This is why Francis Fukuyama’s book “The End of History” is correct. The USA has become the Earth’s undisputed model for political and economic progress. Unless you believe in a supernatural apocalypse that will terminate world history, it is obvious that the goal of any society’s political striving should be liberal democracy. (Here the word “liberal” means the toleration of free communication of thought.)

This does not mean that all conflicts or detours have disappeared. It means that liberal democracy is the ultimate goal for all people who understand that history develops only through normal human activities and will not be terminated by a supernatural apocalypse.

The USA and other modern societies provide a proven model for success, but this understanding can also be observed and derived through common sense. Reasonable and peaceful discussion, debate and voting about problems in a proper manner by all affected persons leads to better decisions for a society in the long run than other decision-making methods based on aristocracies or elites acting arbitrarily and secretly.
