From the Article: THE critics of Idealism, so numerous at the present time, seem to me more ready to uphold against the claims of thought the superior dignity of the Real, than to explain what they mean by that very ambiguous term.

From the Article: For Truth is the Unity of the universal and subjective Will; and the Universal is to be found in the State, in its laws, its universal and rational arrangements. The State is the Divine Idea as it exists on Earth.

From the Article: When much of the population, not just small children, take an active interest in comic books, and anime, with their puerile, simplistic discourses, you know that something is wrong. When the hottest ticket in town is Comic-Con, where half the attendees are dressed up like it's Halloween, you know there’s a problem.

From the Article: The fact of race, which was originally crucial, thus becomes increasingly less important. Human history is essentially different from zoology, and race is not everything, as it is among the rodents or the felines, and one does not have the right to go through the world fingering people's skulls, and taking them by the throat saying: 'You are of our blood; you belong to us!' Aside from anthropological characteristics, there are such things as reason, justice, the true, and the beautiful, which are the same for all. Be on your guard, for this ethnographic politics is in no way a stable thing and, if today you use it against others, tomorrow you may see it turned against yourselves.

From the Article: How is a society supposed to move forward, composed of citizens interacting with each other when that society is slowly devolving into two separate hostile camps, one with a D, the other identified with an R? The answer is that it cannot. The path we’re headed towards is one of destruction, because both of these camps fail to recognize the integral value and internal nature of both the tendency to conserve and the tendency towards innovation.

"The true State is not based upon an abstract theory of extracting man from the source of his individuality, but of building an institution which is based upon man’s nature and is designed to facilitate the spiritual aspect of that nature."

From the Article: At this point the deficiencies of democracy have become manifest. The reality of democratic life, as can be seen on a daily basis, has been rejected by most of the populace. What keeps the present structure from undergoing radical change is the myth; those visual representations meant to mobilize the masses. The lie, the propaganda, that ‘we no longer have democracy’, and ‘only if we became more open and democratic - this is what is keeping the legs from collapsing under the weight of democratic contradictions.
