Shaping Societies - João Florêncio Da Costa Júnior - Bog

Throughout history Leftist ideas have often championed noble ideals like liberty, equality, and fraternity. Yet, a closer look reveals that these seemingly enlightened concepts have been accompanied by tyranny, oppression, and even genocide. This book critically examines the core beliefs of the Leftist intelligentsia, focusing on the works of Antonio Gramsci and Norberto Bobbio. It unveils the hidden pretexts for political violence and terrorism concealed behind the moderate façade of Leftist discourse.This work delves into three interconnected hypotheses:a. Leftist tendencies contain intrinsic distortions that have fuelled political violence for centuries.b. Political violence is, to some extent, rooted in the epistemological foundations of Leftist ideologies.c. The evolution of Leftist ideology is often mirrored by the evolution of mechanisms for political violence. The research also explores the subjectivization of political violence, the global rise of terrorism, and the surge of anti-American and anti-Western ideologies.
