Abstract
This essay argues that anti-capitalist resistance today is often strangulated by what I call “Fukuyama-ism”, or a widespread resignation to the hegemony of global capitalism at the level of the political and cultural unconscious. Using Kant’s famous text Perpetual Peace, I explore various dimensions of Fukuyama-ism and strategies to overcome its cultural pervasiveness. To this end, I consider Kant’s commentary on the relationship of theory and practice, and examine Kant’s defense of theory when set against practice or “practicality” in this manner. Similar to Kant’s concerns about the dominance of “practicality”, I argue that Fukuyama-ism powerfully relegates anti-capitalist resistance primarily to the realm of practice, thereby insulating Capitalism from systemic and theoretical critiques. I argue that Kant’s analysis of theory and practice has renewed relevance in the context of Fukuyama-ism in order to reinvigorate anti-capitalist resistance and shed the pervasive hold of Fukuyama-ism over our political and cultural imaginations. Presently, we must heed Kant’s call to dismantle the notion that theory and practice can be in any way antithetical, and re-assert the power of theory to imagine new methods of resistance to an environment of an all-encompassing cultural Capitalism.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
