THE CONSERVATIVE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

Since mid - 20 C, so many philosophers and authors, such as L. Althusser, R. Barthes, and postmodernists, have raised a question against teleological--or modernistst, in terms of postmodernism--violence of homogeneity, and suggested that we should be freed from the dominance and oppression of it.

Contradiction, the Hegelian concept has been thought of as obliged to be flowed into a historically prearranged single solution. And it is realization of the single prearranged solution that has been regarded as the End of History, the well-known Hegelian concept.

This concept of the End of History and the Homogeneity presupposes a hierarchy of the solutions, which otherwise would occupy the equal position to be adopted in order to solve various social problems. It leads to a hierarchy of virtures and values in the world of justice, and a radicalism and a fundamentalism in the world of politics.

In orde to resist the radicalism or fundamentalism or fanaticism, and protect all various plural virtues and values in the realm of politics, I suggest that we should consider conservatism as an alternative ground to judge the problem of our society and transform it.

Additionally, Communism deserves to be considered in order to recover human species as a commune-being because brutal capitalism has destroyed the human community by following the private-interest only.

As a historical being and a social being, each of our whole community members including workers in capitalist society, women in masculine one, and other minorities in one dominated by powers has a right to be dealt with as our friend or family.

Capitalism, brutally pursuing its private interest only, has separated our HUMAN COMMUNITARIAN FAMILY into a being of struggle and arranged our HUMAN FRIENDLY-EQUAL FAMILY as a hierachical, discriminate one.

I believe we have dual fronts, one of which is to resist the radicalism or fundamentalism or fanaticism reserve plural values; the other of which is to protect our community against capitalism and logic of private-interest and reserve humanity; and both of which are to establish the equality of human beings and values.

This is the reason why I suggest a CONSERVATIVE COMMUNISM!
