Part I: What is the Hegelian Dialectic? first published at the ACL January, 2003. Part II: The Historical Evolution of Communitarian Thinking, first published at the ACL December, 2003. ABSTRACT, written for the new hardcopy, published online on April 1, 2008 at http://nikiraapana.blogspot.com/2008/04/abstract-anti-communitarian-manifesto.html

Question: What do George Bush (USA), Tony Blair (UK), Gerhard Schroeder (Germany), Bill and Hilary Clinton (USA), Ariel Sharon (Israel), Mikhail Gorbachev (USSR), Jiang Zemin (China), The Pope (Vatican), Prince Charles (England), Queen Beatrix (The Hague), Amitai Etzioni (Israel/USA) and Kofi Annan (United Nations) have in common?

Answer: Every one of them is a political communitarian, and communitarianism is the synthesis in the Hegelian dialectic. Nobody ever seems to have heard of these things, so we wrote What is the Hegelian Dialectic? and The Historical Evolution of Communitarian Thinking. They were originally published seperately, but we combined them to form our definitive Anti Communitarian Manifesto.
