بروفيسور كارلتون كون
عرف كارلتون ستيفنز كون (1904-1981) كيفية استخدام قبضتيه. فعندما كان صبياً قام بضرب عين طفل آخر، كان من أوائل الكاثوليك الأيرلنديين الذين عاشوا في بلدته. وفي وقت لاحق، قام بطرد شخص ألباني من الشقة بينما كان يجري بحثاً أنثروبولوجياً في البلقان. وخلال الحرب العالمية الثانية، سارع بمساعدة ضابط فرنسي كان يهاجمه أحد سكان كورسيكا. في مناسبة أخرى ، قام بلكم رجل آخر بسبب تفسيراتهم المختلفة لحرب عام 1812. هذه الروح القتالية ساعدت كون أثناء مسيرته المهنية في مجال مثير للجدل للغاية: الدراسة الجسدية والثقافية الإنسانية.

Puisque le libéralisme, en tant qu’idéologie fondée sur les droits de l’individu, appelle à « la libération vis-à-vis de toutes les formes d’identité collective en général, [et est donc] entièrement incompatible avec l’ethnos et l’ethnocentrisme, et est l’expression d’un ethnocide théorique et technologique systématique », l’« ethnocentrisme » et l’affirmation positive de l’identité « ethnique » sont vues par Dugin comme une base potentielle pour la résistance au libéralisme.

Francis Fukuyama
The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2012
There’s so much meat in Francis Fukuyama’s The Origins of Political Order that someone could teach a college class on it, and someone should. It’s an expansive study of different political systems that attempts to develop a general theory of political development, and explain why different societies have formed different kinds of states — or none at all.
