11. Thoughts on a Tyrant Called "Shaka" April 06, 2009 Thoughts on a Tyrant Called “Shaka” By Ross Dix-Peek It is diabolical as to how rabid "Nationalism" so very often distorts history, turning out-and-out villains into demigods and heroes, one such creation being the Zulu king, Shaka. In the Africa of today, Shaka has almost been deified, having been afforded the status of a great African leader; the archetypal “African” if you will. It is interesting to note that this sentiment is paramount among those very people, those hypocrites, who rail against the “Evils of Colonialism”, and yet fervently worship a bloodthirsty Tyrant such ...

12. Blind Patriotism March 09, 2009 Patriotism is an attribute that can be seen as both good and bad. It unifies the people of a nation and helps them support each other. The bad part about it is how commonly it is used without understanding the meaning, or how it is used in replacement for nationalism. I will be focusing on the negative side of patriotism, specifically how it is used as a replacement for nationalism. The idea of patriotism is good. Being proud of where you were born, its culture, and what it represents. The bad side is stated quite well by Guy De Maupassant- “Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the e...

17. Polls Open in Serbian Elections May 11, 2008 Polls are open in the Serbian general elections, which are being seen as a choice between nationalism or greater openness to the West. Public opinion surveys ahead of Sunday's elections indicate the vote will be evenly divided between the county's two main ideologies, represented by the nationalist Radical Party and the pro-Europe alliance, led by President Boris Tadic. The Radical Party wants to regain control over recently independent  Kosovo - a move that would likely scuttle the Tadic faction's ambitions to take Serbia into the European Union. Neither side is expected to win a clear ... (read more)

18. Burning Down the House: The Firebombing Welsh Dragons December 13, 2007 The lush green valleys and long sandy beaches of Wales are one of the most popular UK holiday destinations for English tourists. However, their beauty harbours dark secrets from a time when Wales was rife with fierce, fire breathing dragons who didn't welcome the English invasion with such zeal. In 1979, the Meibion Glyndwr (The Sons of Glyndwr) began their campaign of cottage burning, setting alight 8 English owned holiday homes within one month, in protest at the growing trend of property in rural Wales being sold to English people as second homes. The campaign was to last for 12 year... (read more) Author: Andrew Regan

19. Sukarno, A Political Biography by J. D. Legge: nationalism revisited. October 04, 2007 I don’t read a lot of history, contemporary or otherwise, and when I do, it is usually in the area of political economy. In recent years, for instance, I have delighted at the scholarship and intellect of Eric Hobsbawm. But what always strikes me about history is how perfect our vision can be from the distance of time. Not so if you are closer, and so I can forgive J. D. Legge my single criticism of his book, Sukarno – A Political Biography, which is its lack of overview. Legge published the book in 1972 and so did not have the luxury of 35 years of clarifying hindsight that we have today. ... (read more) Author: Philip Spires

20. The Relevance of Hitler's Views and his Attitude to the Jews October 02, 2007 Speaking about the Dual Alliance, we must say that in Hitler’s book Mein Kampf is written that he disagreed with this alliance, because the Austro-Hungarian Empire irrespective of the racial makeup of its population or government, it would have no influence on the result of the war. It could have controverted his view on nationalism. Nevertheless, it is obvious that Hitler believes that such alliance was a reason of Germany’s loss in the war, and it is important to understand that his thinking is irrelevant and it does not matter whether it is right or wrong. What is relevant is that Hitler ... (read more) Author: Andrew Schwartz

21. The Main Idea of Mein Kampf October 02, 2007 Every party of Socialist movement had the word nationalism as an element of their aims and ideologies. The particular kind of nationalism among most of parties supported creation of the Reich including Germans only, and many parties, for example NSDAP, were against foreigners even entering the state. The main idea consisted in bringing all Germans together in one state in order to create military and economically strong Germany, so that Germany would become the most powerful country in Europe again. This idea was in programs of almost every party during the 1920s irrespective of their particu... (read more) Author: Andrew Schwartz

23. Similarities and Differences in Hitler's and Bismarck's Views on Nationalism October 01, 2007 Being a student Hitler criticized Bismarck’s decision to create an alliance with Austria, though in the beginning of his book Mein Kampf he says that all the Germans should be brought together to live in one Reich at any cost irrespective of the consequences. It can be connected with the fact that Hitler’s views in the period of his imprisonment differed from views he had while being a secondary school student, and besides a person can change his or her views on the issue over the time. Hitler’s views on nationalism at the moment the writing of his book Mein Kampf was finished was affected by ... (read more) Author: Andrew Schwartz

24. Self-preservation as the Central Idea of Hitler's Ideology October 01, 2007 Hitler ideology connected with self-preservation consisting in having nothing to do with sparing humanity if the self-preservation of his race is in danger, falls in line with the need to take away foreign soil if such a necessity appears, irrespective of the inhumanity that may happen so as to get resources for the particular race or nation and in such a way ensuring its preservation. This partly explains the face value cruelty of Hitler in the period of holocaust as well as in the beginning of World War II during the operations of Blitzkrieg. Hitler esteemed humanity only to the point where ... (read more) Author: Andrew Schwartz

25. Hitler's Thoughts Concerning War October 01, 2007 Hitler starts speaking about nationalism from the very beginning of his book. He starts by saying that German-Austria, at that time just Austria, must be included into Reich. He says that this must be done without taking in account any harmful results of it. Basically, it must be done at any price so as to bring all Germans together under one Reich. Later, after Hitler’s coming to power, one of his first aims as Fuhrer was to add Austria to Reich and unite many ethnic Germans and half-breed Germans (Hitler was the last one). After that he would Blitzkrieg Poland to regain the Central Prussia i... (read more) Author: Andrew Schwartz
