The Autonomy of Individual Collectivity

If the fall of the Berlin Wall signified the “end of (a) history”, “Nevermind the Bollocks” marked the beginning of a new one: ours. The emergence of subculture, or alterity, has today matured to the point of eroding center/periphery arguments. There is no “collective”, We are all the same unique individual.

#“The End of History and the Last Man” is a 1992 book by Francis Fukuyama that argues that the advent of Western liberal democracy may signal the end point of humanity's sociocultural evolution and the final form of human government. "What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such: that is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of [collective] human government.”
