Anarchism
This article gives an anarchist account of politics as war to theorise an anarchist Realpolitik. Mikhail Vereshchagin’s killing in War and Peace provides the springboard to review the claim that sovereign power secures peace and to explore the merit of scapegoating. We elaborate the anarchist account of politics as war by juxtaposing Foucault’s and Proudhon’s interpretations of Hobbes’ sovereign and adopt the term ‘reverse ethics’ to describe the…
Normative behaviourism
In this article, I critique Jonathan Floyd's method of normative behaviourism (NB): that we should measure political preference for a political system from levels of crime and insurrection.First, I distinguish between problems with the data and problems with the theory.I proceed to examine 6 groups who present a difficulty for NB and identify the common thread: NB abstracts the capacity of groups to commit crime and insurrection, and therefore, m…
Violence, Political Strategy and the Turn to Guerrilla Warfare by the Congress Movement in South Africa
The Congress movement in South Africa was transformed in the early 1960s from a movement committed to the exclusive use of non-violent means in the struggle against apartheid to one focused on rural guerrilla warfare as a free-standing and sufficient first step towards ‘all-out war’ and the armed seizure of power. But few, if any, of the participants in the Congress movement’s deliberations in 1960–61 on whether to ‘turn to violence’ had believed…
The Turn to Sabotage by The Congress Movement in South Africa
Why did leaders of the Congress movement in South Africa abandon their exclusive reliance on non-violent means in the struggle against apartheid, form an armed unit (Umkhonto we Sizwe), and launch a campaign of spectacular sabotage bombings of symbols of apartheid in 1961? None of the earlier violent struggles from which Congress leaders drew inspiration, and none of the contemporaneous insurgencies against white minority rule elsewhere in southe…
From the Viewpoint of a Southern Governor”
The Carter administration's adoption of an approach towards the South African government's policy of apartheid that was, as Jimmy Carter put it, “correct but as easy on them as possible,” cannot be explained solely by American economic and strategic interests in the region or by the administration's desire for South Africa's cooperation on nuclear nonproliferation and the resolution of the conflicts in neighboring Rhodesia and Namibia. The lesson…
A Grand Design
“It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.” So declares Nelson Mandela in a speech after his release from prison in archive footage at the start of the first episode of Have You Heard from Johannesburg.1 The sentence captures the overall theme of the series. It is hammered home repeatedly by statements such as that of Tanzanian diplomat Salim Salim that it was “what the ordinary people did which made a diff…
Neolithic Causewayed Enclosures and Later Prehistoric Farming
Developer-funded archaeology on the Isle of Sheppey resulted in the discovery of not one but two Neolithic causewayed enclosures on the same hilltop in very close (c. 300 m) proximity. In the later Bronze Age enclosures and cremation cemeteries were constructed immediately to the east, followed by Iron Age enclosures and, ultimately, field systems dating to the later Iron Age onwards. A radiocarbon programme enabled the chronological sequence and…

A Social Tyranny
at the expense of the working class. Initially, due to the lack of capitalist and industrial infrastructure, the truck system was to a certain extent unavoidable; but it did not simply evaporate with the advancement of industry. Long after the convict era,2 wealthy companies continued to operate the truck system in the form of company stores and towns. It was not until 1899 that Western Australia's colonial government banned the truck system in m…
HIV Drug and Sex Risk Behaviors Among American Indian and Alaska Native Drug users
Little research has been conducted on HIV drug and sex risk behaviors of American Indians and Alaska Natives who use illicit drugs. Data from studies conducted with other ethnic groups indicates differences in HIV drug and sex risk behaviors of men and women and between drug users from different regions, cities, communities, and intervention sites. This study examines whether these differences in HIV drug and sex risk behaviors also exist for Ame…
