After socialism and liberalism both failed to predict the future and got themselves burning, maybe the next stop should be "humanism" by which I mean resolving the problems around we humans, rather than moving humans through the inevitable historical trends into certain pre-defined destinations. The human species most likely will terminate some day in the future for unknown reasons. But until that day, we shall let the aggregate humankind drive rather than letting a few intellectuals drive the whole of humankind to the destinations they think humans should be.

Futurism has failed with Mussolini and Hitler. Trump-Futurism will soon end. Trump if he care about his life(and he does) has no choice than following Biden path.

Communism failed.

Liberalism also failed...

Perhaps the Chinese kind of "Socialism", a mixture of firm State control of the Economy with as many freedoms as possible, to take into account the unavoidable Selfish human nature.

Seems like the Chinese have discovered, after millennia of socio-economic experiments, a good combination of the best of both failed models...

I need more explanation about how Trump isn't just liberalism without excessive corruption and over-the-top ideology arising out of control fantasies - control peoples' minds, control the whole world. They are not wrong that if they could do such a thing they would realize totalitarian control, but they are wrong that such a thing is either easy or realistically possible for more than a very short period (early bolshevicks).

For isn't Making America Great Again just an attempt to make the old liberal dream finally work? Or are there too many different meanings for the word liberal and I mean it differently from you, Sir?

As far as I can tell, both MAGA, China and Russia are primarily materialist still - philosophically speaking in that 'we are all only of physical matter born'. Russia's great partner China goes on and on about modernization as if it was still the 1920's. Look at their latest 100,000,000 city. Looks like a computer chip. Is this progress? Really? Where is Russia headed with digital currency and ID and surveillance. Can she survive without a gifted Strong Man Leader like Putin? Same with Trump, a force of nature. What happens in four years?

What are the main philosophical underpinnings of the main civilization states who will form a multipolar world order? Please elucidate more.
