Walking on the Far Left

                                                                                     Anti-imperialist graffiti in Venezuela.  https://popularresistance.org/latin-american-resistance-and-us-imperialism/ Imperialism is widely regarded, particularly by the western world and amongst more nationalist people, as being a means of beginning civilisation, exploration of unknown lands, establishing vital trade relationships, and gaining greater land and resources to use and exploit. It has paved the way for the present and future neo-colonialism and cultural homogenisation (two non-colonial means of further increasing the influence of powerful superpower nations). Yet a stark contrast in attitudes is observed when looking at the perspectives of the global south nations regarding t...

It is widely regarded that a society governed by communitarian, and socially libertarian values is perhaps more inclined to accept progressive ideas and function with the general public as its main interest. This would thus explain the prevalence of an increasingly secular or non-religious population in such societies, as well as also the generally anti-colonial and indigenous inclusive values defining their policies. In this post, further observation as to the role (or lack thereof) of theology in politics will be made. With reference to Proudhon's philosophy, the trends in types and distribution of religious societies, the historic and present day factors influencing this will be analysed.                                                                             Proudhon Through the observation o...

In what world is the injustice globally not frowned upon but saying the word "fuck" is? is a question that the  conservative snowflake brigade  (who shrink back in fright at any radical proposals or hints at social progress yet remain emotionless in discussing the problems with the world's inequality, corruption and violence) struggle to find an answer to. The underrepresentation of Kurt von Meier when discussing modern art and the last century's political movements proves to highlight exactly this.                                                                         Von Meier in 1966 Kurt von Meier was a Californian professor lecturing in art history at a variety of universities within the US, Australia and New Zealand. He is also the author of several critical and historical publications on art ...

Hegel (left) and Marx (Right) Dialectical materialism is a philosophical and naturalistic view on the distribution of material wealth amongst the people and the physiognomy of the idealised society in which the cultural and economic capital for society is distributed with egalitarian and equitable principles directly in mind so as to allow for economic productivity, capitalist gains and personal wellbeing to all function mutually exclusively and in direct support of each other (something that is rarely observed in many other economic theories. This post sets out to observe this theory in greater depth and compare and contrast the naturalist and idealistic perspective of Hegel on this matter with Marx's more dogmatic approach to the conflicting and yet effective coexistence of the major components of this theory in facilitating social and economic growth and development within a society which has in both past and present times been ruled by capitalist principles. Hegel, according to...
