      What are you talking about? The CIA has never done anything. The United States created and poured billions of dollars into an anticommunist organization so that it could spend decades upon decades doing absolutely nothing.

      It also contradicts the claim by Fukuyama that the last Soviet head of government supposedly follows the Liberal ideology against his personal interest, dissolve the Soviet peacefully, and somehow make the former Soviet states transitioned from the supposedly ‘authoritarian’ state into stable multi-party electoral democracy in one year even when many former European colonies failed to maintain even a pretense of electoralism for many decades.

    Almost anybody who claims to be both anticapitalist and anticommunist is bound to be a neofascist.

    Such is the consequence of the petty bourgeoisie: they hate their corporate competitors, but they also hate the lower classes (oftentimes more so). The result is a false compromise that misrepresents small business as an alternative to big business. Since all small businesses dream of becoming big, though, they cannot abolish big business, only criticize or moderate it.
