TEAR DOWN THAT WALL OF GUILT
If you are trying to raise a respectful and respectable American
family and are embarrassed by the liberal media's filth and
perversion you and your children are subjected to on a daily basis,
remember one thing: Liberalism is at its core, licentious, morally
degrading and abusive to family life. To stop the abuse you must
embrace the truth: Conservatism conserves and protects family
values that have made America the shining beacon of Christian
family life.
To preserve the American family you must make a decision not
merely to eschew liberalism and degradation but to champion
conservatism and our traditional American values.
To do so you must first TEAR DOWN THAT WALL OF GUILT You must
know you are guilty of nothing that may have happened to a Negro,
Indian, Asian or Jew at any time in our recent or ancient past, and
you must stop bowing at the silly altar of political correctness.
You must regain your dignity, your individuality and your moral
certitude. You must rise up and be counted as an American heart and
soul, in spirit and purpose; willing to sacrifice whatever it takes
to preserve America as it was founded to be and for which so many
fought and died for it to be. Your children are counting on you.
They will not survive as free Americans without your courage and
your resolve. TEAR DOWN THAT WALL OF GUILT LET THE RECLAMATION OF
AMERICA BEGIN
This book is a history of the three Guianas, now known as Guyana,
Suriname, and French Guiana. Though histories of each of the
countries exist, this is the first work in a century to consider
the three countries as a group, and thus the first to present the
history of all three as a comparative and overarching study.
Special emphasis has been given to the story of how each colony was
administered by Britain, the Netherlands, and France respectively,
and how these differing colonial administrative policies have given
rise to three vastly different cultures. Because the geographical
area of the Guianas is relatively small, the indigenous population
at the time of contact was relatively uniform across the area, and
the external pressures on the three colonies over their histories
exhibited significant similarities, the book presents the Guianas
as an ideal laboratory in which to study the effects of imperialism
and cultural assimilation practices. The book also briefly
considers the present political and cultural status of the three
polities and makes some projections about their possible futures.
In all, the book presents a complete history from prehistory until
the present day covering the entirety of the Guianas region,
relating a colorful history from a little-studied corner of the
world.
J. A. Hobson's critical treatise on the practice of imperialism -
whereby countries acquire territories for economic gain - is a
classic in its field. This edition includes all of the author's
original charts and illustrations. Published at the opening of the
20th century, while colonial imperialism still held decisive sway
as a political and social practice, Hobson's treatise caused
shockwaves in economics for its condemnation of a procedure long
considered irreproachable. While Hobson acknowledges that
imperialism is often supported by a sense of nationalistic pride
and achievement - as with the British Empire's colonial imperialism
- he identifies capitalist oligarchy as the true motivation behind
imperialistic ventures. Owners of productive capital, such as
factories, generate a large surplus which they desire to reinvest
in further factories; this prompts imperialist expansion into
foreign lands.
This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive documentary history
of children whose parents were identified as enemies of the Soviet
regime from its inception through Joseph Stalin's death. When
parents were arrested, executed, or sent to the Gulag, their
children also suffered. Millions of children, labeled "socially
dangerous," lost parents, homes, and siblings. Co-edited by Cathy
A. Frierson, a senior American scholar, and Semyon S. Vilensky,
Gulag survivor and compiler of the Russian documents, the book
offers documentary and personal perspectives. The editors present
top-secret documents in translation from the Russian state
archives, memoirs, and interviews with child survivors. The
editors' narrative reveals how such prolonged child victimization
could occur, who knew about it, and who tried to intervene on the
children's behalf. The editors show how the emotions from childhood
trauma persist into the twenty-first century, passing from victims
to their children and grandchildren. Interviews with child
survivors also display their resilient ability to fashion
productive lives despite family destruction and stigma.
What did it mean to be a Soviet citizen in the 1970s and 1980s? How
can we explain the liberalization that preceded the collapse of the
USSR? This period in Soviet history is often depicted as stagnant
with stultified institutions and the oppression of socialist
citizens. However, the socialist state was not simply an oppressive
institution that dictated how to live and what to think-it also
responded to and was shaped by individuals' needs. In Soviet
Society in the Era of Late Socialism, 1964-85, Neringa Klumbyte and
Gulnaz Sharafutdinova bring together scholarship examining the
social and cultural life of the USSR and Eastern Europe from 1964
to 1985. This interdisciplinary and comparative study explores
topics such as the Soviet middle class, individualism, sexuality,
health, late-socialist ethics, and civic participation. Examining
this often overlooked era provides the historical context for all
post-socialist political, economic, and social developments.
This edited collection examines how Western European countries have
responded and been influenced by the apartheid system in South
Africa. The debate surrounding apartheid in South Africa underwent
a shift in the second half of the 20th century, with long held
positive, racist European opinions of white South Africans slowly
declining since decolonisation in the 1960s, and the increase in
the importance of human rights in international politics. While
previous studies have approached this question in the context of
national histories, more or less detached from each other, this
edited collection offers a broader insight into the transnational
and entangled histories of Western European and South African
societies. The contributors use exemplary case studies to trace the
change of perception, covering a plurality of reactions in
different societies and spheres: from the political and social, to
the economic and cultural. At the same time, the collection
emphasizes the interconnections of those reactions to what has been
called the last 'overtly racist regime' (George Frederickson) of
the twentieth century.
How do scholarship and practices of remembrance regarding Nazi
Germany benefit from digital tools and approaches? What challenges
arise from "doing history digitally" in this field - and how should
they best be dealt with? The eight chapters of this book explore
these and related questions. They discuss the digital initiatives
of various archives and source databases, highlight findings of
research undertaken with digital tools, and examine how such tools
can be used to present history in education, exhibitions and
memorials. All contributions focus on recent or, in some cases,
ongoing digital projects related to the history of National
Socialism, World War II, and the Holocaust.
While Malatesta was hiding from the police he regularly went to a
cafe in Ancona, Italy. He had shaved off his usual beard but he was
still taking a risk. Especially as this wasn't an anarchist cafe,
but had a variety of customers including the local policeman. The
conversations he had in this cafi became the basis for the
dialogues that make up this book.
For the first time in English, Malatesta, in his usual commonsense
and matter-of-fact style, sets out and critically analyses the
arguments for and against anarchism. Translated by Paul
Nursey-Bray, this is a classic defence of anarchism that
anticipates the rise of nationalism, fascism and communism.
This book is a philosopher's view into the chaotic postcolony of
Zimbabwe, delving into Robert Mugabe's Will to Power. The Will to
Power refers to a spirited desire for power and overwhelming fear
of powerlessness that Mugabe artfully concealed behind performances
of invincibility. Nietzsche's philosophical concept of the Will to
Power is interpreted and expanded in this book to explain how a
tyrant is produced and enabled, and how he performs his tyranny.
Achille Mbembe's novel concept of the African postcolony is
mobilised to locate Zimbabwe under Mugabe as a domain of the
madness of power. The book describes Mugabe's development from a
vulnerable youth who was intoxicated with delusions of divine
commission to a monstrous tyrant of the postcolony who mistook
himself for a political messiah. This account exposes how
post-political euphoria about independence from colonialism and the
heroism of one leader can easily lead to the degeneration of
leadership. However, this book is as much about bad leadership as
it is about bad followership. Away from Eurocentric stereotypes
where tyranny is isolated to African despots, this book shows how
Mugabe is part of an extended family of tyrants of the world. He
fought settler colonialism but failed to avoid being infected by
it, and eventually became a native coloniser to his own people. The
book concludes that Zimbabwe faces not only a simple struggle for
democracy and human rights, but a Himalayan struggle for liberation
from genocidal native colonialism that endures even after Robert
Mugabe's dethronement and death.
Historical archeology studies once relied upon a binary view of
colonialism: colonizers and colonized, the colonial period and the
postcolonial period. The international contributors to this volume
scrutinize imperialism and expansionism through an alternative lens
that looks beyond simple dualities to explore the variously
gendered, racialized, and occupied peoples of a multitude of
faiths, desires, associations, and constraints. Colonialism is not
a phase in the chronology of a people but a continuous phenomenon
that spans the Old and New Worlds. Most important, the contributors
argue that its impacts - and, in some instances, even the same
processes set in place by the likes of Columbus - are ongoing.
Inciting a critical study of the lasting consequences of ancient
and modern colonialism on descendant communities, this wideranging
volume includes essays on Roman Britain, slavery in Brazil, and
contemporary Native Americans. In its efforts to define the scope
of colonialism and the comparability of its features, this
collection challenges the field to go beyond familiar geographical
and historical boundaries and draws attention to unfolding
colonialfutures.
First published in 1980. This book covers areas of policy interest
viewed from a social democratic perspective and each chapter takes
a specific issue which would have been of concern to Labour in the
1980s, including some of the more controversial areas. The study
reviews various problem areas and suggests policies which are
realistic and applicable in the conditions of the 1980s. This title
will be of interests to scholars and students of history and
politics.
This is volume 18 in the "Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers" series. Herbert Spencer (1820-1904) was one of the
foremost philosophers of the Victorian age. For the most of his
life, he was engaged in building a 'synthetic philosophy' that
ranged from biology to aesthetics to politics. Spencer was a
defender of the doctrine of classical liberalism, akin to
contemporary libertarianism, which he elaborated to a higher degree
of synthesis and internal consistency. Though a friend and admirer
of John Stuart Mill, he was far from an adherent to some of the
principles that Mill held dear. In particular, in the dawn of
democracy Spencer found not just the dangerous illusions of the
masses overcoming the rights of the individual, but a new 'divine
right of parliaments', an equal enemy to individual freedom as the
divine right of kings. "Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers" provides comprehensive accounts of the works of seminal
conservative thinkers from a variety of periods, disciplines, and
traditions - the first series of its kind. Even the selection of
thinkers adds another aspect to conservative thinking, including
not only theorists but also writers and practitioners. The series
comprises twenty volumes, each including an intellectual biography,
historical context, critical exposition of the thinker's work,
reception and influence, contemporary relevance, bibliography
including references to electronic resources, and an index.
