	out of step: Clarifying the term "antipolitics"
		Politics includes revolution, coup d’etat, voting, assassination, philosophic ruminations on whether the State leadership should be changed or abolished, communicating this to others, demonstrations, agitation, propaganda, and even graffiti.
		“Parties are a very small fraction of Politics, and can not only be dispensed with, a sustained attack on them will bring more libertarians into more productive political activities.
		Until a better word comes along, I’ll continue to use “antipolitics” as a verbal shortcut in the ongoing war against political parties and state elections.

		I don't generally advocate the use of printed obscenities in reasoned political debate, and as a rule it is best not to stoop to the level of discourse of your opponents.
		But whether or not you admire the eloquence of the CSU Rocky Mountain Collegian student scribes who ran an editorial that read, in its entirety, "F*** Bush" (without the asterisks), you have to respect their, uhh, gumption.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Politics by Aristotle

	demarchy (pamphlet)
		Political machines would not be able to groom loyal candidates for office because, with random selection, no one knows who will be chosen.
		Because demarchy depends on active participation by a large fraction of the population in important decision-making, it demands a high level of knowledge and experience in the community.
		With a diversity of autonomous communities with different political and economic arrangements, people would be able to choose to live under a political system that is to their liking.

	A short history of the international communist left
		The political line, retraced above, is the struggle and rupture with reformist socialism, the struggle and rupture with opportunism inside the Communist movement: at first in the Comintern, but equally, later on in the International Left opposition, against the positions of Trotskyism.
		Consequently the left Fraction of the Communist Party of Italy rejected the perspective which Trotsky considered inevitable, of a violent attack against the USSR, and envisaged on the contrary, the strengthening of the links between the USSR, and the capitalist States without implying that the statified property would necessarily be overthrown.
		This turn to compromised political forces in face of all the defeats suffered by the working class on the morrow after the first world war, for the construction of new parties, signified definitely the death act of the Opposition as a current capable of realising the construction of new revolutionary parties.

		But the fraction of the faction that took this plunge underestimated the schism within the officer corps, particularly the refraction of ethno-religious biases on the leadership of the military.
		Faced with this unexpected challenge from the Eastern fraction, the dominant military faction had to hastily conclude an alliance with the civilian faction it overthrew to subdue the defiant Eastern fraction in what became known as the Nigerian Civil war.
		This emergent fraction of the military was built from the forced retirement exercise undertaken by the Murtala junta in 1975 and subsequent ones dictated by intra-factional politics.

	The Region of the Future: The Caspian Sea
		The political developments since 1991 have shown that these eight member countries of CIS (the remaining members are the Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova) create a geopolitical unity which is characterised by constantly shifting loyalties among one another.
		Political stability, advancement in the transformation of state and society, contributions to Europe's secure supply of energy, fair terms for investment and development of trade relations -- this list of goals is shared by all European countries.
		A new round of the "Great Game" with a regression to the political mindset of the nineteenth century, and the metamorphosis of the Caspian countries into a battlefield of geopolitics: that would be the worst that could happen to this sensitive region, and it would be a political defeat for the whole of Europe.

		Outside a small percentage of political junkies in the populace, mostly those committed to one or another political viewpoint, most Americans perceive only headlines, sound bytes, images, and vague impressions of politicians, parties and issues.

		The Left Fraction, British Section of the Fourth International (In Opposition) is the development of the struggle commenced by Leon Trotsky against the Stalinist disrupters of the world revolution and their successors in the ranks of the FI.
		The Left Fraction left to its own set about establishing itself, carrying out the LP Tactic in conformity with the conception worked out that the struggle for the revolutionary party would be fought inside the LP in the forthcoming period for reasons explained elsewhere (see Once More the Tactic).
		Meanwhile the remainder of the Fraction, which had constituted a majority, deprived of the resources which had been taken over entirely by the professionals and no doubt given to Healy, was in great difficulty.

		The tendency among groups organised around identity politics has been to grow--sometimes substantially--for a short period of time, and then fairly rapidly to shrink to a much smaller 'core' membership.
		The term "identity politics" is being sweepingly used to negatively describe those whose social activism grows from a rootedness in particular communities.
		Those on the left who inveigh against identity politics assume that "class" is the transcendent category, and issues relating to gender, race and sexuality are marginalized as comparatively insignificant.

	Politics : How to prevent subversions of federal constitution
		This is as if it is not ‘the people(s)’ of Nigeria, of atomized sociological history of conflicts and given to anthropomorphic conscientization in the managing of their politics gripped in polytheism of church, mosque and shrine that would emerge as superintendents of the presumptive post-conference ‘true federalism!’ ‘True federalism’ may not arrive, after all.
		So, the Nigerian lawyer, barrister or solicitor, particularly the practicing political partisan, of the newspaper genre, is pleaded with herein to imbibe and extend open mind to cross-disciplinary discourses of theories and philosophies of politics and law of presidential-bicameral federal praxis.
		This praxis contrasts politics, law and jurisprudence of non-federal parliamentary praxis of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Wales with its ‘Commonwealth’ tentacles, to which Nigeria’s vertical educational schema are hooked.

		In "The Star Fraction," your portrayal of a Britain fractured into countless tiny states, each with its own rules, is a libertarian utopia in the sense that all kinds of different approaches to ordering society are possible, but at the same time, life is hell within the confines of many of those mini-states.
		Even in "The Star Fraction" there are suggestions that things have moved on a bit -- almost everyone in that book is a bit of a capitalist.
		Your American publisher has said that he thinks that the politics of your earlier novels may be a little too insidery for an American audience.

		Their base of support fell away, and in the eyes of many the RAF had become essentially a 'free the guerrilla organization' - all of its actions seemed to be aimed only at liberating its prisoners and it appeared to be engaged primarily in a private war with the state.
		In a communique accompanying the Ramstein action, the RAF stated that they targeted it because it was the base for nuclear war in Europe, and the starting base for war in the Third World.
		The accompanying communique called for, among other things, solidarity with the struggle of the political prisoners in the isolation units in the U.S. In 1991, the RAF asassinated the head of the company responsible for the reconstructing of East Germany along capitalist lines, Detlev Rohwedder, "one of the architects of the new Germany".

		This has proved to be a very effective political strategy for extending government power, not only over medical care but also over housing and other sectors of the economy.
		The phoniness of this argument becomes apparent the moment you suggest that money be set aside specifically for dealing with the special problems of the poor, rather than bringing whole sectors of the economy under the dominance of politicians, bureaucrats and judges.
		But, while big government liberals are willing to use the poor as human shields in their political battles, their more basic strategy is to proclaim that everyone has a "right" to some "basic need" that they want the government to provide.

	American Muslim Engagement in Politics
		For the children of the Muslims, their goals are varied and I believe that as significant a fraction of them are as interested in political participation as are found in any other religious group.
		In addition to the previously mentioned American Muslim Association, the American Muslim Council seeks to advance the political empowerment of Muslims through efforts to train and encourage them in the means of contacting legislators and administrative officials to promote their concerns.
		Although a significant fraction of these voters may be assumed to be non-Muslims regardless of the efficiency of the program, it is also certainly true that a very large number of Muslims would be registered under names which are not recognizably Muslim.

	Neither Fish Nor Fowl - Interview: Ken MacLeod (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Politics is one of the practical arts, of coalition and compromise, conflict and coercion, and it requires a different frame of mind and set of priorities to that of most SF readers and writers.
		It's political in the sense that it dramatises political philosophy, by thought experiments which take ideologies and help us imagine how they would feel if implemented in reality.
		All I really meant was that the official structures of federalism and local autonomy and so forth, if they had been combined with a genuine political pluralism — which, of course, they weren't — might not have been a bad structure for a multi-national state.

		But in the context of distributive politics, all citizens have, in a relevant sense, identical preferences, so the only way minority status may be defined is in terms of some exogenously fixed stigmatic criteria (such as race, language, religion, etc.).
		Real-world politics of course is a complex mixture of cleavage, ideological, and distributive politics; such complexity probably gives minority interests additional influence, but such taking account of such complexity is largely beyond the present power of formal political theory.
		The fraction in each category need not be the same in the two mixed clusters; all that matters in determining the effectiveness of a coalition of minorities is the overall fraction.

		As both bodies are appelate bodies, this is obviously a fraction of the number of cases decided.
		By this it is meant that the activities of courts are less widely reported than those of legislatures and the general, universalist language of law assuages the ideological and practical implications of legal decisions, whilst its arcanity obfuscates what is at stake.
		The latter will often be concerned with resolution of a dispute which is confined to narrow set of factual circumstances in which the interests are often not strongly generalisable and where the remedy sought is often pecuniary in nature.

		Participating in the convention as guests were members of the SWP's industrial union fraction in the Paper, Allied- Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers International Union (PACE), formed in January through a merger of the Paperworkers and the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union.
		This move aimed to strengthen the competent, political functioning in all of the unions where socialist workers concentrate their forces, Britton said.
		The members of the PACE fraction met following the convention and voted to set a deadline of March 31, the eve of the SWP national party convention, for every fraction member to be out of their jobs in PACE-organized workplaces.

		A party in which almost anyone with a pocketful of votes, often procured in dubious circumstances, believes it is their right to demand something from the party in return.
		Second, with the presidential nature of modern politics, it is easy to forget that each side of politics has four influential leaders: the prime minister/leader of the Opposition, the deputy leader, the Senate leader and the deputy Senate leader.
		Adopting these reforms is a way for the federal parliamentary Labor Party to tell the world it knows the factions and fractions are a cancer eating away at the very fabric of the party and everybody knows it.

		This course, the "third campaign for the turn to industry," is the only road to political fractions that can carry out working-class politics in the trade unions and more broadly today and begin recruiting workers to the communist movement.
		This policy, adopted earlier by the UAW fraction, is not a checklist of dos or don'ts, but rather a question of having an attitude of "pride in the party," noted Cecelia Moriarity, who organizes the party's Coal Committee.
		The fraction was becoming more of a "job trust" than a unit of worker-bolsheviks, Manuel pointed out in his report to the meeting of rail workers.
