as Schpengler, Fukuyama and Baudrillard suggested (all for the different reasons)?

Isn't it exciting. We can see social evolution.
What will the next political system look like? What will society evolve into? So many interesting possibilities.

Are you talking of Civilization ? If so do not confine yourself to "western" or "eastern" etc. It is a continuous , evolving process and it is always moving , like the wave in the ocean. They all rise in the ocesn , run their course and get mixed back . Only to start another wave.Civilization is like that .
I am just back from 10 day trip in Egypt. The whole scene there takes you , instantly , to 3500/4000 years BC. This BC/AD happens to be an artificial point in the history of mankind. If you go there you will see civilization in full bloom thousands of years ago.
I can say that civilisation , as seen by the West will undergo drastic changes what with the rich thinkings of other civilisations. The link that economy/ prosperity has something to do with civilisation is broken. West thrives on this imaginary link

I think this is the capitalistic socio-economic system which has come to the logical end. Civilizations eastern as well as western continue to evolve either toward barbarism or socialism. By socialism I mean "socially organized and socially administered production by free and united working people".

Definetly not! Western Civilization has been going on for almost 4000 years, anybody who believes that is crazy, it won't happen, there will be nothing logical about the end of the World.

It is coming to an end through consumerism, globalism, and mass immigration.

Perhaps an illogical end would be a better way to put it.

end is never 'logical" it becomes "logical" looking back from new beginning...if you are within ending event and environment then you are unable to see logic in there..

Nope; I think it's just getting started.

nope, because we still exist and while we still exist there is an opportunity for change for the better or worse.
