The 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries have been marked by competing political ideologies. These ideologies help us explain and evaluate current political events and offer blueprints for the future, motivating followers along the way. This class will examine major political ideologies of the recent past and present—Anarchism, Marxism and Socialism, Liberalism, Conservatism, and Fascism—with the goal of understanding the fundamental ideas and principles of each, explained objectively and on their own terms.
