This inquiry into the theological-political nature of power deals with the application to Europe of a new theory, in which the state is formulated as the synthesis of the economy and culture. Its chief aim is to answer the fundamental questions: What is the best political system for Europe? Upon which principles ought it to be founded? Does it concur with the past and the present of the Europeans? In addition, it unveils important political truths that remained up to now unidentified, yet their philosophical and theological sources were known for centuries. A new concept and an age-old thinking method brought forth this universal political theory. 'Culture family' means either an association of distinct cultures sharing common roots, or the transnational society of their human carriers. Arguably, a sound approach to the political future of multicultural societies is impossible in the absence of this construct. This book explains the genesis of the European culture family in accordance with Hegel's dialectical method, and identifies love as the principle and the end guiding life within it. Moreover, it includes a draft of the Charter of the Rights of the European Culture Family, so as to ensure that all concerned parties acknowledge them. The other key idea underpinning The European Union according to Jesus Christ consists of a cross-domain, all embracing analogy. Just as the person and the work of Jesus Christ are essential to the redemption of mankind, so the entity and the duty of the state are crucial to the recovery of culturally and economically interconnected societies. The Definition of Faith of the Chalcedon Council and its political translation illustrate this similarity. In order to develop it thoroughly, 45 articles of the Summa Theologiae were translated into an equal number of political theses. Aquinas wrote this masterpiece in the 13th century, that is, during Europe's childhood. It is a comprehensive exposition of Christian theology and an excellent summary of the philosophy of Aristotle, one of the greatest thinkers ever. Thus the worth of the propositions incarnating the European version of the state according to Jesus Christ is assured.

The writer was inspired to write the book entitled “Two-Cent Worth” because of the continuing worsen economic conditions of African-American citizens in the United States. The book is an indictment of the United States government and several states that have denied African- American citizens their rights under the United States Constitution. The premise of the book is that the rights granted under the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the United States Constitution have been violated since African-American citizens gained their rights in the 1860s and 1870s. The writer will take you on a journey demonstrating how the 13th, 14th and the 15th amendments to the United States Constitution were circumvented to allow the majority population to gain economic advantage at the expense of African-American citizens. The book speaks on the use of the Christian religion to justify the denial of African-American citizens their constitutional rights. The book contain bible scriptures that illustrate the misuse and misinterpretation of the holy bible by entities who profit by denying African-American citizens their rights to housing, jobs, education, credit, land ownership, voting rights, and ect. The book also examines the role-play by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, and the framer of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson is scrutinized because he was a slaveholder and his life contradicts the Declaration of Independence in which he wrote, “All men are created equal”. The book will open up the reader’s mind to why the United States and several states should pay economic reparations to African-American citizens for intentionally violating the constitutional rights of American citizens.

This book provides a comprehensive empirical picture of the relationships between the various forms of government and democratic survivability as indicated by the occurrence of coups. Chapter 1 deals with basic definitions, typologies, and related studies. Ten basic forms (e.g., presidential, parliamentary republic, etc.) are identified into which 192 countries are classified accordingly. The review of related studies centered on the seminal Linz hypothesis about the greater democratic survivability of the parliamentary systems, as well as on the subsequent studies that either supported or attempted to falsify the same. Notable are the corroborative studies of Stepan and Skach and the adverse critiques hurled by some other scholars. The author attempted to throw more light upon the arena of discourse by examining both the pros and cons of the debate, in light of theoretical and empirical considerations. The Stepan and Skach conclusion(s) - and ipso facto the Linz hypothesis--apparently survived the onslaught. Chapter 2 provides further warrant of the hypothesis, that is, that parliamentary systems apparently experience a significantly lower incidence of coups, signifying greater democratic stability. This is the clear showing of both bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses, abundantly used in this book. Chapter 3 explores the empirical nexus between the subordinate forms (i.e., centralized, unicameral, etc.) and the occurrence of coups. Findings show that the centralized (unitary) states are not significantly different from the decentralized or noncentralized (federal) states in respect to the incidence of coups. Likewise, the unicameral countries appear to be more democratically survivable than the bicameral.

The book presents data (112 graphs) from the real experiment of socialism versus capitalism in Slovakia, the former socialist countries and in the world. From the data it presents evidence of the crimes of democracy, which are several times higher than the crimes of communism. It discusses the rules of global capitalistic democracy leading to high inequality, modern democratic serfdom and the crimes of democracy, which are based on the rules of the capitalistic democracy coupled with unlimited private property. It describes the costs of the transition from socialism to capitalism, from "totalitarianism" to democracy across the whole region, highlights the dramatic and widespread deterioration of human rights and security, where democracy is killing people several times more efficiently than Stalin's execution guards. It presents evidence of the astonishing power of recent totalitarian neo-liberal capitalistic democracy. It presents evidence that policies of some democratically elected governments produced significantly more criminal military interventions, significantly more innocent deaths and committed more severe crimes against humanity than totalitarian communism. That it is not possible, under the recent democratic rules, to punish democratically elected governments for well-known crimes against humanity and violation of international law. Democracy in the capitalistic system cannot work and is not working properly because the recent democracy is based on unlimited private property. The freedom of expression is incompatible with unlimited private property. Capitalistic democracy means that the owners of the unlimited property have power to govern through the democratically elected representatives over democracy.

Philosophy Valedictory Series is dedicated to honouring African Philosophers who have contributed significantly in the promotion of African Philosophy. It is therefore constituted as a hall of fame in which committed African Philosophers assemble to dialogue on the relations of African Philosophy and African existence in honour of one of their own who has merited the honour. While communalism is the guiding spirit of the series, dialogics is the principal method of interaction in the forum. In each of the well-stewed contributions contained in this work, concerted efforts were made to capture and reflect philosophy appropriately in its jacket, in its proper wear. Every contributor of the material and spiritual contents of this monumental volume is a scholar in his or her own right. Every one of them is capable of casting all faith in doubt, of relativizing all morality, of destroying every single contentment by their radical criticisms. They are able to question the foundations of social order, able to uphold or refute them. This work is a collection of strong critical philosophical expressions of individual scholars drawn together by their common commitment to the African quest... Nze.

Traditional history books omit the driving forces which govern historical events. Hence, they promote disinformation. Existing histories are written by the victors, not the vanquished. More often than not, they are written to serve the propaganda or policy needs of a ruler, a country, an empire, an ethnic group or the dominant Church. This is rampant in Europe and has spread to the USA. With the formation of the European Union a reality, this disinformation must be debunked at its root - otherwise, we in the USA will forever fight the battles of the Europeans, spill the blood of the flower of our manhood, spend untold sums of our money to rebuild them - never to be repaid - and then get kicked in the rear end. No wonder they call us: Bubus Americanus already. If this is not done now, then: within the next few decades the USA will find herself isolated in world trade, dislodged from the political scene and vilified again. Then, will occur The Next Holocaust, the likes of which we have not seen before.

The defining characteristic of modern liberal democrats has been their belief that man is 'fundamentally good' and that the goodness of his nature will come to the surface once he is freed from oppression and want and his actions are guided by 'free choice'. This belief can now be put to the test in the advanced democracies of the West which have essentially satisfied these conditions thus providing man with an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate the fundamental goodness of human nature in practice. In An Imperfect Fit the author offers a picture of its manifestations and it is not too bright. It shows their growing divergence from the cherished belief in all three dimensions of democracy - liberty, equality, and fraternity. But it also shows a stubborn refusal of democratic establishments to face this reality and their ever greater determination to make the dream come true by forcing the 'fundamental goodness' on man's nature from above by 'perfecting' the system. In this the author sees the greatest danger facing democracy today - 'outdemocratizing' itself into self-destruction.

The 1945 Canadian Federal and 1945 Manitoba Provincial elections took place at an important time in world history: the end of the Second World War. A Gallup poll of 1943 showed the CCF (Socialists) as the most popular national party, and they were poised to win the election, but the Mackenzie King Liberals intervened with ruthless and dishonest scare-propaganda which included a warning that a CCF government would destroy our democratic way of life and institute a foreign-born system which would place CCF politicians "in complete control of everybody's lives."
