This actually reminds me -- at some point I am probably going to have to jot down a post somewhere detailing my not inconsiderable problems with (what I've actually read of) Fukuyama. As you can probably imagine I do not especially mind anyone dancing on the shallow grave of realkommunismus, but there's a fair number of things in his views that strike me as immensely and glaringly problematic.

(I suppose I also should take the opportunity to flesh out some of my own philosophical tensions while I'm at it; no point just being a news outlet, I suppose.)
