Dance: The new 'political' revolution LJWorld.com Exploring the idea that many radical political organizations attach visual aesthetics to coincide with their political agenda, the group turned to various communist leaders and craftwork for inspiration. Coincidentally, the first dance revolution was on the same weekend the group found out about an ordinance in New York City requiring clubs to have a permit to allow dancing. Although the group's political agenda will remain anonymous, it is hoping to make a statement about politics and activism. www.ljworld.com /section/arts/story/168800

Political/Military issues This post-Cold War revolution in military affairs has shifted national security concerns from nuclear weapons use and deterrence to information weapons and deterrence involving both nation states and individuals and groups not attached to governments. Political geography today is less a distinct sub-field of geography than a gathering point for discourse on both the sharp and stealthy crystallizations of geography and politics found throughout our deterritorializing global modernities. The institution of the nation-state itself, after a half millennium of dominance of the international political and legal arena, is relegated to the ash heap of history, done in--"disintermediated" some might say--by the increasing irrelevance of the physical borders and boundaries that simultaneously circumscribe and define its proper sphere of action. publish.uwo.ca /~mcdaniel/weblinks/poli.html   (17090 words)

Atreus House Notes Aeschylus was member of a loosely organized political "group." Political faction included Perikles (who had been his choregos). The result was: 1) all political power of council taken away and in hand of people's assembly, 2) most court function went to people's court., and 3) Areopagus left as a court dealing with order and sacrilegious acts. This is a term meaning revolution, strife, change. www.southwestern.edu /academic/classical.languages/myth/oreshtml.html   (2101 words)

1830: Workers as Political Activists Revolution of 1830 displayed that they had well formulated political ideas of their own. he revolution of 1830, as seen in Les Miserables, was the starting point for the workers involvement in politics, for it allowed the workers to unify and demand their rights, and by doing so, showed the upper classes that the working class too had a voice in French society. The conflicting goals of the artisan workers and the new "bourgeois monarchy" resulted in confusion, because neither group understood or cared where the other was coming from. www.mtholyoke.edu /courses/rschwart/hist255/la/1830.html   (2101 words)

Black Power Moreover, while King saw the idea of Black Power as a positive way for "black people to amass the political and economic strength to achieve their legitimate goals," he felt its advocates focused too much attention on what he felt were its negative meanings: black separatism, retaliatory violence, isolationism, and a defeatist attitude. Black Panthers battled with police departments in several major American cities between 1968 and 1970, and several of the group's leaders were killed, imprisoned, or made fugitives from the police. To some it represented blacks' insistence on racial dignity and self-reliance, which was usually interpreted as economic and political independence, as well as freedom from white authority. www.gprep.org /~sjochs/blackpower.htm   (618 words)

This article deals with the modern national/ethnic group.

indrev The second part will group itself round the work of Malthus, who dealt not so much with the causes of wealth as with the causes of poverty, with the distribution of wealth rather than with its production. And on the other hand, the distribution of landed property in France and Germany, which writer after writer points to as the great bulwark against revolution, is in the main due to a form of government that destroyed political liberty and placed the people in subjection to the throne.

Definition of Gang of Four - Biocrawler The removal of this group from power marked the end of the Cultural Revolution, which had been launched by Mao in 1966 as part of his power struggle with leaders such as Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping and Peng Zhen. The Premier, Zhou Enlai, who had accepted the Cultural Revolution but never fully supported it, regained his authority, and used it to bring Deng Xiaoping back into the Party leadership at the 10th Party Congress in 1973.

EndPage: Chapter5.htm At the same time the Dreadnought group’s political views were thoroughly radicalised by the impact of the political events that it reported, and by its contacts with revolutionary groups in other countries. Between 1917 and 1924 the Dreadnought group evolved from a federation of suffragist reformists into a party of revolutionary antiparliamentary communists; from working within the Labour Party and trade unions to standing outside and against them; and from enthusiastic supporters of the new Bolshevik state to pioneering critics of its state capitalist nature. In short, during the period of its greatest intellectual vitality and creativity the Dreadnought group was alive to, and sustained by the controversies of the international communist movement and an unprecedentedly high level of class struggle. www.endpage.com /Archives/Mirrors/Subversion/chapter5.htm   (731 words)

SPANISH REVOLUTION OF 1936 The Spanish Communist Party, however, and many socialists, maintained that Spain was not historically ripe for an anticapitalist revolution and openly declared themselves for the bourgeois republic. At his instigation, the various U.S. Jewish, Russian, Spanish, and Italian anarchist federations and groups, as well as English-language groups such as the New York Vanguard group and several branches of the Industrial Workers of the World, formed the ad hoc United Libertarian Organizations to produce a paper of news and information titled Spanish Revolution. When fascism emerged triumphant in Spain in 1939, many Spanish revolutionaries sought political asylum in the United States. www.writing.upenn.edu /~afilreis/88/spain-overview.html   (791 words)

Europe in Retropsect: The French Revolution - Phases of the Revolution This was the awful period in which "the Revolution devoured its own." Some eleven thousand individuals died as enemies of the state, and their deaths added up to a new, horrendous activity of modern Western civilization: institutionalized violence, the harsh elimination of political opposition by the state. Elected to the Committee of Public Safety in July 1793, he soon came to dominate that group, hence dominate the revolutionary government. It was the near bankruptcy of the state, largely caused by aid to the American revolutionaries, that served as the immediate provocation for aristocratic opposition in 1787, when an Assembly of Notables (consisting of aristocrats), called by the king and his finance minister, demanded political authority in return for tax reform. www.britannia.com /history/euro/1/2_2.html   (2334 words)

cpwwho.html Consciousness III will destroy the corporate state "without violence, without seizure of political power, without overthrow of any existing group of people." Counter-culture is sworn to attack minds, not capital gains or depletion allowances. Measured by the grandiose visions of military-messianic consciousness, counter-culture appears to be a relatively harmless affirmation of the futility of political struggle, either of the right, left, or center. This should have been clear from the great importance given to "doing your own thing." You cant make a revolution if everybody does his own thing. www.d.umn.edu /cla/faculty/tbacig/cst3010/cpwwho.html   (4637 words)

Black Theology (by Ron Rhodes) "Black Theology is the theological arm of Black Power, and Black Power is the political arm of Black Theology."[22] And, "while Black Power focuses on the political, social, and economic condition of black people, Black Theology puts black identity in a theological context."[23] Thurman also noted that Jesus was a member of a minority group (the Jews) in the midst of a larger and controlling dominant group (the Romans). Moreover, white missionaries persuaded the blacks that life on earth was insignificant because "obedient servants of God could expect a reward in heaven after death."[7] The white interpretation of Christianity effectively divested the slaves of any concern they might have had about their freedom in the present. home.earthlink.net /~ronrhodes/BlackTheology.html   (4637 words)

Europe in Retropsect: The French Revolution - Phases of the Revolution This was the awful period in which "the Revolution devoured its own." Some eleven thousand individuals died as enemies of the state, and their deaths added up to a new, horrendous activity of modern Western civilization: institutionalized violence, the harsh elimination of political opposition by the state. In its first and nonactivist phase, from 1787 to 1789, the Revolution therefore amounted to a legal debate between monarchy and aristocracy over the financing of the state and the political authority which each claimed to enjoy and exercise. Elected to the Committee of Public Safety in July 1793, he soon came to dominate that group, hence dominate the revolutionary government. www.britannia.com /history/euro/1/2_2.html   (2334 words)

February Revolution There was no leader, but every revolutionary and democratic group, organized i or unorganized, rushed headlong into the movement, trying to attract as many people as possible and to inspire it with definite and militant political slogans. Not a political idea, not a revolutionary slogan, not a conspiracy, and not a revolt, but a spontaneous movement suddenly consuming the entire old power to the last remnant.' Spontaneousness here acquires an almost mystic character. During the attempts at revolution in 1906 I wrote: 'Speaking of the Russian Empire which Nicholas II received from his father, Alexander III, one may say with as much certitude as such contingent judgements admit, that it could have been governed at least for another forty or fifty years without a constitution. schools.cbe.ab.ca /b628/social/russia/february_revolution.html   (540 words)

Challenge -- November 12 Such a working-class army fights for communist revolution, not for one or another group of bosses.

Revolution and Other Essays: Revolution Break a strike with an injunction or bankrupt a union with a civil suit, and the workingmen hurt thereby listen to the siren song of the socialist and are lost forever to the political capitalist parties. The point is, not that the socialists of the world were unafraid to do it, not that they dared to do it, but that they did it as a matter of routine, giving publication to what may be called an official document of the international revolutionary movement. They call themselves "comrades," these men, comrades in the socialist revolution. london.sonoma.edu /Writings/Revolution/revolution.html   (6121 words)

May 1968 Everyone familiar with these discussions will know that the Situationist International -- unlike all the other revolutionary groups and "theorists" active in the 1950s and the early 1960s -- was so confident in the inevitability of political revolution in France that it based its entire programme and position in capitalist society on this certainty. Unlike both McLuhan and the structuralists, the situationists were active revolutionaries who weren't simply interested in the "subject-matter of communication and language." "The society of the spectacle" was for the SI a weapon of combat against modern society, not a way of acclimating oneself to this society or a way of interpreting history. In referring to the circumstances of the publication of On the Poverty of Student Life, Nairn writes that in 1966 "a Situationist group got itself elected to the students' union of Strasbourg, and proceeded to dissolve the union," when in fact there was no situationist "group" at the University of Strasbourg at the time. www.notbored.org /1968.html   (2576 words)
