"The left has truly lost its mind. The party out of power used to be 'the loyal opposition.' No longer. Now it's 'the Resistance.' The left, abandoning any pretense of fairness and decency, has declared political war on President Trump. Waged by a stunningly broad array of militants--the Democratic Party, countless left-wing interest groups, radical academics, the liberal mainstream media, Antifa shock troops, Hollywood, and the tech oligarchs--this...

11) Mehr Bürgergesellschaft wagen: On Representative Democracy, Citizenship and the Need to Remember
Author
Description
The Federal Republic of Germany is a representative democracy, at least at the federal level. Legislation lies exclusively in the hands of the Bundestag and Bundesrat, this is what the fathers and mothers of the Basic Law decided in the Parliamentary Council in 1948/49 and laid down in the constitution. The Basic Law does not provide for elements of direct democracy, as they are often called for today for the federal government. Theodor Heuss in particular,...

Scruton shows how the different religious and philosophical roots of Western and Islamic societies have resulted in those societies' profoundly divergent beliefs about the nature of political order. For one thing, the idea of the social contract, crucial to the self-conception of Western nations, is entirely absent in Islamic societies. Similarly, Scruton explains why the notions of territorial jurisdiction, citizenship, and the independent legitimacy...

Les relations de pouvoir inégales entre les groupes linguistiques mènent presque inévitablement à l'érosion des langues minoritaires. Ce phénomène n'est cependant pas l'apanage des États unitaires, qui sont typiquement centrés sur un demos et une langue uniques. Il touche aussi les systèmes fédéraux, lesquels se caractérisent par un découpage du territoire en plus petites unités de sorte à refléter la diversité historique, notamment...

In der Ukraine sind die drei aktiven Kriegsparteien mit der zielstrebigen Eskalation des kriegerischen Tötens und Verwüstens befasst; alle nach der Maxime, den Feind darin immer wieder zu überbieten, bis der nicht mehr mitgehen will oder kann – und auf keinen Fall derjenige zu sein, der irgendwann einlenkt. Dabei machen Russland und die USA mit ihren wechselseitigen...

A diferencia de la concepción usual del proletariado como clase obrera, se sostiene que los...
