Tornado Alley (PROG)

Vexari, and all -- to be clear what I was referring to as the two 'core references', here they are, in full:

Philosophy of Right
G.W.F. Hegel
http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/hegel/right.pdf

Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
Karl Marx
http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1843/critique-hpr/index.htm

to which I will now add a more contemporary 'core reference', again, in full:

Negative Dialectics
Theodor Adorno
http://www.efn.org/~dredmond/ndtrans.html

the exercise here has nothing to do with attempting to argue or advance any elements of any positive ideology (that being where Hegel went into his ditch) -- to the contrary -- it's about how to think to actually understand the reality we create in all its ideology/precept-confounding particularity and complexity, and through that then to actually get to apprehending meaningfully its broader dimensions and dynamics -- it ain't easy work, and the work never ends as we (knowingly or not) continue to create, to 'reproduce', our reality every day -- but hey, life's tough and then we die -- the reality we create is what it is whether any of us gets any of it or not
