War on a Complete Axiological Desert

prokapitalizm.pl 6 days ago

The global war, which takes place in all scales simultaneously and which multiplys its fronts indefinitely – so that within 1 or 2 days, it houses events specified as an escalation drone attack in Central and east Europe, calculated by starvation in 1 mediate East country and a simultaneous unprecedented bomb attack on another mediate East country, and a racist killing in the execution of a knifefighter and following a political execution with firearms in the US – is not political or economical war, but spiritual.

In another words, it is simply a war of humanity against itself, testifying to her terminal spiritual illness, developing at an accelerated rate on the susceptible ground of a complete axiological desert. It is so a war which, by necessity, will be lost by all political parties, economical interest groups and domestics of the Heroes, and won by only individuals holding fast to the very end of Truth, the Way and Life, which has absolutely nothing to do with the rapidly passing and always more illusory "goods of this world."

It has never been otherwise – but it remains to be hoped that especially present this eternal fact becomes more apparent to all who have at least a minimum of good will with each day.

The common denominator of all highly dangerous superstitions is that in their fundamental assumptions they either degrade openly, or at least modestly restrict the essence of humanity, including its capabilities, objectives and aspirations.

For example, Scientistic superstitions underestimate the function of all human sources of cognition beyond the "material" reflection and experiment. The technocratic superstitions reverse the hierarchy of means and objectives, having a Gadgetic “efficiency” no substance what it is, thus becoming a trivial blind alley. The superstitions of Marxist cooperation as the driving force of social life replace “class struggle” or – in newer versions – “identical struggle”. The superstitions of “evolutionist” reduce the pursuit of the most valuable life – both individual and collective – of “survival instinct”, “gene transmission” and genre rivalry. Freudian superstitions bring the most intimate forms of human coexistence to unload accumulated sexual urges. The superstitions of the “postmodern” replace the selfless pursuit of nonsubjective fact with the intoxicating “life with their subjective truths”. Newage superstitions replace all serious spiritual practices with a syncretic pulp of feisty-therapeutic complacency. The AI superstitions blur the difference between an intelligent head and a complex computational machine. The superstitions of the "transhumanist" mamize visions of cybernetic Gollums as better human substitutes. And so on, and so on – the varieties of specified and akin paths could be exchanged for a long time.

Worse still, in a day of permanent, multifaceted information war in mass media these superstitions happen in a virtually unlimited number of combinations hidden in the form of pop culture and pseudoscientific slogans. In another words, almost all step of the way, present we can find revelations about, for example, “the teachings of happiness”, “the evolution of spirituality”, “the iron laws of geopolitics”, “the trade wars as class wars”, “the fresh era of humanity”, “free income through AI”, etc.

However, it turns out that in fact, it is very easy to avoid entangling yourself in the thickness of these warped and mutually complementary shamutcts. It is adequate to follow the reliable, regularly repeated in spirit question whether a given program proposal and the world's underlying imagination does not demean humanity understood as having reason, conscience, a sense of good taste and free will, by which these attributes are capable of learning the fact (not simply dipping in their own fantasies), doing good (not simply indulged in their own desires) and creating and contemplating beauty (not simply expressing their tastes). If it is concluded that, in a given case, there is even the least level of similarity, then a clear distance should be kept towards him, preferably recommending the same to his fellowman. And although specified an attitude is not a warrant of uncovering what is the exact other of the mentioned superstitions, it is surely a prerequisite for the intellectual, moral, aesthetic and spiritual self-awareness essential for all fruitful in this field of exploration.

A reasonably accurate slogan is that the communicative repeats itself first as a tragedy and then as a farce. This besides applies to the past of at least any ideas, specified as Marxism and Communism. Marxism in Marx's edition and Communism in Lenin's or Stalin's edition ended tragically. Meanwhile, Marxism and communism in the last edition (not only in the chronological sense, but also, as is seen more and more clearly, besides eschatologically) of the "star" of these ideologies, or any Żiżka, is simply a purely pure and completely deliberate jestness, in which everything can mean everything and lead to everything, as long as the final consequence of the Surrealistic Equilibristism thus carried out is simply a completely nebulae and semanticly infinite "revolution".

It is so no wonder that the only "intellectual ferment" that is presently able to trigger the ideology of Marxism and communism takes the form of silly pictorial mouthpieces in alleged social media. The same applies to alleged neo-marksism, the alias "cultural Marxism" from the flags of Gramsci, Marcus, Alinsky and Reich, and, in view of its "identity" aspect, it presently has much greater possible than classical Marxism to carry these mouthpieces to the organization area, sowing much more measurable confusion and much wider destruction.

This is notable, as it is precisely infecting the planet with the mentioned foolishness that seems to be the final, selfless destructive triumph of Marxism, communism and another ideologies from the aegis of the "permanent revolution". It is simply a triumph of so much expressive, as it imposes a speech even to seemingly opposing ideologies – and its vitality is besides seen in an increasingly jarmaric, tacky and cabotic character, tailored to the measurement of memes, tweets, and tictoons.

Thus, the only reliable form of “controvolution” seems to be, in akin circumstances, to invitation as many people of good will as possible to the “benedic” asylums in which concepts, phenomena, ideas and non-translatable works are stored into the language of clown populism and not represented in the form of neono-cacophonic caricatures. By creating these asylums and filling them with people who appreciate their key role, it remains to wait for the inevitable eating of their children besides by this, as it seems, the final mutation of the revolution—not tragic, but a farce, and thus incapable of harming all those whose shield is the unbreakable persistence with timeless decorum principles.
