of the Soviet Union left the US without an ideological enemy against which to define itself and so it drifted along... which is sort of what's been said before about how free-market capitalism had defeated communism and so there was no more important stuff to be done.

The parallel for me isn't so much the End of History, i.e. the idea there's a system everyone will eventually reach then never deviate from. It's the idea these two seemingly opposed forces have in fact been moving towards the same result.

It's like McCarthyism, except this time it's aimed at anyone insufficiently pro-Russian.
