The study concerns itself with the consequences of the view that liberal democracy is the conclusion to government form – as hypothesized by Francis Fukuyama in "The End of History?" Through examining the phenomenon of metarecognition, the ideological victory of democracy, that was seemingly evident in 1990, is sought to be explained as to how its totality was reversed. This reversal is a product of the reflective spirit interfering with the sought after effect of arguing for a specific government form. Recognition, as a previously desired symptom of undertaking an ideological identity, transitions into it's primary purpose. This shift in the nature of identity has seen authoritative and collective movements reemerge following the hypothesized conclusive paradigmatical shift to liberal democracy from the fall of the Soviet Union. The paper analyzes how liberal democracy has returned to equal footing with collective government systems in terms of satisfying the desire of recognition in an effort to understand the nature of future political development. The previous uniqueness of liberal democracy has become negated in its interaction with the human subconscious. Further political change must only then satisfy the condition of being modern in the sense of forcing a reflective spirit upon the individual.
