Left Imperialism

Left Imperialism is an exercise in a novel field: ideology archaeology. Is the United States Constitution conservative or liberal Where does the conservative-liberal dichotomy originate Are American conservatives related to British conservatives or not Who are the anarchists--left-wingers or right-wingers Left Imperialism offers the answers to these questions and many more, taking on a spectrum of ideologies from a brand-new evolutionary perspective. For example, the book traces the origin of many standard political terms--like 'left-wing' and 'right-wing'--from their inception to the present through all their perturbations. It also examines in distinctive detail political movements like Conservatism, Fascism, Liberalism, Marxism, Anarchism, and many more, from as far away as Cardinal Richelieu's epoch through World War II and into the present. The book's narrative has one overriding theme: the evolution of freedom. Left Imperialism presents a novel concept in political philosophy called the 'individual-state paradigm,' which generalizes and extrapolates the Right-Left distinction.
