The French thinker Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) said the fundamental difference between right and left wings people in the society is the fascination of the first ones for order and commandment and in contrary the physical distate the second ones feel about these values.
A cool way to recognize good true friends from the others. Eh eh. Chose your camp fellow. Y que viva la revolucion |

German (and as a so bad consequence currently EU's) ordo-liberalism is just nothing else than a soft fascism. Submission, submission, submission Sorry dude, I don't join :) |

at 2:51 PM, Monday February 15, 2010 EST The U.S. military once put out a document (I think in the 1950's) called Ideologies in Conflict that put forth the argument that going right or left was going in opposite directions on a circle and the extremes of each of them would meet.

What happens if you have two trains moving in opposite directions on one circular track? |

at 9:54 AM, Tuesday February 16, 2010 EST U should read Zinn.
(And for your information, the cold war has now ended) Remember when Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan told that there was no alternative ("TINA" doctrine). I hope for the USA and to a lesser extent Europe that there is ! Because you're (we're) in the big shit now. Anyway there are obviously alternatives, such alternatives have already existed in the past. And in the USA themselves also. Learn your own history. |

I have used my annulus of Zinn (is that the right one?) in focusing on a lot of political issues and there are a number of other spatial models of politics other than the linear and circular ones. Your train analogy stinks. It doesn't matter which way the train is moving. It matters what car you are on. I was on a train once from Koln to Kobenhavn that had a special car on it that was destined for East Germany. |
