Authoritarianism v. Democracy: Francis Fukuyama on The Year of Elections | Amanpour and Company
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- Democracy has undergone a major stress test this year, with nearly half the world's voting population heading to the polls in a time of democratic backsliding and growing extremism. Francis Fukuyama, senior fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute, joined Walter Isaacson to speak about the danger of taking democracy for granted, and -- following his recent trip to Ukraine -- how he believes the war there might end.

In USA? VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE ENTIRE BALLOT TO STOP TRUMP/MAD MAGA/ FASCIST PROJECT 2025! 🗳☑️💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I recommend reading Fukuyama’s bestseller and not reject him based on the title assigned by a publisher.
What a great answer to the last question. Thousands of people are slaughtered in Ukraine. It's so heartening to see this great historian makes a visit there. "A handful of humanity is preferred over the wealth of all nations." He remains "the best."
I enjoy this news station sooo much. Thank you all.🇺🇸🦅🌹 It is great to listen to genuine and honest interviews.
The author of the End of History…..he got that wrong. Best to take his arguments with a grain of salt.
Written by someone who obviously did not read the book. Love the Internet.
so what. Fukuyama is great
@Mkundera Why do you say that? I feel it's pretty clear The End of History has been proven to be quite inaccurate at this point. Fukuyama even backtracked on most of his optimism in a 2014 Wall Street Journal article, and voiced even more pessimism in 2016 after Brexit and Trump's election victory. Even if western democracy survives these attacks from autocratic leaders both foreign and domestic, it's obvious the fight wasn't won in the 90s.
Why is it always those that haven’t been ‘in harm’s way’ are always the most flippant about war games…..
The end of the end of history.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 how long that lasted !!???????
It's a bluff, until it isnt.
What extremism are you talking about?
What democracy are we taking for granted when the democratic Candidate was never elected by the fifty states in their primaries?
Ukraine cancelled their elections and live under martial law.
Don't bring facts....feelings only.
This is not an "anti" response to what you've said above Interglacial, it's more for informational purposes. If you research the nominee selection process and continue to take the research a few steps further with relevance for the current situation you will understand how the process works with delegates and other selectors.
We became complacent while the oppressive police states gained power. Russia, China, and Iran gained strength while we slept.
Makes me wonder who the master politician is Biden sure has a lot more experience.
A threat is a threat and it cannot be a bluff. The one who threatens still holds flexibility over the options, which is why it remains a threat. How stupid to call a threat a bluff! This man is losing his sense of realism.
Big fan of Francis Fukuyama but be misstates or at least oversimplifies a point. As about the 15:40 mark he says that "At the beginning of the American republic it was only white men with property" who could vote. This is not exactly correct. In some states, free black men who met property qualifications could vote during the early years of the republic, Massachusetts and New York come to mind.
Over 3 decades later and it appears that Francis Fukayama was overall, quite wrong in his book "The End of History and the Last Man," and Jacques Derrida in his sort of open-ended response in his book "Specters of Marx" was quite right. The Specters of the past are haunting us in greater intensity all over the Western world for the past several decades, and it's not gonna be enough to just defeat the populist right this election. We need to seriously rethink if liberal democracy in its current form is the apex of humanity, with its neverending cycles of production, consumption, exploitation and alienation.
Democracy has been under threat for decades now, chipping away under the cynical Neoliberal ideology of selfish individualistic behavior at work and at home. This is the stew that birthed Trump and his populist demagoguery, after all I mean, if I were making a video game about Neoliberal capitalism, Trump would be the final boss battle! Class stopped being something we could talk about... So ID pol and culture wars, something always was the purview of the right actually, sucked up all the air out of the conversation. It's been actively used as a divide and conquer strategy by our own for a long time and now, even the authoritarians in Russia and China are using it against us.
Fukayama seems like a smart, humble, thoughtful guy nonetheless and will always be an American to people like me and the big tent liberal-left in this international sense needs to start a concerted effort in its confrontation with corporate-state power and increase democracy at the workplace. We were so hell bent on "destroying socialism" as the far right still is, but in the process... We have all but destroyed the social. I must admit Biden and the Democrats seems to have started to realize this but it must continue... This doesn't stop with just defeating Trump only again.
Really bad perspective here
Danger is only recognized by bad actors subjugated
That's not "democracy" you are referencing, it is Capitalism, and corruption...

Ukraine is upset that they picked a fight with their neighbor and the united states isn't giving them enough ammunition?
Ukraine was attacked and had to defend themselves.
The fascists of Ukraine have been exterminating Russian speaking Ukrainians and Russia had protested and signed a treaty to stop this but we ignored it , Putin gave us warning after warning and called Biden and Biden refused to talk this war is at least partly our fault. @@cristinskadell338
@@cristinskadell338 You need not have bothered to reply. Any idiot with a brain and who can read knows Ukraine is the victim here. For them to spout blatant lies clearly shows they either believed or are pushing propaganda.
Are you insane or think everyone is stupid? Ukraine is DEFENDING itself
Your guest says that russia hasn't moved at all in Kursk.
A blatant lie.
Whatever Vlad
1:10 wait, we can put restrictions on arms sales? 😂
