Links and threads Fukuma-Baudrillard-Derrida

I'm thinking of my argument for my final analysis and I can first ascertain that there are many viewpoints on what postmodernism actually is.Yet what is evident is the force of meta narrative to deconstruct and redefine what we think we think is reality.

Ive been reading up on Francis Fukuyama in Malpas .In particular at his argument in The End of History and the Last Man.He is essentially taking Hegel's approach of absolute idealism as 'a movement towards the realisation of universal freedom. He is arguing that in mans ideological struggles are largely ending,but this is viewed with hindsight as he is looking at the end of the cold war .Thus the ideal of a liberal democracy and in particular at the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 ,reinforces his political opinion.But this argument of the 'west is reaching the end of history rests on 2 arguments drawn from natural science and a reading of Hegel's  idea of freedom as a struggle for recognising.The first he claims makes necessary "a universal evolution in the direction of

capitalism (1991:19)

'Technology makes possible the limitless accumulation of wealth ,and thus the satisfaction of an ever expanding set of human desires.This process guarantees an increasing homogenisation of all human societies ,regardless of their origins or cultural inheritances.'. (Malpas 2005:90) Thus he is looking at technological innovation as a progression and globalisation of 'trade that technological development permits erases the differences between cult's as their citizen's strive to purchase the same international brands.Because for Fukuyma ,capitalism is best able to provide the conditions for this development ..'(Malpas 2005:91)Thus Fukuyma is looking at a direct link between capitalism,globalisation and democracy as natural development and globalisation of culture makes each culture come into contact with the 'same international brands'.(Malpas 2005:91) Thus sense a capitalist democracy which challenges Baudrillard's perception as a 'perverse literalisation of Hegel's argument about the relation between the actual and the rational which he calls the hyper real.'(Malpas 2005:93) Baudrillard is essentially arguing that this rate or speed of technological advance has caused us to become a hypereal society ,where information is not necessary digested ,but has become a a society where the original is no longer the method of identity.In essence globalisation  has created global images of duplicate identification which has preceded the original .'The real is hyper realised.Neither realised nor idealised :but hyperealised.The hypereal is the abolition of the real not by violent distinction ,but by its assumption elevation to the strength of the model .' (1983:83-4)(Malpas 2005:93)

The second thread to Fukuyma argument is that of Derrida. He looked at the concept of the promised land of liberal democracy. And Derrida is arguing that Fukumas argument is flawed as it is based on a 'empirically observable event.'.So we are looking at the world from a western perspective and in terms of deconstruction ,Derrida is arguing that Fukuma is not looking at the bigger picture that not all people are Democratic and his argument is split between the 'idealisation of a liberal democracy and the free market and the impossibility of demonstrating such a system exist.'(Malpas 2005:93)So essentially Derrida is deconstructing Fukuma ,by trying to show that the ideal is actually fragmented within itself ,further generating more problems.
