Any books to cope with the shame of being a manwhore?

Liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism must be killed in order for history to resume its motion. Fukuyama believes that, in the modern postwar order, liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism constitute the completion of the vision proffered by Hegel way back in the beginning of the 19th Century, of the "progression of history." That with the fall of the Soviet Union, and the dominance of neoliberal capitalism and liberal democracy, the narrative of history sketched out by Hegel has reached its end.

So, to restart history, to resume history's motion, both neoliberal capitalism and liberal democracy must be destroyed. They must be broken, and broken in a way that leaves them beyond repair.

And what, or who, is the biggest proponent of both of these things? Who is the most powerful champion of both of these things, of both neoliberal capitalism and liberal democracy?

Why, it's the United States, of course.

So, then, the task is clear. The course of action is obvious: if you wish to restart history, you must kill the United States.

This is why >>18556764 is wrong. The imperial core is very much a matter of import for those seeking to restart history. For it is at the heart of empire that death must be dealt. One cannot slay a dragon by living in a village at the outskirts of its desolation. One must venture into the dragon's den, into the heart of its lair, to slay the beast.

So the goal of anyone wishing to restart history must be to kill the United States. To break it. Not even in war or on the battlefield. That victory would not be total enough, and would not be complete enough. No, America must be killed as an idea. It must be killed as an ideology. The very heart of America--the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights--must be destroyed, and ruined, and wrecked beyond hope of recovery.

Then, and only then, will history resume its motion, because then, and only then, will the "end of history" no longer have sufficient hold over the world.
