Fascism is ... the role of "World-historical individuals" as the agents by which "the Will of the World Spirit," the plan of Providence, is carried out (Bullock, 1962).

- 624: Vietnam War - The War We Should Have Won
- The Vietnam War is one of the most disgraceful periods in American history. Not only did the greatest superpower in the world get bested by an almost third-world nation, but we lost badly. Perhaps this war could have been won, or even ... disputed territory. Many countries had taken Vietnam over, and after World War II, Vietnam was in the hands of France. Obviously, the Vietnamese wanted their own country, and their long history of being a colony prompted the oppressed people to fight for their independence in the French-Indochina war. 7 Ho Chi Min, a leader of the Communist party, organized the ... won the Vietnam War completely through the use of air power.

He quite simply used roman history as a mapping of the paths of the decay of states. In contrast, Aristotle understood the underlying forces and influences that transpired when a state degraded. Cicero quite frankly could not understand the forces which Aristotle so eloquently denoted. For Cicero, history offered the only possible paths of outcomes; the forces and behaviors played little part on the resulting state.2 A further point of philosophical belief which Cicero contradicted the stoic ... too deeply but rather he relied to mush on the roman historic path as a blueprint. Cicero offered no real comprehensive logic behind his pattern of possible outcomes. Early roman history (tradition) tells of a series of seven kings, and the last, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, was a tyrannical rex. In the first part of Cicero's diagram a monarch is ...

- ... it protected Americans from the fact that they practiced a virulent kind of Apartheid, and from the implications if the practice stopped. The fact that each group has a cultural history that shapes its place in the social order, often marked by inequalities of power, negates the doctrine of pluralism. Historian Dr. Arthur Schlesinger, in The Disuniting of America, writes of ... To this extent, it is a corrective project which seeks to: A. Reconstruct the past: African civilization B. Rehabilitate Black identity C. Redefine the Black perspective by becoming subjects of history rather than objects.
