Not surprisingly, Fukuyama has distanced himself from the consequences of his role in universalizing Western liberalism. Even worse, the ensuing refugee crises rocked the stability of Europe. In the process, war profiteers amassed a fortune while Washington and its allies destabilized countries from Central Asia to North Africa.
The United States then launched disastrous projects to remake the world according to liberal principles. With the Soviet Union disintegrating, and communism completely discredited, Fukuyama argued that humanity was approaching “the end-point” of its “ideological evolution.” The universalization of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism was nigh. A work with far-reaching consequences for global politics, its central argument offered the American neoconservative movement and their allies on the political left intellectual rocket fuel.
And the problem of the human race as Quigley sees it boils down to what he calls "outlook". But he describes a lot of the world as part of what he calls the Pakistani-Peruvian axis. He has high praise for Israel and for Japan. He has more sympathy for the French positions than most. He views what happened to Germany as a tragedy that they largely brought on themselves, although he blames Britain as well. But then again he sees British foreign policy in most respects as more devious still. He says that most American foreign policy has been mistaken. He says that Russia has always been a separate civilization from Western Europe and of course from America. He says that Great Britain isn't really a democracy at all. He says that worldwide financial empires have helped create situations which have led to war. He says that Castro only embraced communism because he wanted to stay in power as long as possible, basically he's no better than Hitler, or any other dictator, all spoiled little boys.
He says that communism is basically bunk and was used only as a pretense by some very unscrupulous people, to take power over certain nations and peoples.
