| Sons of Chaka are more likely the Sons of Chaka Zulu, an African
hero, rather than Chaka Khan, a bodacious singer.

| It's "Khmer Rouge."
"New Council Men" might be (neo)Communists.
What book is this from?

| _The_City_Who_Fought_ by Anne McCaffrey and S. M. Stirling. It's
one of the brain-and-brawn stories.
"Khmer" instead of "Khymer". Okay. I knew the original was wrong.
(Did I get "Tamil" right?)
"Chaka Zulu" -- I knew that. I just went braindead again.

| I believe that both "Khmer" and "Khymer" are reasonable approximate
transliterations of the correct spelling. My keyboard doesn't
support the correct characters.

| New Council Men
Definitely neo-communists ("soviet" means "council").
Resurrected Aryan-Germanic Statewide Associationist Employees Party
I'd also say Neo-Nazis, but the interesting question is where the
elements other than "Aryan-Germanic" come in. Given that the Nazi
party was actually the "Nazionalsozialistische Arbeiterpartei
Deutschlands" (I think), i.e. the National-Socialist Workers' Party of
Germany, I'd guess that "Statewide" refers to "National",
"Associationist" refers to "Socialist", and "Employees" refers to
"Workers'".
Darwin-Wilson Society
This sounds like "survival of the fittest" (Darwin) combined with
"free enterprise" (Woodrow Wilson???), so my guess would be
Thatcherist or Reaganite. But that's just free association, and when
someone discovers the real reference I'll say, "Of course, why didn't
I think of that?".

| I bet that Wilson here is E.A. Wilson from Harvard, the
socio-biologist. I read a few articles of his along the
way, and if my memory sreves me correctly, he espouses the view that
human society is more like the society of say, an ant-colcony or a
bee-hive than we might like to beleive, and that our individual
behavior is heavily modulated by our social systems. With this
in mind, and admittedly stretching things, I propose that Darwin-Wilson
Party could translate to "Survivalist". However, even as I propose
this, I think it is wrong. However, I will bet that the Wilson
involved is E.A.

Isn't he a bug man?

| ... The Harvard bugman's name is E. O. Wilson. Partially recalled
because one of my elder daughters' roommates did her honors thesis
while sitting at his feet (one presumes, all six of 'em). :-)

| Ah, yes. I'm sure you're right. I had this fantasy of a bug man
waking up one morning with the insight that people are ants and then
changing his specialty immediately from entomology to socio-biology.
