Anarchism is a movement that opposes all forms of oppression in political, social, and economic ways. At this time it must be able to confront the complexity and inherent fragility of the system of power. The theory can be very compelling, but at times appear unrealistic. Therefore it must develop a means and methodology that is appealing unto itself.

 
The comparison between the French student protests in 2006 and the riots of French immigrant suburbs in 2005 demonstrate that both had grievances with the current economic model of France, but had different things at stake. The students protested because they did not want to be part of the precarious employment of neoliberal capitalism while the immigrants were already excluded from any employment opportunity. They were united by their need to stop the current trend in the society and economy that would make it easier to discard citizens as resources to be used by the capitalist system.

 
Bernard-Henri Levy has written about the American landscape from a European perspective. His observations about aspects of our country may appear strange but it demonstrates that our reflexive opinion of ourselves is not the absolute truth. Regardless of what we think of ourselves, there are other positions throughout the world that do matter and have relevance.

 
A comparison of Hegel and Levinas shows two different approaches to the other. Hegel believes that through the dialectic process everyone becomes part of a communal spirit that transcends differences. The other is incorporated with the self and everyone is for everyone else. Levinas believes that an openess to the other as complete difference is the start of an ethical system. The other must be recognized in order to find the good in all actions. What must be distinguished is that dealing with difference inside of a group prepares one in dealing with the other outside of the group.

 
Thomas Pynchon's second novel "The Crying Of Lot 49" can be considered an extension of his first novel "V". This is most clear in the idea of quests that have a meaningless aspect to it. In the second novel there is an attempt to uncover a vast conspiracy, which because of its hidden qualities can make the search have a hint of being absurd. Absurdity will subsequently permeate his following novels.

 
According to Fredric Jameson, there are five theses to actual Marxism in practice. Marxism will deal with structural changes in capitalism, offer an alternative discourse to the limits of capitalism, and enact revolution as a continual process. Marxism is also a modern phenomenon in that it can be equal to capitalism as a system without interference, and it can change as capitalism changes.

 
The antagonism between the power to act and the power over things in terms of the state reflects the antagonism between the destruction of existing ideas and the creation of new ones. Each act of creation following a destruction encompasses an expanded area of meaning and allows for constituent power to be subsumed by constituted power. The interplay of different applications of power is a struggle that occurs on both a material and ideal basis.

 
MySociety is a British organization that has created various websites that allow for increased civic participation by citizens such as being able to annotate party platforms and organize group volunteer efforts, as well as letting legislators know what issues were the reason for voter support. Hopefully in the future there will be websites that can be applied to the United States government and its representatives.
