  What if the state as we know it didn't exist? Our air would be poisonous, our votes uncounted, and our markets dysfunctional. Yet across the world, in countries as diverse as Hungary, Israel, the UK, and the US, attacks on the modern state and its workforce are intensifying. They are morphing into power grabs by self-aggrandizing politicians who attempt to seize control of the state for themselves and their cronies. What replaces the modern state once it is fatally undermined is not the free market and the flowering of personal liberty. Instead, the death of government agencies organized under the rule of law inevitably leads to the only realistic alternative: the rule of men. 
   
   
   
  In The Assault on the State, political scientists Stephen Hanson and Jeffrey Kopstein offer an impassioned plea to defend modern government against those who seek to destroy it. They dissect the attack on the machinery of government from its origins in post-Soviet Russia to the core powers of Western democracy. The dangers of state erosion imperil every aspect of our lives. Hanson and Kopstein outline a strategy that can reverse this destructive trend before humanity is plunged back into the pathological personalistic politics of premodern times.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  A covert Ukrainian operation cripples Russia’s strategic lifeline through the Baltic Sea in the near future, triggering a chain reaction that neither side can fully control. As Russia and NATO scramble to contain the fallout and control the damage, the incident ignites a shadow war of espionage and brinkmanship, threatening to push the Baltic region over the edge. Misread signals, deniable actions, and fractured communication turn a calculated strike into a test of resolve with no clear off-ramp. 
  Behind closed doors, alliances fracture, deniability erodes, and political betrayal becomes as dangerous as open combat. As covert operatives, diplomats, and naval commanders race to shape the outcome, the line between covert action and open warfare begins to vanish. Leaders are driven toward riskier decisions, even as the cost of escalation becomes impossible to ignore, and field operatives pursue military adventurism to right historic wrongs and re-shape the balance of power. This near-future geopolitical thriller explores how a single operation in the Baltic Sea could draw Ukraine, Russia, and NATO into a confrontation with global consequences.

  Primordial American Terrorists is a new interpretation of events leading to the end of legalized slavery in the United States. Along the way, it reveals the duality of the terrorist persona, a profile the author pioneered in his earlier book, Sofia Perovskaya, Terrorist Princess. It tells the story, not only of terrorists who struck savagely out of intense passion for a cause, but also of their direct comparison with equally passionate men and women who dedicated themselves to social justice through advocacy and other non-violent methods.

  Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
   
   
   
  Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.

  Lenin - Responding to...

  Vladimir Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow's Red Square. History has not been kind to this Russian leader, his teachings reviled by modern mainstream politics. But in today's capitalist society, riven by class inequality and imperialist wars, perhaps it is worth returning to this communist icon's demand for "Peace, Land and Bread", and his radical understanding of democracy. 
   
   
   
  Lenin was wrestling with the question of "what is to be done?" when facing the catastrophes of his own time. Against the odds, the Bolshevik party succeeded in rejecting both the corrupt and decaying Romanov dynasty, as well as the capitalist economic system which had started to take root in Russia. 
   
   
   
  To understand how this happened, and what we can learn from him today, Paul Le Blanc takes us through Lenin's dynamic revolutionary thought, how he worked as part of a larger collective, and how he centered the labor movement in Russia and beyond, uncovering a powerful form of democracy that could transform our activism today.
