Ne Plus Ultra - Episode 4: Ideological Eras

from Comrade Cast · host Spencer Downing

Welcome everyone to the fourth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Ideological Eras. In our second narrative episode, we explore how ideology came to play a prominent role in our society. As well, we ask the question if we can ever truly escape from a thirst for power and prestige as the main driving force for politics, to be replaced by a sense of what's just and moral? We briefly trace the history of ideology all the way from Ancient Rome, to Otto Von Bismarck, to our present day. Come and join me if you will, on a journey through the ideological eras. In the second segment of the podcast, we answer some fantastic questions about Donald Trump, Freedom of Speech, and talk about the rising tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran. It's another wild ride for the part of your brain that enjoys the finer things here on Ne Plus Ultra. Stay thinking my friends. -Spencer
