The end of History theory:
1) Capitalism is the most advanced system in the world. All the most powerful countries are capitalist.
2) Therefore, no other system can ever be as good as capitalism. Capitalism is the best we will ever have.
Marx himself acknowledged number 1. He was simply theorizing about what comes after capitalism (never came). I don't understand what kind of retard buys into number 2. Talk about hubris. This theory is invariably linked with a misunderstanding of Marx and the different contexts of communism.
Communism is supposed to happen after Capitalism in a country like America or Germany. It is supposed to be a more advanced system than capitalism, starting in the most advanced country. Later on, some guy named Lenin in Russia came up with the idea of starting a totalitarian government* to try to fastforward past capitalism to get to communism. This was not necessarily an idea that couldn't work -- but it never did. It is associated with lots of dead bodies. Enter our American Misinformation media masters to constantly force feed us about the horrors of Communism (even though it was really Communism, and it was working better that what came before).
We do something similar with ISIS. The majority of Muslims don't consider them Muslim but we insist they are not only Muslims but "super Muslims" -- examples of what anyone serious about being a Muslim would do. That's not really how it is seen over there. They are considered freak fringe radicals (that break religious law and commit atrocities) and all the media spinning in the world doesn't change that.
*Communism as it existed in the world -- in Soviet Russia etc. Was pretty much a state capitalist system. Similar to China today. We embrace their false claim of "communist" because it was good PR against leftism in western countries. But they were never communists as Marx described.
