Fodder is food for livestock - the livestock in this case being cannons, the food being the soldiers sent against them. Soldiers, sailors, or other military personnel regarded as likely to be killed or wounded in combat. Soldiers who are regarded as expendable in the face of artillery fire.
Capitalism Capitalism has been defined in various ways. In common usage it refers to an economic system in which all or most of the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit, and where investments, production, distribution, income, and prices are determined largely through the operation of a "free market" rather than by centralized state control (as in a command economy). All modern Western economies contain some degree of capitalism. Most theories of what has come to be called capitalism developed in the 18th century, 19th century and 20th century, for instance in the context of the industrial revolution and European imperialism, The Great Depression and the Cold war. These theorists characterize capitalism as an economic system where capital is privately owned and economic decisions are determined in a free market --that is, by trades that occur as a result of voluntary agreement between buyers and sellers; where a market mentality and entrepreneurial spirit exists; and where specific, legally enforceable, notions of property and contract are instituted. Such theories typically try to explain why capitalist economies are likely to generate more economic growth than those subject to a greater degree of governmental intervention. Some emphasize the private ownership of capital as being the essence of capitalism, while others emphasize the importance of a free market as a mechanism for the movement and accumulation of capital. Some note the growth of a global market system. Others focus on the application of the market to human labor. Others, such as Hayek, note the self-organizing character of economies who are not centrally-planned by government. Many of these theories call attention to various economic practices that became institutionalized in Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries, especially involving the right of individuals and groups of individuals acting as "legal persons" (or corporations) to buy and sell capital goods, as well as land, labor, and money, in a free market, and relying on the state for the enforcement of private property rights rather than on a system of feudal protection and obligations.
Communism As a political movement, communism is a more radical branch of the broader socialist movement. The communist movement differentiates itself from other branches of the socialist movement through their wish to completely do away with all aspects of market society under the final stage of the system, as well as their unshakable commitment to armed revolutionary strategies for overthrowing capitalism, and their focus on the international working class as key in that revolution. As a practical matter, however, most revolutions that attempted to implement a communist society and were successful at overthrowing the state, have resulted in totalitarian dictatorships. Whether they were actually communist is often disputed by Anarcho-communists
Despotism Absolutism: dominance through threat of punishment and violence. Dictatorship: a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.) Despotism is government by a singular authority, either a single person or tightly knit group, which rules with absolute power. The word implies tyrannical rule; it suggests a form of government which exercises exacting and near-absolute control over all of its citizens.
Fascism A social and political ideology with the primary guiding principle that the state or nation is the highest priority, rather than personal or individual freedoms. A political movement that believes in an extreme form of nationalism: denying individual rights, insisting upon the supremacy of the state, and advocating one-party rule with ultimate authority resting in the hands of a dictator.
Free Market Economy A free market is an economic term for an idealized market system, where all economic decisions and actions by individuals regarding transfer of money, goods, and services are voluntary, and are therefore devoid of coercion and theft (some definitions of "coercion" are inclusive of "theft"). Colloquially and loosely, a free market economy is an economy where the market is relatively free, as in an economy overseen by a government that practices a laissez-faire, rather than either a mixed or statist economic policy. Within economics the more usual term is simply "the market", or "the market mechanism", to mean the allocation of production through supply and demand.
Left-wing In politics, left-wing, political left, leftism, or simply the left, are terms that refer (with no particular precision) to the segment of the political spectrum typically associated with any of several strains of socialism, social democracy, or liberalism (especially in the American sense of the word), or with opposition to right-wing politics. Communism (as well as the Marxist philosophy that it relies on) and anarchism are considered to be radical forms of left-wing politics. The liberal and radical half of the political spectrum. Leftists include revolutionaries, Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, Unionists, and other radicals. All the parties described in this website are leftist. They are the polar opposite of members of the Right-wing. The custom of left and right originated in the French National Assembly in 19th century, when the presiding officer had members of radical parties seated to the left, conservatives to the right, and moderates in the center.
Malthusian based on the theories of British economist Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), who argued that population tends to increase faster than food supply, with inevitably disastrous results, unless the increase in population is checked by moral restraints or by war, famine, and disease.
Military Industrial Complex The term military-industrial complex usually refers to the combination of the U.S. armed forces, arms industry and associated political and commercial interests, which grew rapidly in scale and influence in the wake of World War II, although it can also be used to describe any such relationship of industry and military. It is sometimes used to refer to the iron triangle which is argued to exist between weapons makers/military contractors, The Pentagon and the United States Congress.
Neo-Con or Neo-Conservative As a rule, the term refers more to journalists, pundits, policy analysts, and institutions affiliated with the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and with Commentary and The Weekly Standard than to more traditional conservative policy think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation or periodicals such as Policy Review or National Review. The Neo-Conservatives, often dubbed the Neo-Cons by supporters and critics alike, are credited with or blamed for influencing U.S. foreign policy, especially under the administrations of Ronald Reagan (1981–1989) and George W. Bush (2001–present). Neo-Conservatives have often been singled out for criticism by opponents of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, many of whom see this invasion as a Neo-Conservative initiative. (text below taken from stopthelie.com - read the home page entirely to grasp the full scope of Neo-Conservatism) Real Republicans, take note: There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between "Conservative Republican Values" and "Neo-Conservative Values." Conservative Republicans: STRONGLY favor protecting our civil liberties - Truly American Neo-Conservatives: See our civil liberties as an unnecessary restriction on government power. Conservative Republicans: STRONGLY favor a smaller, less intrusive government- Truly American Neo-Conservatives: Are Willing to spend money (and expand government reach) without restraint, provided it helps them further their agenda. Conservative Republicans: STRONGLY favor Fiscal Responsibility and reducing taxes - GOOD FOR AMERICA Neo-Conservatives: Fool the public into thinking a "tax cut" (Paid for with PRINTED MONEY) is actually beneficial, hiding the fact that it amounts to little more than a loan that the taxpayer (or their children) will have to repay WITH INTEREST.
Paradigm Refers to a pattern or model; a collection of assumptions, concepts, practices, and values that constitutes a way of viewing reality, especially for an intellectual community that shares them. An acquired way of thinking about something that shapes thought and action in ways that are both conscious and unconscious. Paradigms are essential because they provide a culturally shared model for how to think and act, but they can present major obstacles to adopting newer, better approaches.
Pretext Something serving to conceal plans; a fictitious reason that is concocted in order to conceal the real reason. Guise: an artful or simulated semblance; "under the guise of friendship he betrayed them."
Problem Reaction Solution (The Hegelian Dialectic) The government creates or exploits a crisis blaming it on others The people react by asking the government for help willing to give up their rights The government offers their solution that was planned long before the crisis
Proselytize To proselytize is to attempt to persuade someone to change their political or religious beliefs, or the way that they live their lives. Near synonyms include: reorient, recruit, inculcate, and win over.
Right-wing In politics, right-wing, the political right, or simply the right, are terms which refer, with no particular precision, to the segment of the political spectrum in opposition to left-wing politics. It is usually, but not always, associated with conservatism. (See political spectrum and left-right politics for a detailed explanation and discussion of this kind of classification.) The conservative and reactionary half of the political spectrum. Right-wingers include (in varying extremes) free-market capitalists, Nazis, religious theocrats, fascists, racists, nationalists, militarists, and certain Populists. Three of the largest conservative parties in the United States are the Republican Party, the Libertarian Party, and the Constitution Party. The custom of left and right originated in the French National Assembly in 19th century, when the presiding officer had members of radical parties seated to the left, conservatives to the right, and moderates in the center.
Social Darwinism Term coined in the late 19th century to describe the idea that humans, like animals and plants, compete in a struggle for existence in which natural selection results in “survival of the fittest.” The application of Darwinism to the study of human society, specifically a theory in sociology that individuals or groups achieve advantage over others as the result of genetic or biological superiority. A concept based on the idea of "survival of the fittest." Based on Social Darwinism, the Nazis created a pseudo-scientific brand of racism which was most virulent when directed against the Jews, but others, particularly Slavs, were not exempt.
Sovereignty The principle that the state exercises absolute power over its territory, system of government, and population. Accordingly, the internal authority of the state supercedes that of all other bodies, both inside and outside its territories; and the state emerges as the ultimate arbiter of its grievances vis--vis others. Sovereignty theoretically preserves the territorial inviolability of the state and its independence from outside authorities. In practice, the sovereignty of smaller and weaker states is limited and even the larger and stronger states confront a world in which various forms of interdependence, economic and otherwise, diminish their claims to a territorial monopoly of control. In addition, international law and international regimes (like the GATT) limit the exercise of sovereignty by those states that recognize their utility. This does not prevent governments from cherishing the idea of national sovereignty, however.
Usurper One who wrongfully or illegally seizes and holds the place of another. One who has successfully completed a Coup D’etat.
Whitewash A specious or deceptive clearing that attempts to gloss over failings and defects Exonerate by means of a perfunctory investigation or through biased presentation of data
