Shaping the world after the war- Cold War conflict and competition between the US and USSR





http://www.alternet.org/story/155998/democracy_in_the_workplace_spain%27s_mondragon_corporation_shows_us_an_alternative_to_capitalism



In pairs, examine documents, discuss and identify different economic, political, values, society types

Popularity of socialists and communists in Europe from resistance movements
Origins of the Cold War documents- Some historians argue that the Cold War began because of Soviet aggression followed by American containment policies. Other historians contend that it was the U.S. who were aggressive and the Soviets who reacted to protect their interests. What is your evaluation of these two positions considering the conditions for each country in the 1940s?
 
The reality in Greece and Turkey- “In Greece, which had been a right-wing monarchy and dictatorship before the war, a popular left-wing National Liberation Front (the EAM) was put down by a British army of intervention immediately after the war. A right-wing dictatorship was restored. When opponents of the regime were jailed, and trade union leaders removed, a left-wing guerrilla movement began to grow against the regime, soon consisting of 17,000 fighters, 50,000 active supporters, and perhaps 250,000 sympathizers, in a country of 7 million. Great Britain said it could not handle the rebellion, and asked the United States to come in. As a State Department officer said later: "Great Britain had within the hour handed the job of world leadership . . . to the United States."
The United States responded with the Truman Doctrine…” http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnpeopleswar.html
"It is essential to remember," Professor D.F. Fleming has pointed out in his eminent history of the cold war, "that Greece was the first of the liberated states to be openly and forcibly compelled to accept the political system of the occupying Great Power. It was Churchill who acted first and Stalin who followed his example, in Bulgaria and then in Rumania, though with less bloodshed."  https://archive.org/stream/pdfy-y_8iHigC3Ms5TngF/BLUM%20killing%20hope_djvu.txt
Memo PPS23 by George Kennan
Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction.
...
In the face of this situation we would be better off to dispense now with a number of the concepts which have underlined our thinking with regard to the Far East. We should dispense with the aspiration to "be liked" or to be regarded as the repository of a high-minded international altruism. We should stop putting ourselves in the position of being our brothers' keeper and refrain from offering moral and ideological advice. We should cease to talk about vague and—for the Far East—unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.

Constitution and ideal of equal opportunity vs. reality of white supremacy
Purpose of segregation and miscegenation? Who benefits from “white supremacy”?
De jure segregation is the separating groups by racial categories by law.
De facto segregation is the separating groups by racial categories in actual practice, not by law.
Prejudice is an attitude, a prejudging, usually in a negative way on the basis of their group membership.
Discrimination is the unfair treatment directed against someone based on a prejudicial belief.  
Racism is the institutional and cultural practices that promote the domination of one racial group over another. Racism is race prejudice plus power.
White supremacy is an historically based, institutionally perpetuated system of exploitation and oppression of continents, nations and peoples of color by white peoples and nations of the European continent; for the purpose of maintaining and defending a system of wealth, power and privilege. http://www.ywca.org/atf/cf/%7BAC4038C4-BCCA-4F24-B55C-F41063EDF6FE%7D/Racism%20-Definitions%20for%20Class%20.pdf
