A Chalcedon Publication [www.chalcedon.edu] 3/30/07 THE JOURNAL OF CHRISTIAN RECONSTRUCTION This journal is dedicated to the fulfillment of the cultural mandate of Genesis 1:28 and 9:1—to subdue the earth to the glory of God. It is published by the Chalcedon Foundation, an independent Christian educational organization (see inside back cover). The perspective of the journal is that of orthodox Christian- ity. It affirms the verbal, plenary inspiration of the original manuscripts (auto- graphs) of the Bible and the full divinity and full humanity of Jesus Christ—two natures in union (but without intermixture) in one person. The editors are convinced that the Christian world is in need of a serious publi- cation that bridges the gap between the newsletter-magazine and the scholarly academic journal. The editors are committed to Christian scholarship, but the journal is aimed at intelligent laymen, working pastors, and others who are interested in the reconstruction of all spheres of human existence in terms of the standards of the Old and New Testaments. It is not intended to be another outlet for professors to professors, but rather a forum for serious discussion within Christian circles. The Marxists have been absolutely correct in their claim that theory must be united with practice, and for this reason they have been successful in their attempt to erode the foundations of the noncommunist world. The editors agree with the Marxists on this point, but instead of seeing in revolution the means of fusing theory and practice, we see the fusion in personal regeneration through God’s grace in Jesus Christ and in the extension of God’s kingdom. Good princi- ples should be followed by good practice; eliminate either, and the movement falters. In the long run, it is the kingdom of God, not Marx’s “kingdom of free- dom,” which shall reign triumphant. Christianity will emerge victorious, for only in Christ and His revelation can men find both the principles of conduct and the means of subduing the earth—the principles of biblical law. The Journal of Christian Reconstruction is published twice a year. Copyright by Chalcedon, 1978. Editorial and subscription offices: P.O. Box 158, Vallecito, CA 95251, U.S.A.

A Chalcedon Publication [www.chalcedon.edu] 3/30/07 EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION Gary North There are supposedly 40 million Bible-believing Christians in the United States, people who affirm their faith in the infallibility of the Bible. A voting bloc of 40 million people, if they acted as a unit, would be large enough to control the political life of the country. Yet it is obvi- ous to anyone that the United States is dominated by the forces of secu- lar humanism. The humanists have driven the Christians from every visible field of potential combat: schools, courthouses, legislatures, bureaucracies. Even if there were 80 million so-called Bible-believing Christians, it is unlikely that their presence, in and of itself, would alter the basic direction of U.S. political life. Consider the state of North Carolina. It is supposedly in the heart of the Bible belt. Its population is overwhelmingly decentralized; it is the eleventh largest state in the Union in terms of population, yet it has only one city over 300,000 and two more over 100,000. It is a state whose small-town population is overwhelmingly fundamentalistic in religious preference. Yet consider the tax code of the state regarding charitable deductions: You Can Deduct Gifts To... Churches, Red Cross, Boy Scouts, American Cancer Society, etc. The deduction for such contributions is limited to 15 percent of the adjusted gross income on page 1, line 11 of the return. Gifts to the State of North Carolina or any of its political subdivisions or any of their institutions, or agencies and to nonprofit educational institutions or hospitals located in North Carolina are deductible without limit (6). The secular humanists who run the State of North Carolina, in coop- eration with the secular humanists who operate the hospitals and pri- vate universities (such as Duke University), have worked out a very good deal for themselves. They have set up a totally discriminatory tax A Chalcedon Publication [www.chalcedon.edu] 3/30/07 8 JOURNAL OF CHRISTIAN RECONSTRUCTION code which subsidizes secular humanism at the expense of churches and other Christian enterprises of a charitable nature. But so few Christians give over fifteen percent of their adjusted gross income to any charity, let alone the church, that there is no reaction from the loyal political lemmings in the pews. They could control the state, yet the tax code reveals only too clearly who is really in control of politics in fun- damentalist North Carolina. How did this come about? In the North, it was the preaching of the {2} so-called Social Gospel, which had been preceded by the Abolition- ist movement, that turned the theologically liberal churches to political action. Many fundamentalists had been led by the perfectionist preach- ing of Charles G.

Source: russianposter.ru © Courtesy of russianposter.ru Dictatorship: Modern Tyranny Between Leviathan and Behemoth by Jan C. Behrends In the Roman Republic, a dictatorship (dictatura in Latin) referred to an institution of constitutional law. In times of emergency the senate would temporarily grant a dictator extraordinary powers to defend and restore state order. This classic meaning was reshaped in various ways during the twentieth century. Dictatorship became an ambiguous term whose range of meanings could encompass positive expectations as well as moral condemnation. The modern concept of dictatorship has been used as both a self-descriptor as well as a label employed by others to describe communist, fascist and Nazi rule. Its "saddle period" was the epoch of Lenin, Hitler and Stalin. In contemporary history, dictatorship has served as a collective term for varied forms of domination, from authoritarian to total rule, that are predicated on force, that forego certain features of a parliamentary state based on the rule of law such as free elections and a system of checks and balances, and in which a dictator perpetuus exercises power unrestrained by law.

  • Totalitarianism 1 Totalitarianism
    Totalitarianism 1 Totalitarianism Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever necessary.[1] The concept of totalitarianism was first developed in a positive sense in the 1920's by the Italian fascists. The concept became prominent in Western anti-communist political discourse during the Cold War era in order to highlight perceived similarities between Nazi Germany and other fascist regimes on the one hand, and Soviet communism on the other.[2][3][4][5][6] Aside from fascist and Stalinist movements, there have been other movements that are totalitarian. The leader of the historic Spanish reactionary conservative movement called the Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right declared his intention to "give Spain a true unity, a new spirit, a totalitarian polity..." and went on to say "Democracy is not an end but a means to the conquest of the new state. Moloch of Totalitarianism – memorial of victims of repressions exercised by totalitarian regimes, When the time comes, either parliament submits or we will eliminate at Levashovo, Saint Petersburg. it."[7] Etymology The notion of "totalitarianism" a "total" political power by state was formulated in 1923 by Giovanni Amendola who described Italian Fascism as a system fundamentally different from conventional dictatorships.[8] The term was later assigned a positive meaning in the writings of Giovanni Gentile, Italy’s most prominent philosopher and leading theorist of fascism. He used the term “totalitario” to refer to the structure and goals of the new state.

In the twentieth century, Protestant theology has a heavy burden on its back-the readiness of some of its most distinguished representatives to embrace totalitarian regimes, notably Adolf Hitler's "Third Reich." In this matter the historian's task is not to jettison but to ensure that the burden on Prot- estants is not too lightly cast aside-an easy temptation if we imagine that the theologians who turned to Hitler did so with the express desire of embracing a monster.

Wilkinson* Abstract: Behind the constitutional crisis of the European Union lies the conjuncture of ‘authoritarian liberalism’, when politically authoritarian forms of governing emerge to protect the material order of economic liberalism. This constitutional conjuncture can be grasped by integrating into constitutional enquiry the material dynamic between democracy and capitalism, as recently theorised by Wolfgang Streeck. Authoritarian liberalism can then be explored across a much deeper and longer constitutional trajectory, from the interwar breakdown of liberal constitutionalism, to its post-war and post-Maastricht reconstruction, in each case represented by a de-democratisation of the economy. From this perspective, the recent assaults on democracy in the Euro-crisis appear to be a continuation of, rather than divergence from, the normal path of integration.

  • Schmitt Scholarship*
    Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theorv/Revue canadienne de thiorie politique et sociale, Vol. 4, No. 2 (Spring-Summer/ Printemps-Ete, 1980). SCHMITT SCHOLARSHIP* George Schwab Until recently anyone interested in gathering information about Carl Schmitt in the English-speaking world had no choice but to turn to the standard literature written by well known political scientists and historians, some of whom exerted enormous influence on the American intellectual scene. A number of them, including Carl Joachim Friedrich and Franz Neumann, knew Schmitt personally or were well acquainted with his work . It is not surprising - given his originality, his large intellectual output and his support of Bruening's measures against the Nazis and Schleicher's endeavors to outflank Hitler -Schmitt should have enjoyed wide respectand even admiration especially in Weimar Germany and Europe in general . But all this changed when Schmitt decided to participate in the Nazi venture after the Reichstag extended to Hitler an enabling act in March 1933 that was unprecedented in scope. Understandably, the attitude of a number of his former students, friends and followers who were forced to flee Germany shifted . It was their extreme disappointment with Schmitt's decision that led them to attack him bitterly, so much so that dispassionate discourse about Schmitt and his work became impossible . The forms that the attack assumed included questioning Schmitt's integrity, concealing some of his ideas, distorting others, and even appropriating his concepts without acknow- ledgement . A few examples will suffice to illustrate the extent to which the medium of scholarship was enlisted to serve nonscholarly ends .

Deploying a 'genealogical' perspective, it clarifies the transformation of ideas of sovereignty which reflect political changes in domestic and international society. Focussing primarily on Anglo-American discourses, it explores the hidden conceptual struggles involved in theories of sovereignty by illuminating its encounter with nationalism and constitutionalism. The national and constitutional forms of sovereignty are used to trace the trajectories of concepts of sovereignty in the fields of political, legal and international studies. This thesis opens with an explication of the genealogical tools derived from Nietzsche and Foucault and a survey of existing accounts of sovereignty within the international relations literature.

Sobre la base de la experiencia histórica y política del imperio ruso, la Unión Soviética, la Federación de Rusia señaló que en Rusia y en algunos países de la CEI se ha formado una autoritaria-modernización de regímenes políticos presidenciales que la implementación de una misión poderosa y un estado fuerte puede contribuir a la aceleración de la ejecución de los programas de desarrollo. La definición propuesta de régimen político intrapolítico refleja el funcionamiento de configuraciones de poder más específicamente históricas dentro de los regímenes clásicos, generalmente de naturaleza autoritaria y presidencial en forma política y jurídica.

  • Learning Geopolitical Pluralism: Toward a New International Oil Regime? 1 Clement M
    Chapter 1 Learning Geopolitical Pluralism: Toward a New International Oil Regime? 1 Clement M. Henry The Middle East can be viewed as Hell’s kitchen, depositary of most of the world’s most cheaply accessed oil that accounts for much of our global warming. Given its environmental impact, somehow containing its production and distribution must surely be a priority for any political ecology of the region. The Middle East is also viewed by many as a geopolitical prize astride three continents, now sharply contested and fragmented by proxy wars in Libya, Syria, and Yemen reflecting a painful readjustment of the global balance that empowers regional rivalries. While the local conflicts are not about oil, the imputed strategic value of the commodity has reinforced the region’s geopolitical significance as an arena for competition among great powers. Political ecology (the third paradigm proposed in the introduction to this book) may suggest, however, that oil be viewed as just another commodity without any special strategic value. Was “securing oil” not simply a construct to buttress the US military industrial complex and to legitimate the United States protecting the Free World and pressuring potential adversaries?2 Yet overemphasizing this narrative risks overlooking not only how oil has been a key material factor in state formation and nation building in the last century (as explained in the volume's introduction), but also how under the shadow of Anglo-American hegemony the oil producers managed to control production first in Texas and then in the whole of the non-Soviet world. In response to an oil glut in the early 1930s, when the price of oil dropped to under 10 cents a barrel, the Texas Railroad Commission acquired the authority to prorate production.
