The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights. Sirakova, Mariola (1904-1925) – Bulgarian anarchist and actress, she and her partner Gueorgui Cheitanov were ambushed and executed by the authorities in a national campaign against the revolutionary movement (Heath, Sirakova, Mariola”). Contempt of Court – An intentional act designed to hinder a courtís administration of justice. Direct contempt is committed in the immediate presence and view of the court. Constructive, or indirect, contempt is the failure or refusal to obey lawful court orders. The chores done, in the very little remaining free time he had, a soldier could have been found doing such things as writing letters home or making entries into his journal. Writing implements in those days included a pencil or a pen, and an ink well. The pens could have been quills, made of goose or turkey feathers, or they could have been short, thin wooden handles with metal nibs” on the end. The ends of the pens were dipped into the ink wells, which were short, mostly wooden bottles of ink. When some of the ink was drawn up into a small reservoir” within the quill or nib, it was now possible to write. The ink was usually in powder, rather than in liquid, form to minimize the risks of spills when on the march. Democratic socialism has become a major force in American political life. Just look at Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who is planning a national address on Wednesday on what it is and why he believes it’s needed. We have the most modern, latest and greatest form of government for the greatest amount of people. I really think providence allowed the founders to be born when and where they were, to bring forth the ideals of the enlightened age. And here, today, so many do not have the ears to hear or the eyes to read the founding documents or the writings of the thinkers who promoted the ideals of human rights, such as Locke and Hume, or learn from Greek and Roman History. Germany: After World War II, Germany was split into essentially two different countries, East Germany and West Germany When West Germany was set up by the Allies, it was formed as a constitutional democracy. It wasn’t until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1991 that Germany was unified under a single constitution. By saying this we do not wish to diminish the importance of other internal factors which are unfavorable to national liberation, such as economic under-development, the consequent social and cultural backwardness of the popular masses, tribalism and other contradictions of lesser importance. It should however be pointed out that the existence of tribes only manifests itself as an important contradiction as a function of opportunistic attitudes, generally on the part of detribalized individuals or groups, within the national liberation movements. Contradictions between classes, even when only embryonic, are of far greater importance than contradictions between tribes.
You write that “corporate greed has finished America off” but that is not what is causing America’s problems. The average corporation makes 5% profit per year. There is nothing wrong with that. That is how you get people to voluntarily invest money, by giving them the hope of a return on their investment. Under socialism you just take people’s money at the barrel of a gun and let the state spend it. How that is supposed to be ‘better’ or even more ‘fair’ I do not understand. 23 Tyrone Kirchengast, The Victim in Criminal Law and Justice (Palgrave MacMillan, 2006) 29. On the basis of this, we can state that national liberation is the phenomenon in which a given socio-economic whole rejects the negation of its historical process. In other words, the national liberation of a people is the regaining of the historical personality of that people, its return to history through the destruction of the imperialist domination to which it was subjected. Magistrates are the presiding officers in the lower courts. The regional court has jurisdiction within a particular regional division and the district court within a particular magisterial district. They only function as courts of first instance. As an exception, they can hear appeals from the courts of chiefs and headmen. In practice, regional courts only try criminal cases, while district courts try criminal and civil cases. The Magistrate’s Commission deals with the appointment, promotion, transfer or dismissal of or disciplinary steps against magistrates. The leading case on this particular principle is the Cutting case in 1886″ which concerned the publication in Texas of a statement defamatory to a Mexican by an American citizen. Cutting was arrested while in Mexico and convicted of the offence (a crime under Mexican law) with Mexico maintaining its right to jurisdiction upon the basis of the passive person- ality principle. The United States strongly protested against this, but there was an inconclusive end to the incident, the charges being withdrawn by the injured party. Evidence demands are within the sovereign inquisitorial function of the court — not within the lawyers’ role. Defendants do not get to choose their appointed counsel. The court will appoint the local public defender’s office or a local private attorney from an approved panel. If the court appoints the public defender’s office, that office will assign one of its attorneys to the case. If the court appointed a private attorney from its panel, it may assign a lawyer from a list of attorneys on duty that day for court appointments.
Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, said socialism is a form of government because it reflects that the government owns everything. Hmmm, cleaning services do well. A friend wanted to start a service and was having little luck – I suggested she advertise as using only ‘green products’ and she seems to be doing well now. Further, if one is wondering why capitalism appears to have gone astray as of late – it’s simple, socialists in the government political leadership base have created an incestuous relationship with bankers, industry and capitalists to circumvent the flow of money, capital and control labor and production to serve their will. This is wonderfully idealized fiction to teach the kiddies, but certainly not reality. A republic is a democracy in which mob rule has an extra barrier. We are no longer either a republic or a democracy. The steady erosion of campaign regulations by the corporate right wingers on the supreme court, combined with the influence of lobbying to corrupt the legislative process, along with politicians who use public office as an internship for their future corporate job, has made us a plutocracy. The wishes of the people don’t matter, only the wishes of the tiny minority with deep pockets. Any civics book which doesn’t cover campaign finance, lobbying, and the revolving door between government and corporate positions, should be thrown in the trash. Websites like this should be edited and updated to teach people how things actually work, and why it must be fixed. Instead of silly videos, post a link to the Opensecrets website. Anarchy Archives An online research center on the history and theory of Anarchism. Provides electronic texts of anarchist classics, links etc., at Pitzer University. However, political differences do exist, particularly over the means to achieve human liberation, and what social forces or classes can accomplish it. Contemporary anarchism has some important differences, but also a great deal of continuity, with historical anarchism. Where it focuses on building an alternative in the interstices” of capitalism, it accommodates to, rather than challenges, capitalism; and where it fetishizes street tactics, it generates more press than tangible success in either building the struggle or in challenging the state. Step 9. Total Societal Discord. Also in ancient Greece, debtors, when the legislative ransoming of the rich’s wealth was not enough, murdered creditors as in Mytilene. Today, Venezuela is in near total societal breakdown as tens of thousands seek to flee the country amidst a socialist dictatorship, a growing police state, empty store shelves, little medicine, and even less order.
