beyond the material aspect of, i there's also something very appealing to westerns about the 'end of history' line of thinking - the way that it obfuscate capitalism and its ideology. it's a self-made mythos. western liberals saw the fall of the soviet union as liberalism's final triumph over communism, cementing the neoliberal idea the that there can be no alternative. admiting that they're wrong - that there is an alternative - now also means conceding that they've bought into, and is guilty of upholding, a system that is more monsterious than any communist boogeyman that could dream up

it's far more comfortable to just tear down any alternative; to find some reason to exorcise the spectre of marx. that's probably why western academia, so self-assured in its own skepticism, became enamoured with deconstructionalism following the decline/fall of the soviet union
