A Complementary Chart from N.S. Lyons
The top half is a bit dense for me, but I found the idea of "Elite panic" as a trigger for their race to dystopia to be interesting. And from that line down, I get it.
Actually, the part that speaks to me starts at the line “Infantilization of the public” and “Elite contempt for democracy” and everything below it.
These emergencies are artificially created by the pathocracy, because they know their time is ending. It is their last stand. They have accelerated it because they know they are losing.
People think Stalin and Mao were following solutions from Marx but Marx didn’t really have solutions because he died before he could come up with them. He was good at diagnosing problems though.
As Marx describes:
"One capitalist always kills many. Hand in hand with this centralisation, or this expropriation of many capitalists by few, develop, on an ever-extending scale, the cooperative form of the labour process, the conscious technical application of science, the methodical cultivation of the soil, the transformation of the instruments of labour into instruments of labour only usable in common, the economising of all means of production by their use as means of production of combined, socialised labour, the entanglement of all peoples in the net of the world market, and with this, the international character of the capitalistic regime."
The "socialised labor" and "instruments of labor only usable in common" described by Marx perfectly describe the internet/world wide web, which is the latest and highest expression of this process.
He observes:
"Centralisation of the means of production and socialisation of labour at last reach a point where they become incompatible with their capitalist integument. This integument is burst asunder. The knell of capitalist private property sounds. The expropriators are expropriated."
So what has been happening with the capitalist meltdowns of 2001, 2008, and now is that this integument is bursting asunder. The captains of international finance capital have known since at least 1867 that such things happen on a regular basis. They know that these crises are getting worse because of the advanced nature of socialized labor. What they fear is that they as the expropriators will be expropriated. That's why they are literally eliminating workers and enslaving those remaining. They have done their best to hide themselves and their reasons, but things are becoming increasingly clear to people.
My opinion is that the perpetrators of this medical fraud and tyranny have known for generations that automation will make the vast majority idle, economically dependent, and looking for a way to change things, in other words, revolutionary.
They like us as sort of cute pets or farm animals, but revolution is an existential threat to them so they will do anything including perpetrate genocide to prevent it.
Things have come to a tipping point now with the internet and resulting financial chaos, so they know now this is their last chance at survival.
It is their emergency, not ours.
Good one, and it’s a monster. Could be a hit at the next cocktail party… On the fly I’d say the ‘you are here’ really depends on the individual’s perception of the world around them and the gap of awareness has been steadily widening. I’d definitely rearrange some of the boxes, such as the ‘State/Corporate Fusion’ seem to do better around the ‘Elite contempt for Democracy’. When we replace the term ‘Elite’ with ‘Parasites’, I think we get to drop some of the abstract socio-rethoric and acknowledge the predatory nature involved. You know, I think you may be onto something, Dr. Meryl. This abstract could be a gateway into locked normie minds. I’ll print some out :)) Thanks for all you do for us, just stellar, hugs, and the Best for 2024.
