No he's a fucking moron whose most recent published piece is about how woke liberalism hates men and gave the country Trump. He was a moron in the 90s when he wrote his dogshit book and he's a moron now.
Well, if it's not importance, there's the callback to his book "The End of History". OP's point about it starting up again could hint at what the book mentions would be happening
He was essentially a guru to late 90s early 00s western neolibs, declaring with unflappable confidence that the post-Cold War epoch was "the end of history", by which he meant the end of extreme tumult & inhumane diplomacy between superpowers.
His admitting he was wrong is a darkly funny punchline.
