Filip Björner: The Hegelian virus in the United States
The dialectic materialism of Marx and Engels was based on the religious dialectic of Hegel. Marx and Engels developed their thinking and were at the same time criticizing young adepts of Hegelianism.

C G Holm: The language of Contra
Why Contra uses the term ”the Chinese virus” and not the term used in mainstream media. Why we don’t use the word nazism (instead national socialism) and why we write Kosova, Chornobyl and Lukashenka not Kosovo, Chernobyl and Lukashenko. And why we do not use the official translations of Gustavus V (1917) or Bible 2000 (2000) in quotes from the Bible.
Dan Ahlmark: Is our civilization and our country doomed?
The life cycle of empires have been analyzed during the centuries. General Glubb Pasha divided the life of an Empire into seven phases, the last three being: 5) The phase of intellect 6) The phase of Decadence and 7) The phase of Decline and collapse. But the development of militray empires are not necessarily relevant for the development of present national states. But there are similarities and you find a lot of Glubb Pasha’s phases 5 and 6 in present day Sweden.
