New Year? We Need A Whole New World
Late in 2024 a board memberof an American health insurance company was murdered by an American privilegedclass member who instantly became a semi-folk hero for taking direct actionagainst one of many despised aspects of a private profit political economywhich in the case of health insurance kills, maims and consigns to misery manywho cannot afford to pay their rates. On the very first day of 2025 an Americanof less privilege murdered 14 innocent people just out celebrating andinnocently becoming victims of the same system that got the health insuranceexecutive killed though there was much less sympathy for the military veteranguilty of the crime because his murder of innocents was the result at least inpart of hatred for America’s long assault in defense of Israel but directedagainst not only Palestinians, in the most murderous sense, but all the peopleof the middle east who are reduced to “terrorists” because unlike the U.S,Israel and other western powers, their retaliatory violence is taken by peopleusually not wearing uniforms and working for a murderous group acting asarmies, navies and other titled members of western, usually American murder brigades.
Whatever the class backgroundof the American assailants they were both taking personal actions againstindividuals for the actions of a political economic system taking more livesand destroying more of nature every second of every minute of every day. Withmassive profits accumulating faster than ever for a smaller and smaller groupof humanity and in ever greater amounts so that while these enormous profitssustained by attacks on humanity and other parts of nature innocent people aremanipulated by anti-social media thought control into believing individualvillains are responsible, whether fantastically wealthy people like the healthinsurance board member or ordinary folks just out celebrating a new yearbeginning and innocently losing their lives in the process.
This as a new regime wasabout to be sworn in with many thinking the new corporate CEO, or president, isdifferent from others because this time a human practing artificialintelligence will be taking office. Just as in the case of previouspresidential murderers credited with being very bright people or murderous nuts,depending on which anti-social media channel is being watched, while thepresident has far more responsibility in allegedly running the collapsing messof American and global capitalism he she or it is no more responsible for the systemthan the December or January murderers. It started, long before any of us wereborn and if we don’t stop it soon we may all go the way of those victims.
As for our alleged democracy,in the just completed as in mostly every election in history the non-votesoutnumbered either those for winner Trump or loser Harris. This quote from someone alleged to be amongthe brightest people in history sums it up:
‘”…What we see at work is notan expression of the sentiments of the American people; rather it reflects thewill of a powerful minority which uses its economic power to control the organsof political life
Albert Einstein
Einstein on peace pg. 343
And perhaps most clearly thispart of a song lyric by the Rolling Stones from back in the 60s:
“spare a thought for the stayat home voter
whose eyes perceive such astrange beauty show
a parade of grey suitedgrafters
a choice of cancer or polio”
The British songwriters clearlysaw the spectacle from a different class perspective but were clearly commentingon the same murderous farce.
Calling the multi billiondollar marketing exercise in voting that supposedly runs the country “our”democracywould be like the domestic slaves of our bigoted history citing their forcedservitude as clear evidence of their ownership of the plantation. After all,they lived at a much higher material standard than the field slaves who pickedthe cotton and suffered the worst physical abuse. The domestics were stillslaves but suffered mentally far more than physically and like tens of millionsof middle class Americans now who buy into the psych market to find personalpeace, they could be assured that their own shortcomings, not a bestial systemof slavery, was responsible for their problems. That, while fully knowing thatmost of them were the sons and daughters of the slave master and mistress whoowned them for sexual favors as well as market profits from the cotton theypicked, meals they served and countless other favors they performed for theirowners.
Now we have mass murdering demublicanscalling for republicrat Trump to be imprisoned for business swindles and othercommon market crimes which are the foundation of most financial wealth accruingto a tiny minority while a vast majority pays for destroying life and othernature while being lied to by news and lulled by market forces. The veteran killer of new years day was anexample of the most extreme outcomes of training people to kill, against mosthuman impulse or wishes, leading to far more crimes less horrible than his butequally the outcome of degenerate teaching of anti-humanity to human beingstaught to believe it is supposed to be normal if not heroic to murder people. Thesituation grows more dangerous for humanity and not just the imperial westcurrently falling apart under the fading control of America due to the imperialmilitary power of a mass murder machine more dangerous than ever before. Infact, many who claim expertise in knowledge of nuclear capabilities claim thedanger of a nuclear holocaust is greater than ever before.
Meanwhile, innocent millionsblame other innocent millions for the horror threatened by a tiny percent ofhumanity: the ruling class powers of international capitalism, head quarteredmostly in The U.S.A.
The world is changing rapidlyand a new global order is being born among the majority of humans on the planetwho are learning to work together to bring about a truly new world no longerunder the murderous domination of any imperial power, As citizen consumers whosustain that power we have the greatest responsibility to join the human race –the one and only race despite fictionally created alleged “racial” differencesamong us – and join the majority in creating a democratic global populationbefore our tiny minority destroys all of us. Capitalist private profits forsome need to come after, long after the assurance of public good for all. Happy2025?
