Anarchism

“Our constitution is called a democracy because power is in the hands not of a minority but of the whole people”(Pericles 155-156). Our government of elected officials and the constituency are both heading down a dangerous path with our current political situation. It is hard for our politicians and government to make the American people happy in the current political situation when there are no solutions that are being given options to the public. And the current political situation in words is…

This sounds very much like any other conservative person, but the core of the “human motivation” for “stable maintenance of a government” is security. The word security, however, can be interpreted differently depending on the perspective. Both progressive and conservatives may use the term security, for different reasons. Progressives can use the term as a security of one’s rights and of overall well-being, such as protections of human rights, right to live, and right to social services…

Vietnam War, for some regarded even as one of the most important conflict after the Second World War must have had a great impact on American economy, culture, politics and more importantly society. More than 58,000 American soldiers were killed while more than 150,000 others wounded. A disastrous effect had not only the fight with Vietnamese soldiers but also herbicides – “Agent Orange”, which increased rates of i.e. cancers, nerve, digestive, skin, and respiratory disorders among the veterans.…

new understandings surrounding the theory dependence of observation, and the flaws of induction. His system of falsificationism was a key factor in the development of sociology of science as a whole and of Feyerabend’s system of Epistemological anarchism. Feyerabend built on Popper’s ideas and criticisms and took heavy issue with the positivist model of the consistency condition, and his work has helped change our understanding of the sociology of science and the nature of scientific theories…

I think Wikipedia actually has a decent article on progressive nationalism. It summarizes it as thus: "Left-wing nationalism describes a form of nationalism officially based upon equality, popular sovereignty, and national self-determination. It has its origins in the Jacobinism of the French Revolution. Left-wing nationalism typically espouses anti-imperialism. It stands in contrast to right-wing nationalism, and has often rejected racist nationalism and fascism." That seems like a pretty…

discrimination. Though cheap labor that brought Europeans to Argentina was something that the Argentinian elites had encouraged, some started to see immigrants as a threat to national identity and political stability because of European ideologies such as anarchism and socialism. The consequence of fear against Europeans led to the deadly antimmigrant depression also know as “La Seranta Trágica” or The Tragic week in 1919 were hundreds of immigrants were killed and brought xenophobia. The…

A short abstract from The Future of an Illusion by Sigmund Freud discovers the fundamental instinct of humanistic nature. He perceives that people are lazy and unintelligent. They don’t want to be taught against their natural behaviors. Thus, by staying together as a group gives them the power to do anything they wish without having to act against their own wills. From my standpoint, I agree with him that people are naturally lazy; it appears to me that if it took nothing to survive, people…

A summary comparison of Communism and Anarchism as proposed by Marx and Engels in their Communist Manifesto (1848) and Kropotkin in selections of his work compiled in Direct Struggle Against Capital, first appears to show the two ideologies to be fundamentally similar and compatible in their analysis of capitalism and the material world. Their political ideologies converge along many axes, including their objection to the oppression of the many by the few, their conception of class struggle, and…

Infanticide is “where a woman by any willful act or omission causes the death of her child being a child under the age of twelve months- (D., 1938)”. That definition of infanticide was created under English law in 1922. The Act allowed for the punishment to not be treated as murder. In 1938 a provision of the Act was created. The provision added more to the original definition and added a specific time span in which the mother kills her child. During the time of the killing the mother has to not…

Class struggle takes place when tension is created between people of different classes due to competing socioeconomic interests and desires whereas nationalism is a desire of a large group of people share common interests, background etc. to form a separate or independent nation although both have different definitions however have a connection. Class struggle is also known as class conflict and class war. The anarchist Mikhail Bakunin and Karl Marx’s work has brought in the view that class…
