Loose change knocking around in my top file cabinet. Shared not out of vanity but in the hope it may provide more useful intellectual ammo to activists.
“We’re seeing—via poisonous centuries-old myths and hypocritical propaganda—the moral implosion of a whole civilization, the most powerful that has ever existed, with all its dreadful consequences for humanity and the world. Capitalism—especially in its current hyperdeveloped form with an infrastructure of hundreds of thousands of professional liars in the advertising, p.r., political, and media sectors—is inherently a system based and utterly dependent on the Big Lie to subsist and thrive. Everything it does, it does with a dishonest eye to the market of secret gain, or outright theft. In pursuit of such narrow objectives—worthy of a sociopath, which all corporations are, by definition—it will lie shamelessly, engage in unending war, and conduct the most despicable operations with no fear or compunction about the implications for those outside the golden circle. True, older systems, based on utter, naked brutality and theft—richly deserved to be kicked into the cesspool, but capitalism, given its historical position, with now all earth systems in danger of imminent collapse, makes this disposal operation urgent.”

The capitalist structure is breaking up in smithereens all-over the Western world. In the US the experiment with a minority president appears to be coming to an end even though his policies are perfectly aligned to his predecessors. And the rappel a l’ordre (return to order) will come this November, which will cause more hardship for the deluded masses with better profits for those in command until the till will be exhausted. This may take a half century or more but at the edges of empire people are now dying and human progress threatens to impede the survival of nature: “What a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god….” Unless we act, we are like Hamlet caught in our own fantasies and lamed by indecision.
