Political Power, Ideology and Society

My general approach towards this blog will be writing down short and comprehensible (hopefully both) notes and publishing them, each note aiming at exposing how certain mechanisms within modern societies work, hoping to achieve a common understanding amongst the readers about the definitions of political power, ideology, the State etc. through the help of some of the thinkers that has had strong influences on myself.

I would than like to use these points of reference to try and analyze modern societies, politics and ideology, all the while emphasizing on the many conflicts we encounter as people in our every day lives. Although I am as sceptical as anyone could be as to whether these little notes and ideas would bring any clarity to anyone, I see no harm in trying.

This introductory note’s purpose is to let the reader know that I do not in any way, claim to be neither objective nor academic. These little notes are not to be confused with proper articles, as no references are made and the goal of achieving undisputable facts is not sought. Because of this, feel free to contribute by both making new arguments that support mine or ones that conflict mine to bring up new discussions.

Regards,
Ali Gören
