Club Name : PoliticalScienceandPhilosophy Description : This is a place for people of all backgrounds to discuss political theory. This is not Left Versus Right, or any kind of group based on hyperbole and personal attacks. This is where we can all calmly talk about our beliefs and learn from one another. I don't plan on deleting anyone (unless you decide to spam the group or post malicious html, but I don't know why you would want to, since there is no partisan agenda). We will dissect as many philosophies as possible, to their most fundamental structures. Possible Subjects: The Left-Right Political Spectrum The Nolan Chart Other Spectrums Pro-state Versus Anti-state Public Property Versus Private Property Revolutionary Versus Reactionary Unity Liberty Stability Equality Balance Political/Economic Terms: Abolitionism Absolutism Agorism Anarchism Anti-federalism Authoritarianism Bolshevism Capitalism Centrism Collectivism Colonialism Communism Constitutionalism Consumerism Corporatism Cosmopolitanism Despotism Distributism Dominionism Egalitarianism Falangism Fascism Federalism Feminism Francoism Globalism Green Environmentalism Hegelianism Hitlerism Hobbesianism Individualism Interventionism Islamism Isolationism Jingoism Kantianism Leftism Leninism Libertarianism Libertinism Localism Maoism Marxism McCarthyism Menshevism Mercantilism Militarism Minarchism Mutualism Nationalism Nazism Objectivism Pacifism Polycentrism Populism Producerism Progressivism (or American Liberalism) Radicalism Reformism Rightism Royalism Separatism Social Darwinism Socialism Stalinism Statism Toryism Totalitarianism Traditionalism (or American Conservatism) Trotskyism Unionism Welfarism Whiggism Zionism Theorists and Leaders: Aristotle John Austin Mikhail Bakunin Frederic Bastiat Jeremy Bentham Jean Bodin Edmund Burke John C.
