Topic: Political egalitarianism

	Egalitarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Egalitarianism is the moral doctrine that equality ought to prevail throughout society.
		Economic egalitarianism, popular with liberals throughout much of the 20th Century, has given way to a concern not that everyone be strictly equal in material possession, but rather that everyone be equal in having enough material goods to successfully fulfill his or her native human capacities.
		Libertarianism can be understood as radical political egalitarianism, according to which everyone is equal (or nearly equal) in coercive political power, because no one has any (or those who have it have little and are strictly limited in their use of it).

	Political Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Political rationalism emphasizes the employment of reason in social affairs: that is, individuals ought to submit to the logic and universality of reason rather than their own subjective or cultural preconceptions.
		Politically, socialists claim that the free market system (capitalism) should be replaced or reformed, with most arguing for a radical redistribution of resources (usually to ‘workers’ — i.e., those socialists deem who do not presently own anything) and for the state or some form of democratic institution to take over the running of the economy.
		The political philosophies of liberalism, socialism, conservativism and anarchism — and all of their variants — agree that the good life sought by political philosophy ought to be the good life for human beings.

	Egalitarianism
		Egalitarianism is a protean doctrine, because there are several different types of equality, or ways in which people might be treated the same, that might be thought desirable.
		Interpreting Karl Marx as an egalitarian normative theorist is a tricky undertaking, however, in view of the fact that he tends to eschew explicit theorizing on moral principles and to regard assertions of moral principles as so much ideological dust thrust in the eyes of the workers by defenders of capitalism.
		A just and egalitarian society is not plausibly held to be obligated to do whatever turns out to be necessary to bring it about that their members attain any given level or share of quality of life.

		On the face of it, basing political decisions on such a philosophy seems to threaten invidious discrimination against individuals who have no truck with evangelical Protestantism, but who may nevertheless be pursuing–or, due to oppressive legal penalties, may be struggling to lead–lives that are nevertheless spiritually rich in the first sense.
		By contrast, the sight of a rich egalitarian surrendering her surplus suggests that people are not necessarily incapable of transcending narrow self-interest in the way that justice sometimes requires.
		Egalitarians need to be realistic about the length of time it could conceivably take, even on the rosiest of credible political scenarios, to traverse this terrain.

		Liberal political philosophers, led by John Rawls, have argued that the duties and virtues of citizenship should be derived from prior institutional principles of justice.
		Political virtue, according to republicans and communitarians, is the ability and disposition of citizens to overcome self-interest for some greater political good.
		Thus, poise is not a political virtue in the sense that republican civic virtue is; it is not a capacity to resist economic and social interests for the sake of political participation.

	Article 52 of alt.usenet.manifestoes
		The buzzwords of egalitarianism are political correctness, victimization, multi-culturalism, and affirmative action, words so common that it is difficult to remember how new they are.
		Political correctness shuns the use of that handy tool, the generalization.
		Extreme egalitarianism not only flies in the face of common sense observations of human differences, but it is destructive to society because it does not take advantage of the gifts of our most gifted.

		In a real world example, Hillary Clinton's refusal to play politics with Ari Fleischer is said to have been a decisive move that facilitated her long-term effectiveness as a senator.
		When politics is cast in an egalitarian light rather than a competitive light, ideology and self-interest matter less; the public interest (presumably) matters more.
		Of any application on the notion of career-oriented egalitarianism, the political application may be the most difficult.

	The Fourth Great Awakening and the Future of Egalitarianism
		Ironically, for a book on egalitarianism, political concerns inferred from the commentary of the marginally Christian elite of the later nineteenth century probably did not reflect the interests of most of those in the pews.
		That is not to say there was no relation between the secularized, nominal Christianity of the elites and political reform because there probably was, to the extent that it was those elites who had the most political influence.
		A particular concern for Fogel is the political importance of egalitarianism.

	Books: Stephen Kantrowitz's Ben Tillman and the Reconstruction of White Supremacy (UNC Press)
		He “redr[ew] the circle of legitimate political and economic authority to include the farmers and to exclude all who opposed their interests....
		The old political aristocracy had forfeited its authority and any just claim to “whiteness” by trading favors for fl votes; credit-dispersing merchants were illegitimate because of “their unproductive livelihoods.” The battle lines were drawn--and it was Tillman as martial architect.
		In addition to the titled subject are underlying themes of white “manliness” as indistinguishable from the code of white supremacy; of a conservative-Democratic racism virtually equal in virulence to Tillman’s; and a persistent quandary that arose from the latter’s internal contradictions.

		It was expected that respondents would base their impressions of the average frequency of their political discussions appreciably on their recollection of how long it had been since their last discussion.
		While political participation questions generally do invoke social desirability concerns, this may not hold for political speech because there may well be no social norm that people should speak about politics.

		Frederick Appel notes that there is a curious tendency on the part of postmodern theorists to enlist Nietzsche as an ally of their radically egalitarian political program.
		As a matter of fact, Appel's main worry concerns the political implications of an idea that is actually directly political: he devotes the concluding chapter (p.
		159-63) to warning egalitarian Nietzscheans that their alleged fondness for the Nietzsche's supposedly "agonistic" politics - by which Appel apparently means the idea that political struggle ought to be absolutely unconstrained - is incompatible with democratic institutions, and indeed with any institutions at all.

		In this ethnography of politics, the theory of the sublime is used to clarify the aesthetics of power among the Mende of Sierra Leone.
		The Mende political sublime raises broader questions for social theory about the relationship between aesthetics and agency as modeled by the opposition in aesthetic theory between beauty and the sublime.

		Though the postmaterialist-materialist classification shows somewhat distinct attitudes on issues of egalitarianism, political ideology, partisanship, and political efficacy, postmaterialists and materialists do not possess any meaningful attitudinal distinctions on political tolerance and civil liberties, racial attitudes, environmentalism, political knowledge, political interest, and political involvement.
		Because the votes on impeachment are so politically important, and since they offer an exceptional opportunity to examine the so-called last term problem, our analysis explores whether the factors influencing the votes of departing members of Congress were different than those influencing the votes of their continuing colleagues.
		As papers presented at recent disciplinary conferences and articles published in major political science journals reveal, the field of judicial politics is undergoing a sea change.

	US Political Thought, Lecture 1
		The much touted absence from America of specifically European forms of class oppression serves to mask the types of oppression prevalent in America, thus enabling the egalitarianism of American society to be greatly exaggerated.
		And finally, in highlighting the “acceptance of ascriptive inegalitarian beliefs by brilliant and politically dissident female and fl male intellectuals,” Smith attacks the credibility and cohesiveness of a radical democratic tradition in American politics, while at the same time trying to claim its mantle for the liberal ideal.
		For Hartz, after all, the absence of socialism is the flip side of the hegemony of liberal values--hence this question (“Why is there no socialism in the United States) is the other side of the thesis of a cultural consensus on liberal values.

	BEYOND TOCQUEVILLE, MYRDAHL, AND HARTZ: THE MULTIPLE TRADITIONS IN AMERICA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A study of the period 1870-1920 illustrates that American political culture is better understood as the often conflictual and contradictory product of multiple political traditions, than as the expression of hegemonic liberal or democratic political traditions.
		But the comparative moral, material, and political egalitarianism that prevailed at the founding among moderately propertied white men was surrounded by an array of other fixed, ascriptive systems of unequal status, all largely unchallenged by the American revolutionaries.2 Men were thought naturally suited to rule over women, within both the family and the polity.
		Second, the political implications of the view that America has never been completely liberal, and that changes have come only through difficult struggles and then have often not been sustained, are very different from the complacency--sometimes despair engendered by beliefs that liberal democracy has always been hegemonic.

		Robert W. Fogel argues that there has always been a strong link between cycles of religious revival in American history and underlying attitudes to social questions such as poverty and social equality.
		According to Fogel we are in the midst of such phase--the Fourth Great Awakening which began in the 1950s--and the political consequence are already with us.
		Fogel concludes with a vision of victory for a new egalitarianism, based on the shared values of liberals and conservatives.
