Abstract
This ideology culminated in the entry of China into the WTO in the early 2000s. China’s opening to global capitalism and the nonantagonistic attitude of the Chinese
Communist Party vaguely admitted to the triumph of the liberal ideology of globalization, even giving the illusion that China would eventually follow in the footsteps of the
Soviet Union. Though this apparent unification between East and West through global capitalism marked the end of the Cold War, it was not the end of antagonism or
conflict. As I suggested in “On the Unhappy Consciousness of Neoreactionaries,” the optimism of globalization has ended. The thermodynamic ideology behind neoliberalism simply doesn’t work when the process of globalization advances to such an extent that American imperial power ceases to be the sole monopoly power. China and Russia’s quest for a multipolar world clearly signals this obsolescence.
