Comparative Politics

The crisis of the world capitalist system and that of the Philippine ruling system have become worse than in any period after World War II. The US-instigated policies of neoliberal globalization, state terrorism, and aggressive war have wrought havoc on the lives of the people and continue to escalate oppression and exploitation. The Filipino people cannot tolerate their suffering, and they are fighting back against imperialism and all reaction.

What is authoritarianism? And what made people give others the power to rule over them? Unchallenged authority serves at the heart of authoritarianism. In an age of democracy, authoritarianism is often met with stark criticism, whether the discussion is on tyranny, the psychology of totalitarianism, or how democracies die. Can authoritarian regimes be successful in the eyes of their citizens? Some nations thrive under authoritarian rule, while others have numerous issues leading to uprisings and protests.

Wir alle müssen sterben, deshalb kann keinen Menschen das Thema Tod kalt lassen. Mit zunehmendem Alter wird jeder nicht nur mit der eigenen Sterblichkeit konfrontiert, sondern erlebt Tod und Sterben in der Familie, bei Freunden und Bekannten. Die Frage nach dem Tod und dem Sterben ist also allgegenwärtig. Umso wichtiger ist es, sich ein Bild davon zu machen, wie andere Kulturen und Religionen mit dieser existentiellen Sache umgehen.

Politics can be tricky, and things get even harder to understand when there are alternative facts involved. Alternative facts can turn things around for entire movements, make it hard to know whether or not you are getting the real truth, and compromise the integrity of someone when they believe in something. If you have ever heard an alternative fact before, you will know that they can be really negative and may even seem to be slightly absurd because of the way that people have chosen to use them.

In his book, Governor Rick Perry of Texas provides a basis for viewing the states of the US as equivalent to the EU's member-states. All of these states are semi-sovereign, as they have all transferred some governmental sovereignty to federal institutions. This implies that the EU and US are commensurate. I subject these inferences to critique in my booklet on American and European federalism.

In questo saggio molto personale, scritto con grande eloquenza - frutto dell'adattamento di una conferenza TEDx dal medesimo titolo di straordinario successo - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offre agli ascoltatori una definizione originale del femminismo per il XXI secolo.

In What I Believe, Ramadan attempts to set the record straight, laying out the basic ideas he stands for in clear and accessible prose. He describes the book as a work of clarification, directed at ordinary citizens, politicians, journalists, and others who are curious (or skeptical) about his positions. Aware that that he is dealing with emotional issues, Ramadan tries to get past the barriers of prejudice and misunderstanding to speak directly, from the heart, to his Muslim and non-Muslim readers alike.

Capitalists debate Marxists all the time. But all too rarely do motivational speakers, the cheerleaders of Capitalism, debate Marxists. Thus Andrew Bushard created 25 dialogues demonstrating the great differences between Marxists and motivational speakers.

Silly senatorial satire and plenty of pundit parody. Written a few days into the government shut down of 2013. Pokes fun at all 100 Senators at the time. Although the house probably should have been lambasted as well, this shines light on the absurdity that is our government and how it does NOT work sometimes...I still really do love America really I do!

Listeners will learn how Kanye West, Candace Owens, and others are forging a new path for freedom thinkers in the struggle over free thought. Ultimately, his ruminations culminate with an analysis of important facts that lead us to the conclusion that President Trump is the best president for the African American community.

This book will walk you through the "whys" and the "hows" of our candidate selection process.
