Das utopisch eschatologische Denken ist im Kern zerstörerisch, weil es
sich auf Macht gründet

This goes for all kind of analytical philosophical and or art
manifestos.
-Presuming, you all know how to read German, the philosophers language
par excelence, besides Greek and Latin-
Apert from tightly connected with 'nous' as in 'mind', 'intellect',
manifestos expressing ideals, political polemics or otherwise will
ultimately fail in the 'Semantic Trap', cf. Kant and also my dear
compadre Vladimir Solovyov.
Apophatic philosopher from Czaristic Russia i.e. before Marx his star
rose but after Hegel succes as influential western thinker.
Also of importance is his interest in Baruch d'Espinoza as the most
important political thinker about pre-liberalism and contra
establisment activist during the Enlightment
So the failure of a one size fits it all doctrine is well grounded in
critical Western thinking, as all monotheistic sytems will sooner or
later dramatically fail.
Well worth to take note of his importance in this discussion
Feel free to Google him in your precious 'free' time.
Always interested in all kind of mental abberations, yours truly

I'd just like to say a belated word in defence of manifestos. I'm
quite
anti-manifesto personally, in the sense that I don't personally want
to
get involved with one, or can't think of one with which I would want
to
get involved; but I can see that they sometimes serve their purpose.
Radically new art sometimes has to create the critical framework from
which it should be judged, and manifestos can help with this. Being a
literary sort of person I'm thinking of things like the Imagist
manifesto, George Eliot's lengthy remarks about realism in
literature in
Scenes from Clerical Life (or was it Adam Bede?) and Wordsworth and
Coleridge's preface to The Lyrical Ballads, with its plea that poetry
should be written in "language really used by men" instead of the
highly-artificial diction favoured by the Augustans. Exciting ideas,
and
ideas which helped to alter the course of our literature.
