Title: Anarchism: What It Really Stands For

Author: Emma Goldman

Narrator: Mark Bowen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 42 minutes

Release date: December 27, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Emma Goldman (1869 – 1940) was an anarchist political activist and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century.  In this essay, (1910) Goldman sets forth her interpretation of the ideology of anarchism. Like most anarchists, she was highly idealistic; believing that human nature was inherently good, she was convinced that a state of absolute freedom would maximize human happiness and productivity. Here she enumerates the many constraints — including religion, property, law and government — that she sees as limiting the individual's liberty. She claims that anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth, an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life.

Learn how to make sure you get the correct Social Security benefits, avoid frightening clawbacks, and how to deal with the opaque bureaucracy of Social Security. Social Security admits it has made $21.6 billion in incorrect benefits payments! Now it wants its money back—from widows, orphans, retired schoolteachers, and even young children whose parents received disability benefits on their behalf. Often with no explanation, they send threatening letters clawing back amounts ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $100,000. The clawback notices all carry the threat that benefits will be stopped immediately if a repayment plan is not set. But it's almost impossible to get an explanation, the records, or an appointment for a resolution of these clawback demands. It could happen to you—or to someone you love. We wrote this book to help you and let you know you're not alone. We are also working to pressure Congress and the Treasury Secretary to prevent these intimidating clawback interactions that impact our most vulnerable citizens.

Title: [Ukrainian] - Держава

Author: платон

Narrator: артем окороков

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 22 minutes

Release date: December 21, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

«Держава» — діалог Платона, присвячений проблемі ідеальної держави. Він був створений у 360 р. до н.е. На думку Платона, держава є втіленням ідеї справедливості. В діалогові вперше чітко вказані філософи як люди, здатні осягнути те, що завжди тотожне самому собі. Діалог містить систематику й короткий критичний аналіз різновидів державного устрою (ідеальна «держава майбутнього», котра поки не існує, до нього не входить), розташованих Платоном за мірилом поступової деградації, що має вигляд еволюції в часі, але незворотність такої еволюції прямо не стверджується, а саме питання невідворотності деградації не поставлене чітко, тож маючи бажання, цю деградацію можна вважати лише описом певної тенденції, вельми подібної до занепаду ладу первісної демократії. Ось це мірило типів держави (від найкращої до найгіршої): Аристократія й Монархія, Тимократія, Олігархія, Демократія, Тиранія. Платон — автор багатьох філософських праць: «Хармід», «Евтідем», «Евтифрон», «Критіас», «Мінос», «Еріксіас», «Алківіад Перший», «Сократова Апологія», «Гіппій Великий» тощо.   Переклад українською Ярослава Мішанича
