[Spanish] - La democracia ausente Audiobook

Cuarta edición, corregida y aumentada, de esta reflexión crítica indispensable para armar el rompecabezas histórico de la izquierda mexicana. A más de treinta y cinco años de su publicación, la presente obra se ha convertido en una reflexión crítica indispensable para armar el rompecabezas histórico de la izquierda mexicana y de lo que entonces, en la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, parecía una causa perdida en nuestro país: la democracia. Es una obra que mantiene toda su fuerza polémica y crítica, en la que además se puede percibir todavía la pasión con que fue escrita. Se trata de un conjunto de reflexiones ágiles y divertidas, muy estimulantes. Publicadooriginalmente bajo el título El reto de la izquierda, este conjunto de ensayos -escritos entre 1979 y 1985- da la pauta precisa para analizar los primeros pasos de México hacia la transición democrática y para entender la anatomía de una izquierda que buscaba nuevos caminos. Esta cuarta edición, corregida y aumentada, nos lleva a la época en que dominaba un sistema despótico que impidió durante decenios el progreso de una democracia representativa moderna.

[German] - Die Reichsbürger: Ermächtigungsversuche einer gespenstischen Bewegung

WER SIND DIE REICHSBÜRGER? Am 7. Dezember 2022 rückten mehr als 3 000 Polizisten zur wohl größten Anti-Terror-Razzia in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik aus. Sie verhafteten die Rädelsführer einer Gruppe aus dem Reichsbürgermilieu, die einen gewaltsamen Umsturz der Regierung geplant hatte. Wer aber sind diese Reichsbürger, die die Bundesrepublik Deutschland nicht als legitimen Staat anerkennen, von einer BRD GmbH fabulieren und sich immer noch im Deutschen Reich wähnen? Die Verfassungsrechtler Sophie und Christoph Schönberger betrachten die historischen Wurzeln der Reichsbürgerszene, die zu den Besonderheiten der deutschen Teilung zurückführen, beleuchten das vielfältige Spektrum ihrer gegenwärtigen Erscheinungsformen und untersuchen die Fragmente ihrer bruchstückhaften Ideologie. Die kuriose Besessenheit der Reichsbürger mit Rechtsnormen und bürokratischen Formen verleitet zwar allzu schnell dazu, sie als marginal und lächerlich abzutun. Tatsächlich ist die wachsende Szene allerdings von paradigmatischer Bedeutung für die gegenwärtige Bedrohung der Demokratie. Denn so gestrig die Reichsbürger durch ihren Bezug auf das vergangene Reich auch erscheinen mögen: Sie erweisen sich dennoch als ein durch und durch zeitgeistiges Phänomen unserer individualisierten Gesellschaft. Auf verbreitete Erfahrungen von Haltlosigkeit und Ohnmacht reagieren sie mit der Erfindung eines imaginären Rechts, das ihnen als Mittel zu einer radikalen Selbstermächtigung dient. Damit rühren sie nicht nur an die Grenzen des Verständlichen, sondern auch an die Grenzen staatlicher Macht. Die historische Entwicklung der Reichsbürgerszene Eine interessante Deutung, die über die Faktenlage hinausweist Die Reichsbürger stehen exemplarisch für die gegenwärtigen Bedrohungen unserer Demokratie Die gespenstische Bewegung enthüllt zugleich etwas Unheimliches über die Verfasstheit unserer Demokratie Die Schönbergers gehören zu den in der Öffentlichkeit profiliertesten und publizistisch talentiertesten Rechtswissenschaftlern Deutschlands

Making Britain Civilized: How to Gain Readmission to The Human Race

'Hitler's holocaust took over 6 million lives, hence he is rightly deemed a monster, but the british empire uprooted 15 million people from their homes, massacred millions and starved four million people to death. What about that?' Abhijit Naskar, the scientist and reformer who's been at the forefront of humankind's struggle against discrimination, prejudice and injustice, gives us a work of making amends. In his simple yet bold words, as always, Naskar states: 'There is no such thing as constitutional monarchy, you can either have constitution or monarchy.'

Politics On the Edge: The instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller from the host of hit podcast The Rest I

Brought to you by Penguin. From the former Conservative Cabinet minister and co-presenter of 2022's breakout hit podcast The Rest is Politics, a searing insider's account of ten extraordinary years in Parliament Over the course of a decade from 2010, Rory Stewart went from being a political outsider to standing for prime minister - before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise. Tackling ministerial briefs on flood response and prison violence, engaging with conflict and poverty abroad as a foreign minister, and Brexit as a Cabinet minister, Stewart learned first-hand how profoundly hollow and inadequate our democracy and government had become. Cronyism, ignorance and sheer incompetence ran rampant. Around him, individual politicians laid the foundations for the political and economic chaos of today. Stewart emerged battered but with a profound affection for his constituency of Penrith and the Border, and a deep direct insight into the era of populism and global conflict. Politics On the Edge invites us into the mind of one of the most interesting actors on the British political stage. Uncompromising, candid and darkly humorous, this is his story of the challenges, absurdities and realities of political life; a new classic of political memoir and a remarkable portrait of our age. ©2023 Rory Stewart (P)2023 Penguin Audio

Social Justice Fallacies

The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed. However attractive the social justice vision, the crucial question is whether the social justice agenda will get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences. More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others. But crusaders with an utter certainty about their mission are often undeterred by obstacles, evidence or even fatal dangers. That is where much of the Western world is today. The question is whether we will continue on heedlessly, past the point of no return.

The Year That Broke Politics: Collusion and Chaos in the Presidential Election of 1968

The unknown story of the election that set the tone for today's fractured politics The 1968 presidential race was a contentious battle between Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Republican Richard Nixon, and former Alabama governor George Wallace. The United States was reeling from the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy and was bitterly divided on the Vietnam War and domestic issues, including civil rights and rising crime. Drawing on previously unexamined archives and numerous interviews, Luke A. Nichter upends the conventional understanding of the campaign. Nichter chronicles how the evangelist Billy Graham met with Johnson after the president's attempt to reenter the race was stymied by his own party, and offered him a deal: Nixon, if elected, would continue Johnson's Vietnam War policy and also not oppose his Great Society, if Johnson would soften his support for Humphrey. Johnson agreed. This eye-opening account of the political calculations and maneuvering that decided this fiercely fought election reshapes our understanding of a key moment in twentieth-century American history.

Brought to you by Penguin. In Democracy Awakening, American historian Heather Cox Richardson examines how, over the decades, an elite minority have made war on American ideals.

The Democrat Party Hates America

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The eight-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, radio host, and Fox News star returns to the page to reveal the radically dangerous Democrat agenda that is upending American life. In American Marxism, Mark Levin explained how Marxist ideology has invaded our society and culture. In doing so, he exposed the institutions, scholars, and activists leading the revolution. Now, he picks up where he left off: to hold responsible the true malefactors steering our country down the wrong path. Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America. More than a political party, it is the entity through which Marxism has installed its philosophy and its new revolution. As in a Thomas Paine pamphlet or a clarion call from Paul Revere, Levin alerts his fellow Americans to the destruction this country is facing, and rallies them to defeat the threat in front of us—more looming than ever. He writes, "Every legal, legitimate, and appropriate tool and method must be employed in the short- and long- run to defeat the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party must be resoundingly conquered in the next election and several elections thereafter, or it will become extremely difficult to undo the damage it is unleashing at breakneck pace."

Mark R. Levin (Author), Jeremy Lowell (Narrator)

Hide Your Children: Exposing Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids

Having conquered all the major institutions of our culture, the left is closing in on its final frontier—your children. In this new book, Liz Wheeler exposes where the forces of wokeness are at work and explains how parents can fight back for a change. Everything is on the line. Despite the occasional victory, conservatives are on the defensive on every front of the culture wars, especially America’s schools. Planned Parenthood is funding gender theory indoctrination, groomer teachers are introducing youngsters to pornography, Disney executives are bragging about their “queerness agenda,” and teacher’s unions are poisoning young minds with racism. If someone doesn’t stand up and fight, these ideas will be the norm for a new generation. A distressing number of parents refuse to see how depraved our schools have become. The next generation will determine the fate of the American experiment in ordered liberty. Will they pass it on to their children, or will we lose our nation forever? Parents and their allies must go on the offensive in this existential fight. Fortunately, they have the truth on their side. It is not too late.
