Hello, I come to you in time of need.
I am currently working on my thesis and I am searching for english version of Sartori's essay "pluralismo multiculturalismo e estranei", which should translate to "pluralism, multiculturalism and the foreingners".
I have been googling and searching my university library's search engine for academic texts but did not manage to find the english version. I do own a version of the book in my native language, but I am afraid to use it as a source book, as I might mistranslate the quotations or change their meaning by my mistranslation - the essay was originally published in italian, meaning that if I translate it again from my native language, it would be a translation of a translation (simply something I would rather avoid)
In other words, i need the book in english so I don't have to translate it on my own.
Does anyone know if the essay was translated to english? If yes, where could I find it?
I found at least three versions of the essay, each in different language (Italian, French, Czech), but not English.
I even tried Amazon, which sells some of the versions i mentioned above, but I didn't find the english version.
I apologize if this isn't the right sub for this kind of question, if there is a problem with it, please redirect me to an appropriate sub.

I'm new to all of this, but the source of my main hesitance is how this would be implemented in areas with a history of one ethnic group dominating another, such as the United States. Taking the state away does take away a vital tool of repression, but how do you mend the divide in the aftermath? How do you prevent a decentralized genocide? How do you address resentments on both sides -- for the disenfranchised ethnic group with a history under the boot of the dominant one, and the inevitable resentment in the formerly dominant ethnic group as their property and resources were redistributed and now communally owned?

As a person of color, my experience has led me to believe that the racist propaganda wielded by rich white class to pit the working class whites is extremely difficult to dismantle and will remain an issue after a revolution. How do you dismantle white people's subconscious bias that other racial and ethnic groups are culturally inferior, more physically threatening, less attractive or intelligent--things that definitely affect how majority-white communities treat minority community members.

Is there literature on this subject? Specifically by people of color living in the United States or belonging to marginalized identities in other racially/ethnically hierarchal societies?

They should be the ones that we have tests for.

They should be the ones we exclude.

80% of the population only speaks English. The vast majority of the population belongs to a dominant English-speaking, Anglo-American culture.

Most are part of an ethnicity that often doesn't see itself as one.

That's not to say the group doesn't exist, just that it is hard to pin down because it dislikes being named. In literature that group is called "the Melting Pot."

It's because, like I said, most Americans, are Anglos. America was founded as a British colony, and the Anglo culture thus became dominant.

During the nineteenth century, America experienced a wave of immigration from Germany, Scandinavia, and Latin and Slavic countries, as well as Asia, and during the 20th century, from Latin America, and ethnic enclaves formed in America. However, as a result of the post-WWII suburbanization of America, most "ethnic" communities shed their ancestors cultures/ethnicity to join the Anglos to form a single one. And this seems to be the trend with new ethnic groups immigrating to America. They usually keep their culture for several generations, then shed it to be absorbed with the Anglos.

There are exceptions, for example, many Southwestern communities still speak Spanish, and many Midwestern and Pennsylvanian communities still speak German.

Hello stupidpol. One of your resident tankie USSR apologists here (or, as thefunhouseofideology calls it “Stalinists with Oedipus Complexes").

I would like to begin by discussing my sudden turn from banal shitposting to attempting to engage with Stupidpol more critically. Why is this? Why can this matter?

It is primarily due to the tenor of Stupidpol these days, particularly in regards to our usual pet issue of “Rightoid Creep.” What are the criticisms of this Rightoid Creep? That they derail discussion, exacerbate reactionary tendencies and degrade the Marxist character of this sub. Many claim that we are past the point of no return.

I disagree. The Rightoids are not a problem, but rather there must be a certain amount of “Rightoid Repellant” that functions in the same manner that our anti-IdPol stance acts as a “Libtard Repellant”.

How does one create a Rightoid repellant?

By posting theory. They don’t read this stuff and think we’re fucking stupid for trying to use it.

Further, I am hoping that my feeble attempts to create, repurpose and interpret theory will inspire more of you to do the same. Increasing our high effort posts will have the effect of reinvigorating our Marxist character, as well as signal to those who come here for the “dunking on liberals” that this sub allows for that this is a Marxist subreddit first and foremost.

Our disagreement with IdPol stems from several places; the chief criticism we have to level against it, is that it is Identity Essentialist and thus inherently counter-Revolutionary.

Our disagreement with IdPol is not that we want to be chauvinist misogynists, that we want to be virulent racists, that truly all we desire is an excuse to make fun of “minorities” and so on and so forth.

It is my hope that through these theory posts we can reaffirm our commitment to these ideological positions.

This does bring us, then, to the actual topic of this post.

What makes a class Revolutionary?

Further, what does it mean to be reactionary? What creates this social phenomenon?

Building off of these questions, how can we determine the Revolutionary or reactionary character of classes, and how can we use this in the project of building an actually existing socialist American state?

———————————————

Let us begin with the question of what makes a class Revolutionary. This is, in many ways, Marxism 101 but I believe it is important to discuss. First, I appreciate theory that addresses all of the claims it makes wi

This must be a very difficult question to answer.

I used to post ads on Binance P2P in GBP and made a lot of money off of it after a long period of time. I noticed that a significant number of people I trade with don't have 'ethnically British' names. Now this can be expected in a multiethnic society like Britain. I noticed that a significantly large number of people I trade with have African names. Then something happened: someone sent me money from an account in a British woman's name (the Binance account also had the same name). My payments company contacted me about it, and after very, very long conversations, I was able to find out that he was a Nigerian scammer. And I was able to find out that many Nigerians defraud British women by 'online dating' them and then asking for money, which they transfer to themselves using Binance P2P. (I also got my payments company account banned, which I was able to get unbanned after a lot of effort). I had already noticed that these people can't speak proper English. Some of these people who couldn't speak proper English had Sri Lankan names too, and some other ethnicities. The problem is, after very long conversations with the scammer, I found out that these people actually live in Britain, and they have British bank accounts.

I want to keep making money with the legitimate trades, but I want to filter out the scammers. I tried out a (spectacularly bad) idea. I made a condition that I will only trade with people with names that are 'ethnically British'. That was just so hard to phrase, because you know Britain is multiethnic. And then what happened was what I was apprehensive of: I ended up sounding like a racist. One person with a Hindu name pretty awkwardly had to have conversation with me in which I asked him to prove his English skills. And only then I dealt with him. Another person (ethnically English) treated me the way I should have been treated with those terms: like an ignorant racist (I asked him to prove his English skills too).

Anyways, here I am. I want to keep making money by trading on Binance P2P. And I don't want to be part of any scam, don't want to make money unethically even if I never get caught and never have to suffer any worldy consequences for it. And I have no idea how to filter out the scammers. Since the scammers are actually in Britain, can't check British IDs. Can't ask for only 'ethnically English' names because that makes me sound like an ignorant racist. No way to check English

I've noticed a trend in discussions around Israel / Palestine ... and it's that a lot of folks are using new terminology but retaining old meanings, and the upshot is a lot of circular conversations.

The reason for the new terminology is because the old terminology sounds ... well, it sounds racist. So people aren't using the same words, but a lot of the time they still mean the same meaning ... which doesn't match with what the new words actually mean.

This becomes a particular problem for folks who might not be native English speakers, and haven't had the opportunity to see the evolution of these terms over time. What prompted me to bring this topic up was a comment I saw saying that Palestinians were 'ethnic Arabs' because they're genetically descended from Arabian invaders. Now, this is bad on a couple of fronts ... it's bad history (and I recommend checking out my two relevant history posts (Part I is here, and Part II is here) ... but it also betrays a misunderstanding of what the word 'ethnicity' actually means.

So I'm going to focus on a level set here, and I'm interested in whether the definitions I'll offer below line up with the way each of you has been using these terms, and what areas of this conversation you feel may be muddier or cleaner if we use them correctly.

The terms I'm going to talk about are Ancestry, Race, Community, Culture, Nationality, Ethnicity, and Citizenship.

These terms have evolved over time to refer to some very broad concepts, which have overlapped and shifted in our collective consciousness over time -- they're confusing. But they all mean different things, and remembering that is probably useful.

Ancestry and Race

Ancestry is a straightforward, consistent concept. It refers to who a person is descended from; more shared ancestry means a closer genetic relationship. When people talk about being 'genetically' something or another, that something or another should be limited to their ancestry. It's correlated to a person's appearance, and often correlated to a person's culture or ethnic identity ... but it doesn't have to be.

When we say someone is 'descended from Canaanites', we mean that the people living in the Levant 3,000 years

There certainly a myth, myth circulates around the internet that in general assumption, Vietnam is always regarded as a highly centralized Sinic bureaucratic state, a member of Sinic world, and conquered by France, but how it really was? Neglected.

A very least people who already learned from whatifalthist's videos on China and the 'Sinic World', that interchangeably Vietnam and Korea always are included in his interpretation and understanding. This reddit post is to explain why Vietnam-which barely understood.

All we look at Vietnam's chronology, we would find a certain name: Minh Mang, reigned from 1820-1841, a hardcore Confucian-minded king who was greatly inspired by ancient "conquer and assimilate" and classical stories, and especially an admirer/fan of Chinese culture. The empire he ruled created by his father Gia Long and several accomplished generals, was the incorporation of many Vietnamese states, regimes and non-vietnamese polities, a multilinguistic, multicultural, multiethnic empire of Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Confucians..., basically a melting pot, after several centuries of divided, fragmentation, regionalism and civil wars. Vietnam today is still not complete homogeneous society like in Japan and Korea, the heartland of Northern China. Similar to pre-Mongkut Thailand, the map shows how "centralized" of Vietnam was in 1830s. Gia Long, a Confucian through, was moderate, and quite keen on Confucianism, kept it only within the court. But Minh Mang was not, he's also an absolutist. He wanted to adopt, examine the Confucian model of China and Korea on country-wide Vietnam-maximum centralization and assimilation. And the progress definitively wasn't peaceful, but violently, even genocidal, on groups such as the Khmer Thevaradas and the Cham Muslims, btw at least two hundred rebellions occurred during his reign. Because most of the population, especially the peasantry, ordinary and minorities were not happy (frustrated) with his single-handed attempt to convert his country from Southeast Asian one to a Confucian Sinic society.^((Alexander Woodside-Vietnam and the Chinese model)) That's why today Confucianism are still highly venerated in China, Taiwan, and Korea, some extents in Japan, but BARELY to NOTHING known in Vietnam, generally speaking we are all talking about the war, and it gives me some surprising thing when whatifalthist includes Vietnam and Korea to the Sinic world (outside the Vietnam war context). There are two

EDIT: For the record, large parts of this are also applicable to the canon timeline, the only real difference is that America's technological advance is slightly slower in the canon timeline and the US doesn't have weird aberrant technology.

Following the destruction of the Midwest in the 4th World War, the United States had a large refugee problem from Midwestern refugees fleeing to the east. With most of the Western interior under occupation, the refugee situation overwhelming both the South and the Eastern population centers, the government decided the best course of action available was to send these refugees into orbit in temporary orbital space stations. They were sent up with supplies and basic infrastructure, as the United States already had plenty of experience building extraterrestrial infrastructure before in the forms of their space factories, just on a much grander scale.

Some 10 million people were flown up to the orbitals in mass exodus launches, making heavy use of space elevators while doing so. (The idea of a skyhook was flown around but given by its nature it would likely intersect over Eurasian or otherwise hostile enemy territory, it was deemed too risky.) Other colonists settled in Europe, as the immigration flow from Europe to America reversed, and in Africa, where the Midwest planted the roots for a large scale American diaspora in the city of Lagos.

The people displaced by this event were nicknamed “Orbiters”, and they, with the help of automated drones made to help carry out infrastructure repair began to reshape these refugee camps into a new city above the sky. By the time the war was over, to the surprise of the American government, few of those who went up wanted to come back down. They named their cities after the cities which each orbital is largely a diaspora of. Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, the list goes on.

Migration from the East Coast, mostly Polish, French and Russian immigrants who had come to America running from persecution, filled in the hole left in the Midwest. The states now being roughly half and half of new immigrants and native settlers in terms of population. Little did they know, what started off as a bit of a curiosity and a last ditch effort to secure their population would eventually open Pandora’s Box.

At first, no one seemed to take much care of America’s newfound discoveries in space. The colonies were expensive and didn’t make too much money even with the tax revenue included. The African Federa

Do your worst!

NAME: Empire of Tralsytia; Tralsytian Empire; Tralsytia

FLAG/SYMBOL: lmao I can't draw for shit

LOCATION: https://imgur.com/a/BvYVfSU

GEOGRAPHY: Tralsytia consists of roughly four major geographic regions: the eastern mountains, the northern cold desert, the coasts and islands, and the southern forested highlands. The northern desert is very sparsely populated, with towns built around deposits of natural resources or geothermal plants being the only notable civilization. The mountains have substantial cavern systems, which were the birthplace of the tucha and continue to have significant tucha cities. The coasts and southern forests are the most heavily populated, most urbanized, and most economically important regions. Several large hydroelectric dams dot the main river in the southern forest.

BIOLOGY/ETHNICITY: While there significant populations humans, uroks, and other common people in Tralsytia, in particular in the cities of the southern highlands and the western islands, it's the tucha that are most populous sapient species in Tralsytia, and the one that's generally considered most iconically Tralsytian. The tucha are a gaunt, humanoid people with batlike characteristic: most notably retractable patagia under each arm, which can enable them to fly and glide as bats do. The tucha generally have lighter and thinner bones and less muscle mass than other humanoids, as a heavier structure would make flight impossible. They have extremely efficient respiratory and circulatory systems to cope with life at higher altitudes and the energy demands of flight. Like many species of bat they have excellent vision in low and dim light but poor vision in bright light, and can echolocate. The tucha are naturally nocturnal, although they can adapt to live diurnally as most humanoids do. They live about as long as humans and are similar to them in psychology and mental faculties.

HISTORY: Until about 80 years ago Tralsytia was a fairly decentralized feudal monarchy, with strong dukes and counts essentially running their fiefdoms as near-independent states. The monarchy, while having fairly little actual power, had significant political importance as a legitimizing factor for the rule of the aristocracy, who in constitutional theory all received their powers and territories from the monarch. While most of the nobility used their positions primarily to accrue wealth and power for themselves and their families, and living standards and civil

It really does, I swear!

June 1961

Regrettably, Afghanistan is a multiethnic, multilingual society. Historically, Afghan Persian (officially Dari since 1949) has served as the lingua franca of the country: if you were formally educated, you spoke Dari. So significant was Dari's stranglehold on educated society that the royal family--Pashtun by ancestry--spoke Dari better than they spoke Pashto.

The accession of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa marked a distinct shift in Afghan language politics. Though Dari had been used as the courtly and administrative language in India for centuries, the British had all but eliminated its use by the turn of the 20th century, replacing it with English. The accession of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa meant that, for the first time ever, there were Afghan cultural and political elites who didn't speak a word of Dari.

The decade since unification has seen few substantive changes made to address this. By and large, Afghan Pakhtunkhwa still teaches its students in Dari (or a foreign language, if you're wealthy enough), while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa still teaches its students in Pashto (or English, if you're wealthy enough). As the government starts to consolidate and standardize the education system in the Kingdom, this has proved to be extremely frustrating. Thus, the Ministry of Education, with the support of the Prime Minister, has announced a series of reforms to standardize the languages of instruction throughout the various levels of education in Afghanistan, with the goal of creating a more broadly multilingual society that values both Pashto and Dari.

###Compulsory Education

Primary School and Orientation Stage - Ages 6-12 - Grades 1-7

Primary school is the foundational piece of the Afghan education system, and must serve the role of imparting the national languages to Afghanistan's youth. Primary school will be divided into three different “language models” depending on where in the country the school is.

The first model will be used in areas with a clear Pashto or Dari majority. Here, the language of instruction shall be the local language (e.g. Pashtun areas will use Pashto, Dari-speaking areas will use Dari), but from day one the other national language shall be taught as a core subject. The goal is to achieve functional fluency in both languages by the end of the Kingdom's compulsory education in Grade 7, so that even if the student never spends another day in school in their life, they will be able to communicate in both Dari and Pash
