Talk:The First Global Revolution

Article Creation
This article was just created. It is a stub. I'll expand upon the initial summary within a couple of days and remove some of the POV laden initial stub material that I took from the Club of Rome article. The work is controversial but we'll make the descriptions NPOV.Justanonymous (talk) 22:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Out of Context Criticism
The criticism section takes a sentence of text out of context. The snippet "Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose." is represented as a call to action to create an enemy to achieve a goal, but the full paragraph gives the context that this is historically how states have operated;

"The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor. States have striven to overcome domestic failure and internal contradictions by designating external enemies. The scapegoat practice is as old as mankind itself. When things become too difficult at home, divert attention by adventure abroad. Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose. With the disappearance of the traditional enemy, the temptation is to designate as scapegoat religious or ethnic minorities whose differences are disturbing."
