The International Journal of INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY, Vol. 4, No. 3 (July 2008)

 

Editorial

 

 

 

The present issue is divided into three sections. The first section entitled “Theoretical Issues” includes an article by John Sargis on liberatory education which is in fact the text of a talk given by him on the occasion of the presentation in Athens of the book (to which he is a contributor)  Globalised Capitalism, The Eclipse of the Left and Inclusive Democracy (in Greek) ed. by Steven Best, (Athens, May 2008). The author describes in this well thought essay the nature and preconditions of a liberatory education aiming at collective and individual autonomy. The first section includes also the transcript of a very interesting video interview, which Oliver Ressler carried out with Nikos Panagos in Thessaloniki in May 2008 for Ressler's upcoming film project "What Is Democracy?" which will be launched in 2009.

 

The second issue entitled “The New World Order” includes two articles by Takis Fotopoulos, one relevant to the aim of the transnational elite with respect to the granting of “independence” to Kosovo and to supporting the Tibetans’ right to religious irrationalism and the feudal theocracy, and the other pertaining to the new fiasco of the European elite in its effort to force the European peoples to accept the European Constitution through the back door of a Euro treaty.  On the other hand, John Sargis, in an insightful article, examines the programs of Barack Obama and John McCain as the two faces of the elite.

 

Finally, the third section entitled “Historical Issues” deals with two important historical events that marked the second half of the last century. The first article by Takis Fotopoulos describes the work of Israeli “New Historians” who effectively demolished Zionist mythology on the way Israel was established. The second article by the same author attempts a demystification of May ‘68 ―particularly needed today when everybody seems to be celebrating, perhaps, the most significant  insurrection in the North since the Second World War.
