The evolution towards a better society is likely to come from within a liberal democratic capitalist system. Politics in the United States originated as a way to maintain the existing economic and political order without questioning its legitimacy. The belief in the spread of Western progressive thought globally faltered after the events of September 11, 2001, revealing that a universal acceptance of this ideology was not guaranteed. Instead, there is a cycle where Western progressive values are enforced on unwilling populations, leading to fundamentalist resistance and subsequent reactions from both sides. This dynamic, described as the true dialectic of Hegel, demonstrates the unpredictability of historical progress and the continuous interplay between Western liberalism and fundamentalism.
