This blog addresses the fatal flaw at the core of capitalism as a system of human psycho-socio-political-economic collective self-reproduction, a flaw which ultimately renders it a self-DIS-organizing, self-destroying system -- as is becoming increasingly evident. It also details the successor system to capitalism, the new system that represents the higher, positive way forward for humanity: Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY, or EQUITISM.

“Marxism-Leninism” is a Fraudulent Misnomer. Leninism is not Marxian. Leninism is anti-Marxian, and ‘ante-Marxian’. Leninism is [state-]capitalist.
“Marxism-Leninism” is a Fraudulent Misnomer. Leninism
is not Marxian.
Leninism is anti-Marxian, and ‘ante-Marxian’. Leninism
is [state-]capitalist.
Dear Readers,
Leninism is a bloody, ruling-class
ideology
-- an ideology
in Marx’s sense, and an object to be answered by withering critique in Marx’s
sense.
The Leninist ideology was used
by neo-Jacobin, putschist, [state-]capitalist parties to seize dictatorial
state power from ‘sub-capitalist’, crypto-feudal ruling classes, and/or from
weak, capitalist-imperialism-suppressed, comprador bourgeoisies, in the largest
‘proto-national’ territories of the global “semi-periphery” --
‘semi-peripheral’ to the geographical capitalist core of capitalist-imperialist
nation-states.
Its effect was to enrich the tiny
new, state-bureaucratic ruling classes of the resulting one-party state,
police-state, totalitarian, ‘proto-state-capitalist’ regimes, at the
expense of the vast majority of the rest of the populations of those
territories.
These new, state-bureaucratic
ruling classes employed state-terrorism to perpetrate a new channel of
original/primitive accumulation of state-owned industrial capital on the backs
of the thereby hyper-exploited peasantry and nascent wage-working class
majorities there.
These new, state-bureaucratic
ruling classes did so in order to construct national military-industrial
complexes designed to be sufficient to save the power of those new,
state-bureaucratic ruling classes from external overthrow by military invasions
from the capitalist geographical core, by order of the capitalist-imperialist
nation-states’ private-capitalist ruling classes. This ‘‘‘salvation’’’ of the new
state-bureaucratic ruling classes’ power to rule was intended to be via
deterring those private-capitalist ruling classes from military attacks upon
the state-bureaucratic ruling classes’ subjugated national territories.
This induction of
military-industrial-complex-forming “primitive accumulation” and
industrialization, by the capitalist core, in these semi-peripheral territories,
by threat of military overthrow of their new, bureaucratic ruling classes is
the key initial transmission mechanism by which the private-capitalist
world-market “law of value” also shaped these nascent, ‘proto-state-capitalist’
nation-states, at a time when their vast territories afforded them a degree of
autarkic potential, and a transiently-survivable relative isolation from
international trade.
These ‘proto-state-capitalist’ transients
were destined to bifurcate into one of two main more-sustainable trajectories.
Either new popular revolutions
therein would succeed in transitioning them to state-dominated, mixed
private-capitalist/state-capitalist, nominally-capitalist-democratic authoritarian
oligarchies, the democratic aspirations of their people thwarted by the
still-dominant power of the core, capitalist-imperialist nation-states.
Or, their initial, semi-autarkic
‘proto-state-capitalist’ formations, relatively isolated from world market
international trade, would give way, on the backs of failed internal popular
revolutions, to full-fledged state-capitalism, on the ‘national
super-corporation’ model, dependent upon success in international-commerce, and
tolerant of subordinated elements of private capitalism under the domination of
the sustained dictatorship of their Leninist state-bureaucratic ruling classes.
This is all prelude to, and
part and parcel of, the globalization of proletarianization -- the formation of
a world-wide working class, and the conversion of “hinterland”,
‘evolutely-«aufheben»-conserved’, archaic social formations into full-fledged,
hybrid, state/private capitalist nation-states, increasingly state-capitalism-leaning
-- ever-more-so with every amplitude-augmented “global great recession”.
This universalization of the
wage-labor-relation-of-production must precede the formation of a global
polity, and of a working class universal interest, that, alone, can potentiate a
global transition to a ‘trans-capitalist political-economic democracy’, to
‘global renaissance’, and to global human flourishing.

Seldon on Dialectics.
Dear Readers,
Karl Seldon recently
noted, to a group of new F.E.D. inductees, as follows --
“Dialectics is,
in part, a subjective belief in, and an expectation of future fulfillments of, the inductive hypothesis of the concrete ‘transcendability’ of all dualisms -- even of apparently
radical, irreconcilable dualisms.”

A Seminal Motif Mostly Still Missing from ‘‘‘The Modern Mentality’’’.
A Seminal Motif that is Mostly Still Missing from ‘‘‘The Modern Mentality’’’ as a Conscious Conceptual Resource.
Dear Reader,
There exists a key conceptual
insight and resource, one crucial for comprehending our world -- our universe, our cosmos -- even merely up to
the level already
latent in the
data of modern science, that the prevailing
-- capitalist --
«mentalité» still hides from itself.
That concept is that of what we
call ‘onto-dynamasis’, which is about the ‘dynamicity’ of the actual ontology
of our cosmos as a whole.
Ontology is dynamical, and, for
the most part, cumulatively growing. Our cosmos is continually
adding new “kinds” -- new, previously unprecedented
categories of “being”, or, better, of “becoming”, of ‘‘‘eventity’’’ -- to itself.
The ontological content
referenced and
represented by old,
existing, already cognized ontological categories continually interacts, and, crucially, also self-interacts,
in ways that continually irrupt
new ontological content -- content, at first not yet cognized, that needs to be referenced and represented by new, previously-unprecedented
names and categories.
Our cosmos is a veritable cornucopia of the
continual genesis of new ontology. It is and always
has been an engine of neo-ontological creativity.
That ‘onto-dynamical’ creativity applies also
to we humans as part of that cosmos. And the ontological creativity of the human part of Nature includes a new ‘onto-dynamical’
dimension, that of ‘ideo-onto-dynamasis’,
as well as new kinds within the old dimension of ‘physio-onto-dynamasis’,
or of ‘«physis»-onto-dynamasis’,
and also
includes, especially, those parts of the human [sub-]creation that exhibit the
correlated co-creation of new
‘ideo-ontology’
together with new ‘physio-ontology’. Example: the money ‘‘‘meme’’’ within the
human Phenome, correlated with coin objects.
This view of ontology is 'ontologically pluralistic' with temporally-increasing ontological plurality, in opposition to 'ontologically reductionist' monisms, dualisms, 'triadisms', etc., but is also 'meta-genealogical', or 'lineage-ic', tracing back to original, singular, 'ultimate ancestor' ontological categories, or ultimate arche' categories, for the cosmos as a whole -- the universe as ultimate totality -- and for each of the Domains which constitute its 'sub-totalities', or 'sub-universes'.
This view of ontology is 'ontologically pluralistic' with temporally-increasing ontological plurality, in opposition to 'ontologically reductionist' monisms, dualisms, 'triadisms', etc., but is also 'meta-genealogical', or 'lineage-ic', tracing back to original, singular, 'ultimate ancestor' ontological categories, or ultimate arche' categories, for the cosmos as a whole -- the universe as ultimate totality -- and for each of the Domains which constitute its 'sub-totalities', or 'sub-universes'.
However, when it comes to ‘quanto-dynamics’, that kind of dynamical paradigm pervades
the modern worldview.
In its elaborated expressions,
this pervasion includes the state-space representation of “evolution”, in which
a coordinates-point, representing the total “state” of a given “dynamical
system”, moves in a “space” formed by a fixed
number of mutually-perpendicular dimensions and axes, each one representing and
measuring, quantitatively, a [qualitatively] different “vital sign”, or
“state-variable”, of that system, thus constituting the “coordinates” of that
system’s ‘state-point’ in its “state-space”.
The variation with time of the quantitative values of these “vital signs”
thus traces out a unified trajectory in that “space”. [“Total”-] differential equations, describing
the “law” of motion of the given system, can then be solved by well-known
methods [if those equations are “linear”, or sufficiently close to “linearity”],
yielding a solution-function that one can use to deterministically compute the
momentaneous state of that system for any moment, i.e., for any value of the “Real”-number time
parameter, “past”,
“present”, or “future”.
But such a state-space is a fixed space, with a fixed dimensionality, and a fixed spectrum of system qualities
or system attributes, represented by the state-variables and their axes. There is no provision for ‘qualo-dynamics’ -- for
‘onto-dynamasis’; for the emergence or irruption of new system ontology, with
its new system qualities, its new system attributes -- should the “evolution” of a given system
arise to the point of [ontological,
qualitative] revolution, or ‘‘‘meta-evolution’’’.
For example, if a system
evolves to a “singularity” -- e.g., if the solution-function computes, in
forward time starting from at a specific, finite value of the time parameter, a
state involving a division by zero -- there is no provision, in the
contemporary canon of state-space analysis, to compute a ‘change of space’ at
and after such a point of “singularity”, where the values of one or more of the
old state-variables/state-dimensions “explode” to “infinity”.
By a ‘change of “[state-]space”
’, we
mean the as-if irruption, as-if from the “origin” of that state-space, of one
or more new state-variable dimensions and axes, thus changing the
dimensionality of that state-space, and measuring the new, “emergent” or ‘irruptant’
qualities or attributes that are signified, however obliquely, by the very division
by zero that creates the “singularity”.
Nor is there provision, in the contemporary canon, for one or more of
the old state-variable dimensions and axes to as-if collapse back into that
“origin”; to wither away or undergo dissolution, nor for some former control
parameter space axes to become new state-variable, state-space axes, nor for
some former state-variable state-space axes to transfer to new axes in the also
thus changing control parameter space. The
Seldonian NQ_
arithmetic for dialectic is
axiomatically designed to facilitate its
users in conducting ‘onto-dynamical’
computations,
but, however, not at
the state-space/control-parameter-space, nonlinear differential total-equation level,
but at the much simpler, algebraic, ontological-categorial combinatorics level,
using a heuristic solution-algorithm.
Until the cosmological ubiquity of the ‘qualitative
dynamism’ of self-changing, self-expanding ontology -- and the ubiety and localization of the latter as the ‘“universal labor”’ of human Nature -- becomes more
widely grasped within the advancing ‘human Phenome’,
Terran humanity will go on not noticing key discoveries, and,
hence, key opportunities, that are already extant
in the data of
the modern sciences, but not yet cognized as such.

The Avengers Movie as a Psychohistorical Phenomenon in the Seldonian Sense
The Avengers Movie’s Hyper-Popularity as a Psychohistorical Phenomenon in the Seldonian Sense.
Dear Readers,
The global box-office surge for
the latest of the Marvel Comics movies -- “Avengers: Endgame” -- is,
without doubt, a ‘‘‘psychohistorical phenomenon’’’, in the Seldonian
sense: one that cries out for a
similarly ‘‘‘psychohistorical’’’ explanation.
The reviewers at the YouTube
“Wisecrack” channel argue that the resonance viewers feel with this concluding
sequel has to do with three paradigms of time -- of human history: of the
structure and content of human historical time -- with all of which the vast
viewing audience of this film feels comfortable. The following link will take you to that
YouTube review-video --
These three paradigms of
historical time are being played out, in this movie, and its many “prequels”,
per the “Wisecrack” reviewer, at the level of the life-story arcs of
individuals, of the individual personalities who constitute key characters in
this series: Captain America, Thor, and
Iron Man.
Per this review, Captain
America embodies a “fixed point” of unchanging, “eternal verities”; a quasi-Parmenidean
paradigm of time: certain ethical
principles, certain values, are unchangingly true for all times, e.g., Captain
America’s hostility to bullies of all
stripes.
The Thor story, on the
contrary, instances the kind of “cyclical time” paradigm common in ancient
mythologies in particular, and in the pre-modern mentality in general. Thor’s story is of an undulation of dizzying,
supernatural high points, followed by devastating low points, followed by
re-ascendance to the heights again, and so on..., albeit with a slight hint of “helical”
progression in that “circulation”, e.g., toward greater self-acceptance, in
that otherwise mostly circular, hence gainless, ride.
Iron Man’s story, contrary to
both the Thor story and the Captain America saga, per the reviewer, embodies
the modern, rectilinearly progressing, ever-improvement «mentalité» about temporality.
These three paradigm’s, we
find, are, indeed -- if perhaps unconsciously, or only semi-consciously --
known to, and ingredient in, the contemporary viewer psyche. But all three miss a far more realistic
paradigm about time, which we shall call, here, the ‘helical-vortical’ view of
time.
Per this, fourth, view,
short-term “cycles” are integrated together with a rectilinear progress of
continuing advances, each on unprecedented.
But there is also an ‘intra-duality’ to this progression, in which, to
advance in one dimension requires, for a time, a “progression” into adversity
in another, coupled dimension, until a ‘‘‘singularity’’’ irrupts, in which both
dimensions can finally advance together, the adversity healed.
At the level of our common
history, as humanity -- as the Terran human species -- there is no better
expositor of this paradigm than Karl Marx.
In his view, the progress of
the social forces of production -- of the ‘self-productivity’ and ‘Meta-Darwinian
self-reproductivity’ of
humanity -- is purchased, throughout the epochs which Marx calls the
‘‘‘prehistory’’’ of humanity, by an ever-deepening side-ways dive into growing
social alienation.
Beginning at a minimum of
social alienation, in “primitive communism”, within each tribal community [but not between them], this social
alienation waxes in phases, from “detribalization” and the cleavage of society
into opposing classes -- of slaveholders versus salves; of “lords” versus serfs,
etc. -- and in the form of the growth of “universal alienation”, at first as
“production for alienation” -- production of commodities for sale, and selling
[“alienation”] of commodities, at first, by petty producers -- and finally, in
the extremity of social alienation that is capitalist society, by “self-alienation”
-- ‘self-selling’; “universal prostitution”:
wage-labor -- and by the world of
estrangement -- the world
of strangers -- which results therefrom.
But Marx also predicts that
this social alienation dimension will not go on deepening forever.
At a certain point in the
growth of the social forces of production, social conditions will become ripe
for a return movement, back from the capitalist extremum of social alienation,
toward a new minimum of social alienation, i.e., toward a return of human
solidarity and community, but, this time, not only within small tribes, but on
a global scale: “socialized humanity”.
These Marxian, historical
observations, and predictions, instantiate a ‘helical-vortical’ paradigm of
time. The radius of the “circular”,
“cyclical” aspects of the structure and content of human history keeps widening
in its “sideways” dimensions, encompassing more and more, richer and richer
historical material, including the dimension of deepening social
alienation. But this widening spiral also rises vertically, including by
signifying the progress of the human social-reproductive forces. At a certain stage in this progression, the
social forces of production reach a maximum that coincides with a new, higher
minimum in the social alienation inherent in the new social relations of
production: higher communist society [by
which I most decidedly do not
mean Lenino-Stalinoid [proto-]state-capitalism],
starting with what we call ‘Equitarian Society’.
This ‘helical-vortical’
paradigm of history can also be observed -- if we grow “eyes that can see” --
at the individual scale, in our own personal histories, in the triumphs and
tragedies of our own social lives.

State-Capitalism is Still Capitalism.
State-Capitalism is Still Capitalism.
Dear Reader,
State-capitalism is still capitalism,
as Engels noted so well, in Anti-Duhring.
The “Socialism” against which
“conservatives” rail, is really just state-capitalism, the ultimate form into
which national ‘private” capitalisms, due to their immanent,
‘essence-ial’ dynamics, inevitably converge: the “end-state” of capitalism itself.
The utopian “Socialism”, the
snake-oil which ‘Lenino-Stalinoids’, and ‘Lenino-Trotskyoids’, ‘Lenino-Mao-oids’,
Castro-oids, Madero-oids, ILs, and Uns all try to sell you, is STILL CAPITALISM -- STATE-CAPITALISM, the worst-of-all
form of capitalism for the working class majority.
Real socialism, real communism,
is a grass-roots-driven political-economic democracy. It is a restored and extended political
democracy, via the restoration of political
checks-and-balances, against the wholesale prostitution of the
“representative-democratic” state by the overwhelming wealth-power and
money-power of hyper-concentrated capital ownership, by the potentially
non-violent, majoritarian institution of rule-of-law, constitutional economic
checks-and-balances. It’s antediluvian
seeding, still within capitalism, is via the emergence, within capitalism, of competing
worker-owned producers’ cooperatives -- ‘worker’s capital’; ‘workers’
capitalism’, as Marx noted so well in volume III of Capital.

The Nazi State was a ‘Rocke-Nazi’ State: Global Strategic Hypotheses.
The Nazi State was a ‘Rockefeller’ State: Global Strategic
Hypotheses.
Dear Reader,
The Nazi state was a Rockefeller state. The early, ultra-degenerate “Dr.
Strangeloves” of the Rockefeller, ‘capitalist anti-capitalist’, ‘human
anti-humanist’, “Eugenicist” faction of the geographical core capitalist ruling
class, funded and promoted a plethora of “fascist” state-capitalist, genocidal
totalitarian dictatorships across Europe and Asia, including Salazar in
Portugal, Franco in Spain, Mussolini in Italy, and, of course, Hitler in
Germany. These were ‘servant
dictatorships’ -- servants to the Rockefeller faction, mass-murderous,
terrorist, ultra-vicious police-state dictatorships to their own people.
The Hitler
‘servant-dictatorship’, in particular, was funded and serviced, for the
Rockefeller faction, by the Brown and Harriman Investment back, in acts which
were later indicted under the World War II “Trading with the Enemy” Act. The person in charge of this Hitler Regime
promotion: none other than Prescott
Bush, the founder of the Bush Crime Family, as a lower-plutocracy servant
family to the Rockefeller faction.
The Rockefeller Faction also provided
the early drafts for the Hitler Regime’s infamous “Eugenics” plans -- “Generalplan
East” and “Operation Barbarossa” -- the plans to conquer, enslave, and then
exterminate the peoples of Eastern Europe and greater Russia.
The Rockefeller faction, and
its subordinate factions in the U.K. “City of London”, etc., had long feared
the growing trend toward an alliance between Russia, with its vast labor and
natural resources, and its emerging industry and scientific-technological
capabilities, and Germany, with its already well-developed industrial,
scientific, and technological capabilities.
They feared that this potential German-Russian alliance would overthrow their global dominance, and thus also overthrow their plans for a global system of
“fascist” state-capitalist police-state dictatorships, of permanent global
economic [and psychological] depression, of permanent global war, and of
ongoing Malthusian “Eugenics” mass extermination of the human population. I.e., they feared that such an alliance would lead to their liquidation, and thus also destroy their ultra-sadistic plans to impose everything that George Orwell warned us about in
his novel, 1984.
This was their first, failed attempt.
[They are still trying, right now planning their ‘2.0’ implementation,
via ‘Global Warming Austerity’, but blocked, for the moment, by the recent
ascendancy of the ‘Trump Faction’].
They thus specifically ordered
their ‘servant-dictator’, Hitler, to attack East. Their plan was for Russian and Germany to
exhaust and destroy each other in a war of mutual extermination, eliminating
that threat of a German-Russian alliance.
When, in 1939, Hitler signed
his [totally insincere] “Peace” Pact with Stalin, and co-invaded Poland, the
Rockefeller Faction realized that their ‘servant dictator’ had turned on them
-- had become a ‘Franken-Dictator’ -- and was next planning to attack West,
targeting THEM. They realized that he
had decided that, after all of their funding and arranging for the rearmament
of Germany and the rebuilding of its war machine, that he didn’t need them anymore,
that he no longer needed to serve them, but could, indeed, overthrow them, and
take their former place in dominating the globe.
They had to quickly scrap their
plans to overthrow the Roosevelt presidency, and to allow the Roosevelt “New
Deal” reforms [which the Rockefellers have been trying to take back ever since
WWII ended], and to muster the U.S. working class to die horrific deaths by the
hundreds of thousands to save the Rockefellers from their own Frankenstein
Monster, the Nazi Monster that they had crucially enabled, funded, and promoted
to the point that this Monster became a mortal threat to all of humanity.
German Nazism was
overthrown. Hitler was defeated. Fascist state-capitalism -- but not Stalinist
state-capitalism -- was critically weakened.
The Rockefellers had to stop openly promoting “Eugenics”, and move on to
disguised latter-day forms of it, such as their “People Are Pollution”
Environmentalism.
However, the most tragic aspect
of the outcome of WWII is that the Rockefeller faction -- the Eugenicist
Mega-Monsters who drafted “GeneralPlan Ost” and “Operation Barbarossa”, and who
imposed upon the world the deaths in agony of millions through their funding
and promotion of “Eugenics” and of fascism worldwide -- were left unprosecuted, unpunished, still in power.
After their extermination of the leadership
of their rival, Roosevelt Faction -- murdering, in short order, John Kennedy,
Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King [and, later, John Kennedy Jr., once he
began to pose a political threat] -- as well as the later demise of their Russian Stalinist rival for global dictatorship, in 1989, the Rockefeller Faction left itself in
unrivalled power, to preside over the hollowing out of the American working
class, and of American democracy, until they were within a stone’s through of
implementing their planned global humanocide “2.0” -- when their plans were suddenly and unexpectedly
blocked, at least temporarily, by the working-class-backed ascendancy of the
Trump Faction of the capitalist class, which has sought to electorally, policy-wise, and otherwise ally with the U. S.
working class against the Rockefeller Faction.
Ever since, the
Rockefeller-controlled mass media have vilified Trump for each of his breaths,
for every single inhalation, and for every single exhalation.
But all of their incessant
attempts at the character assassination of Trump have so far failed.
