One of the most promising (theoretically speaking) codes in Luhmann’s social system theory is inclusion//exclusion. Luhmann only assigns one side of the “form” (inclusion) to the political system and the other side functions in all the other sub-systems and also society itself.

But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right.

By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵

If you want to publish papers in your own language, look to Diamond OA - LSE Impact
Diamond OA publications contain more work in languages other than English, Johan Rooryck & Janne Pölönen argue for more national & international co-ordination.
