Book Synopsis Holy War for True Democracy by : Jon Ferraiolo
Download or read book Holy War for True Democracy written by Jon Ferraiolo and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holy War for True Democracy provides an inspirational vision for incremental reinvention of modern democracy. The book provides a blueprint for how to mobilize the passions of citizens and how to use modern technology to help democracy deliver on the promise of the people, by the people and for the people. The author takes a step back to examine the past and present of constitutional democracy, highlighting the shortcomings of and threats to true self-government in today's world, such as misinformation posing as fact, nationalism, increased partisanship, decreased confidence in democratic institutions and greater government surveillance, all of which makes us vulnerable to a Big Brother-like police state. The author proposes a global nonprofit, Democracy Guardians, a nonpartisan organization that would channel and focus the passions of people who share a vision for self-government. The organization would strengthen democratic institutions, and thereby promote governments that serve the people, not the other way around. The first major initiative would be a next-generation, crowd-sourced Internet service that evaluates the trustworthiness of people and organizations, thereby pressuring politicians, media and all public figures to be more honest for fear of being rated by public consensus as an untrustworthy source of information on government and politics.

Book Synopsis A Brief History of Fascist Lies by : Federico Finchelstein
Download or read book A Brief History of Fascist Lies written by Federico Finchelstein and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is no better book on fascism's complex and vexed relationship with truth."—Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them In this short companion to his book From Fascism to Populism in History, world-renowned historian Federico Finchelstein explains why fascists regarded simple and often hateful lies as truth, and why so many of their followers believed the falsehoods. Throughout the history of the twentieth century, many supporters of fascist ideologies regarded political lies as truth incarnated in their leader. From Hitler to Mussolini, fascist leaders capitalized on lies as the base of their power and popular sovereignty. This history continues in the present, when lies again seem to increasingly replace empirical truth. Now that actual news is presented as “fake news” and false news becomes government policy, A Brief History of Fascist Lies urges us to remember that the current talk of “post-truth” has a long political and intellectual lineage that we cannot ignore.

Book Synopsis American Writers and the Approach of World War II, 1935–1941 by : Ichiro Takayoshi
Download or read book American Writers and the Approach of World War II, 1935–1941 written by Ichiro Takayoshi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ichiro Takayoshi's book argues that World War II transformed American literary culture. From the mid-1930s to the American entry into World War II in 1941, pre-eminent figures from Ernest Hemingway to Reinhold Neibuhr responded to the turn of the public's interest from the economic depression at home to the menace of totalitarian systems abroad by producing novels, short stories, plays, poems, and cultural criticism in which they prophesied the coming of a second world war and explored how America could prepare for it. The variety of competing answers offered a rich legacy of idioms, symbols, and standard arguments that were destined to license America's promotion of its values and interests around the world for the rest of the twentieth century. Ambitious in scope and addressing an enormous range of writers, thinkers, and artists, this book is the first to establish the outlines of American culture during this pivotal period.
Book Synopsis The Destiny of Modern Societies by : Milan Zafirovski
Download or read book The Destiny of Modern Societies written by Milan Zafirovski and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a sociological analysis of the relationship between modern society, in particular America, and Calvinism in the Weberian tradition. While the book continues this tradition, it further expands, elaborates on, and goes beyond earlier sociological analyses. The book examines the impact of Calvinism on modern society as a whole, thus extending, elaborating on, and going beyond the previous analyses of the influence of the Calvinist religion only on the capitalist economy. It analyzes how Calvinism has determined most contemporary social institutions, including political, civic, cultural, and economic, in its respective societies, particularly, through its derivative Puritanism, America. For that purpose, the book applies the idea of the destiny of societies or nations to American society in particular. It argues, demonstrates, and illustrates the Calvinist societal "predestination", through the Puritan determination, of American society .
Book Synopsis Reclaiming Democracy by : Meta Mendel-Reyes
Download or read book Reclaiming Democracy written by Meta Mendel-Reyes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meta Mendel-Reyes provides a critical look at our fascination with the sixties, discusses the ways in which democratic participation was at the heart of sixties politics, and explores the interrelationship between the history and memory of the sixties and contemporary democratic politics. Mendel-Reyes stresses that if told properly, the story of the sixties could help open our eyes to the possibility that ordinary people can take democratic action and do have the ability to make a difference in nineties politics. In a time of cynicism about the American government's ability to solve the crises of inequality, poverty and racism, Mendel-Reyes puts the decline of political participation in historical context and provides hope for the coming decades.

Book Synopsis Modernity and Terrorism by : Milan Zafirovski
Download or read book Modernity and Terrorism written by Milan Zafirovski and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Modernity and Terrorism: From Anti-Modernity to Modern Global Terror Milan Zafirovski and Daniel G. Rodeheaver analyze the nature, types, and causes of contemporary global terrorism. The book redefines modern terrorism in a novel more comprehensive manner compared to the previous literature. It examines counter-state and state terrorism, with an emphasis on the latter in light of its scale, persistence, and intensity as well as its relative neglect in the literature. The book identifies and predicts the general cause of most modern terrorism in anti-modernity as the adverse reaction to and reversal of liberal-democratic, secular, rationalistic, and globalized, modernity. In essence, it discovers and predicts anti-liberalism in the form of conservatism as the main source and force of modern terrorism.

I also believe in Western - Europe - people are all too much captured - so much ruled over - do not really know the real content of the word of freedom - a word that is holy in the USA. With very few exceptions this is the rule in Europe. In Europe people are all in my point of view too much ruled over - so it is impossible to do any thing about it in other way to turn everything upside down and begin on the USA Democratic way of thinking - The USA in my point of view is the only true Democracy in the World of to day - though also the complete mightiest - without competition. I would as a matter of fact liked to - active be a part of turn everything upside down in Europe and see what's really hidden on the bottom. My belief is that the European system has to be burned down to the ground - exploded in to pieces and begin on the USA - true democratic way of thinking...
Book Synopsis Democracy is the Answer by : Alaa Al Aswany
Download or read book Democracy is the Answer written by Alaa Al Aswany and published by Gingko Library. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Egyptian revolution unfolded throughout 2011 and the ensuing years, no one was better positioned to comment on it—and try to push it in productive directions—than best-selling novelist and political commentator Alaa Al-Aswany. For years a leading critic of the Mubarak regime, Al-Aswany used his weekly newspaper column for Al-Masry Al-Youm to propound the revolution’s ideals and to confront the increasingly troubled politics of its aftermath. This book presents, for the first time in English, all of Al-Aswany’s columns from the period, a comprehensive account of the turmoil of the post-revolutionary years, and a portrait of a country and a people in flux. Each column is presented along with a context-setting introduction, as well as notes and a glossary, all designed to give non-Egyptian readers the background they need to understand the events and figures that Al-Aswany chronicles. The result is a definitive portrait of Egypt today—how it got here, and where it might be headed.
