From nationalism and socialism to liberalism, communism, fascism, and fundamentalism, Dr. Roy explains how these belief systems emerged, evolved, and shaped societies across centuries. Along the way, he examines the psychology of human decision-making, why emotions and fear drive politics, and how ideologies can both unite and divide. With historical examples from the French Revolution, Napoleon, World War I, and the Cold War, this talk sheds light on the dangers of extreme partisanship and the urgent need for humility, grace, and common ground in today’s political discourse. ~~~ 🔉 Dr. Roy Casagranda Podcast 🔉 Podcast Spotify ▶ https://open.spotify.com/show/6aebF9BEErbbiTLEHEyV6z Apple Podcast ▶ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-roy-casagranda-podcast/id1837193563 ~~~ 00:00:00 Introduction & Opening Remarks 00:00:14 Why All Ideologies Are "Dumb" 00:01:16 Conscious vs. Subconscious Mind 00:07:02 Origins of Modern Ideologies 00:09:40 Psychology of Voting & Voter Motivation 00:14:00 Rise of Nationalism & Napoleon 00:22:00 The Harsh Reality of Capitalism & Birth of Socialism 00:30:00 Defining Mercantilism, Capitalism & Socialism 00:33:30 Liberalism as Capitalism’s Defender 00:40:08 Socialism vs. Communism 00:44:00 Rules-Based vs. Case-by-Case Politics 00:54:45 Collapse of Ideological Debate & Rise of Fear Politics 00:59:00 Madison on Factions & Division 01:01:15 Fascism & Its Origins 01:05:12 Fundamentalism Explained 01:07:17 Grace, Humility & Overcoming Division 01:10:15 Closing Thoughts & Farewell #PoliticalHistory #ModernIdeologies #HistoryLecture ~~~ © Dr. Roy Casagranda – All Rights Reserved.
