Capitalism is Democratic the Way Rape is Romance

 

“Whenever I see he/him or she/herI think fuck/you. You must be living an awfully precious life if, amidthe pervasive despair of an economy in free fall, your uppermost concern isclinging to your pronouns."

Norman Finkelstein

 

 

The present mental state ofthe American public is almost as bad as the ruling military idiocy which ispushing us closer to a nuclear confrontation as we conduct a proxy war against Russiausing Ukrainian lives while we supply the weapons. In the face of this and arecent United Nations report calling for more urgency than ever in dealing withthe environmental breakdown of nature under assault by capitalist marketmadness, Americans are under an attack on sanity more deadly than ever for notdealing with material circumstances but rather a set of alleged problems whichmake fairy tales sound like intellectually sound reports on material reality.

 

Herds of otherwise thoughtfulpeople are moved to become an intellectual lynch mob as consciousness controland mind management organizes a frenzy of demands to televise the Trump courtfiascos, suppress speech found painful by privileged folks totally protectedfrom physical pain, and other aspects of personality and character disordersamong a socially tortured people suffering political and economic deprivationunder the rule of morally depraved leadership whose power comes from amassingincredible wealth and having its political servant class accept  and teach that as democracy. Suppression ofthought and rape of language labels a market process as electoral choice and apolitical system threatening more people with less information than ever beforeis dubbed “our democracy”.

 

You know, the one in which JulianAssange is driven closer to death by hordes of former reporters who have becomestorm troopers in the army of propaganda purveyors who were once at least anoccasional source of fairly unbiased news reporting. As banking and financeshow signs of near collapse and most of the world moves further from dependenceon the American dollar that is fast becoming as sound as digital or counterfeitcurrency, and the murderous war budget continues to grow in killing Russians bysacrificing Ukrainians lives along with American dollars, an assortment ofallegedly life or death struggles over races other than human, genders otherthan male and female, and other themes and variations of fantasy fiction which actas  programmed mental blockades for thepublic, as we sink closer to mental and physical doom that threatens far morethan only our nation.

 

The breaking down of a globalsystem of imperialism shows itself in a variety of ways that remain invisible,unheard, unseen and never analyzed in the main stream of consciousness controland mind management that fading ruling powers are using in more desperatefashion than any previous assault on American mental health. The dailypoisoning of national capacity to think has become a raging epidemic to makethe corona virus seem almost simple by comparison, though it came from the samesource: capital private profit marketing under the guise of freedom anddemocracy that guarantees Americans the right to buy a weapon in order toprotect themselves from the most frightening creatures in the universe: other Americans.

 

 We are warned against fictional problems withChinese “spy” balloons and Chinese “spy” police while murdering one another,frequently in groups ranging from children and their teachers to shoppers at amall or worshippers at a proposed religious haven and spending hundreds ofbillions to menace and murder all over the world as a form of protection for whatpeople who make religious fanatics seem thoughtful call “our” democracy”.

 

This cherished fantasy takesplace in a population in which 8% are millionaires; multi-millionaires andbillionaires while the overwhelming 92% majority are manipulated when notphysically beaten into accepting such idiocy as “equality”.

 

The billions keep pouringinto the proxy war in the Ukraine which murders Russians who are alleged tohave invaded when the truth is their borders have been menaced by the U.S. andits Nato lap dogs since the end of the soviet union and communist rule whichsupposedly brought the world closer to peace. But not according to the rulingpowers of minority wealth which expanded its war profiteering and actually furthermenaced the future with nuclear war as the aggressive minority which rulesAmerica asserted its deadly control more fully by making a sick joke of wordslike democracy, freedom and equality, while destroying every step in thedirection nations took trying to achieve such things, most especially our own.

 

A population previouslyfrightened by profitable pro or anti trans fat diets has become enamored ofmore profitable trans gender relations, further alienating many while pleasingothers troubled by what may have once involved seeking counsel or joining achurch or drinking alcohol or taking drugs or all four and more. We are alreadyembroiled in a supposed democratic action which is to begin more than a yearinto the future when the two parties of capitalism will wage multi billiondollar marketing wars called a presidential election. At the present momentthere is no alternative voice beyond the Green party, which is at a severe disadvantagein a supposed capitalist democracy. It does not have billions of dollarsstashed with which to buy marketing time to see its program which calls forsystem change and not simply a cosmetic personnel change to reward one oranother nice guy-girl-man-woman-shim from an identity group otherthan-different from others in the creation of ever more alienation and divisionamong the people to strengthen our ruling minority and its front line servantdemublicans and republicrats.

 

Our savage divisions underfalse race idiocy in denial of the fact that we are all members of the one andonly human race have been joined by seemingly lesser but just as dangerousdivisions alleging more than the two sexes involved in human evolution. A surgeof separate but unequal identity groups has occurred as ruling power worksharder than ever to divide humanity and thus make majority action democracyimpossible. Unless disabled Polish American gay Jews of color are acknowledgedprogress is impossible and poor people can just drop dead on the streets untilalleged bi-racial trans-sexual-tri-species-quad brained humans take their placealongside Batman, Captain Marvel, fairy godmothers, Founding Fathers andenchanted animals.

 

Considering the fact that theoverwhelming 92% majority of us are carrying more than 31 trillion dollars inpublic debt, more than 16 billion in personal debt and have absolutely nochance under capitalist private profit political economics of seeing anythingbut further growth in that debt, we should move to at least share the pronoun “asshole”as at least one way of establishing our common membership in a class of humansreduced to mental slavery under the assault on our ability to think. But thereis hope, and not only from the rapid awakening in the rest of the world thatAmerica is not some biblical ruler of the universe but from the awarenessgrowing here despite all thought suppression that if we don’t do somethingabout it humanity and most especially America will suffer even more greatly.

 

Still, minority control ofour minds and worse our nuclear weapons and their desire and commitment todestroying Russia and China make it all the more important that struggles forone or another minority or one or another aspect of environmental destruction thatdo not confront capitalist private profit-public loss political economics asthe root cause of our problems will make them far more difficult if notimpossible to solve.

 

Making a profit by creatingelectric cars instead of gasoline-powered vehicles will benefit minoritycapital and some of its servants but we need to reduce the total environmentallydestructive control of life that the private automobile has become. Not onlydoes it pollute but private profit auto transit creates public loss by killingtens of thousands of us every year, while crippling even more along withfouling air and poisoning land. We need public transit that makes it possiblefor any of us to get anywhere in time for whatever we have to do and for it tobe safe enough to guarantee an end to the sheer butchery of the overwhelminglywasteful and murderous single occupant private auto transit system. And thatwill only be possible when we have democratic control of the economy throughpolitical democracy which is absolutely impossible under minority dominatedprivate profit- public loss capitalism.

 

Whether we achieve thatpeacefully or not will depend on shattering the steel curtain covering materialreality with a media strengthened view of reality that is a nightmare trendingtowards a disaster. We need to wake up from an induced slumber so that all ofus, whether pigeonholed by our rulers as left or right, can come together,transform reality before it destroys us, and salvage our world and our race asunified “influencers” of a democratic revolution. What’s been called a “woke”state of mind has become a joke but we do need to “wake” from the idiotictrance social mind control has put us under. And anyway, “woke” is past tense.We need to “wake” to reality in the present or there may not be a past tenseavailable to us, here or elsewhere.
