#+title: the end of history

The end of history is an idea that comes either from [[file:20200720100117-hegel.org][Hegel]] or his later
interpreters. Some would say that the end of history is the end to
[[file:20210518213042-contradiction.org][contradiction]], while others would say that it's merely the recognition that
[[file:20210518213112-contradiction_is_eternal.org][contradiction is eternal]].

For [[file:marxism.org][Marxism]], the end of history is usually synonymous with [[file:20200707205056-communism.org][communism]], which
could be seen as an end to political contradiction. Personally, I'm not sure
that I agree with this, as I think [[file:20200713095640-politics.org][politics]] will continue after [[file:capitalism.org][capitalism]], but
will merely take on a different form, such as debates over what society should
collectively produce.
