Not so fast - behind neocons lie the corporations and big oil

9/11’s 10th Anniversary: The Death of Neoconservatism - The Daily Beast: "Fukuyama explained that he was a “Marxist”: he believed that democracy would spread organically because it fit people’s deepest yearnings. The neocons, by contrast, were “Leninists:” they believed that the American military needed to give history a push. Today the matter is settled. The neocons were wrong and Fukuyama was right."

Francis is no doubt right simply because democracy is an ontological value which functions under the umbrella of the root or core value of non-idolatry. So democracy was always destined to triumph to the extent people chose it as billions will do in this century. But the Veblenian critique has been curiously absent from all the end of history brouhaha and we owe it to Neitzsche's evocation of the blinking herd to remind everyone that where there is a blinking herd there are corporations and their incessant advertisements for themselves. The seminal conflict in today's world is still with neocons insofar as they are identical with corporate interests.
