  Moral Anarchopathology (1/5):  The Octopus of Judas-like Opportunism and Betrayal upon the Shoulders of Political Practice Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Translation: ChatGPT Judas of Betrayal and Profit-Seeking The historical figure of “Judas,” as a symbol of betrayal and opportunism, is employed in this work to anatomize and analyze the pathological patterns of politics through the dual frameworks of political and moral anarchopathology. This approach aims to demonstrate how political practice, in the vast majority of cases, aligns with a “Judas-like” orientation. When politics becomes tainted by the logic of personal gain and opportunism, it loses its capacity for moral rebellion, the realization of justice, and the preservation of human dignity. In such circumstances, politicians, instead of resisting injustice and inequality, serve to reinforce domination and pursue individual or group interests. This pathological pattern is characterized by features introduced here as ...

  Linguistic Anarchopathology (4/5):  From the Poetics of Enchantment to the Clamor of Propaganda in the Language of Political Careerism Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Note: This English translation was prepared with the assistance of ChatGPT. From Poetic Enchantment to Sloganeering in the Pathology of Political Language 1.

Within the system of the Anarchopathology of Language, sloganization in political discourse refers to a condition in which messages, goals, and actions are expressed through short, clichéd, and superficial phrases that fail to reflect careful analysis, deep critique, or possibilities for practical action.

  Anarchopathology of Language (2/5): From the Poetics of Enchantment to the Clamor of Propaganda in the Language of Political Careerism Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Translated into English by ChatGPT Poeticization in Political Language: Power Represented in the Veil of Beauty 1. Definition and Nature of Poeticization Within the framework of the Anarchopathology of Language, poeticization in political discourse refers to a condition in which politics, rather than serving as a domain for rational analysis grounded in ethics, for action based on human dignity, and for critical social reflection, becomes entrapped and imprisoned within metaphors, poetic imagery, and literary excitements. Such a condition strips language of its fundamental functions: articulating reality, clarifying relations of power and their destructive consequences, and opening the space for critical dialogue. Consequently, politics is neither transformed into a tool for social change nor into a ground for th...
