Just as the end-point of democracy is a stagnant bureaucratic state? The
end-point of capitalism is fascism and plutocracy? The end-point of
socialism is military dictatorship?

The end-point of any system is a situation of extremes and therefore not
desirable. When I asked the question I made the assumption that was
understood. I was looking for a bit of a nuanced interpretation, much like
the one Fred gave. I understand that political discourse tends to evoke
passionate responses, but I should have made myself clearer: I was looking
for an intellectual response, not a politicized, emotive one. My error.
