🔴 THE WIDER CONTEXT

🔴 There's a tremendous struggle taking place between currently two sections (power blocs) of the ruling class, one currently represented by The Donald, and the other one up until recently symbolized by former President Sleepy Joe.

🔵 Sleepy Joe's side represents "Conventional" Imperialism, which is in essence a vast coalition of forces directed by US-based global Finance Capital, including that of the Trilateral Commission; plus the Western global Deep-state and its associated State-and-Corporate sponsored Terrorist operations; plus the Corporate "mainstream" (regime) Media engaged in brainwashing the population of the West via lies, propaganda, disinformation, and manipulation. A recent and very powerful addition to the power bloc is a blend or hybrid between Finance Capital and a special branch of Industrial Capital, ie. the Capital involved in the "Big Digital" world ("Big Data" corporations plus "Big Tech" {Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla}). All these are mutually dependent forms of Capital which can not exist without each other - and exert a tremendous power in the world.

This side has ruled over the US for the last several decades, at least since Gerald Ford and Carter's time (it had been on the ascending since the early 1900's). 

Since the year 2000 this power bloc has taken over several important ramparts or sections of the Left and of the US and global Liberation Movement. These are now being used to deliver the politics of Imperialism in "progressive", "liberal", fake-radical, fake-left wrapping, delivered with the appropriate "leftist" slogans. 

This power bloc's project for a New World Order /Globalization /Great Reset has forced the US Empire to stretch too thin and is now reaping severe military, financial and political defeats.

The constituent parts of this Conventional Imperialist bloc has NOT dissolved since Sleepy Joe lost the White House. It's already carrying out its counter-attack.

Associated with them is the Western European axis under the Anglo-Franco-German power bloc, who recently became politically "orphaned". They are now constituting themselves into a Coalition of the Willing (War Party of Europe), aiming to militarize Europe and drag us into war against Russia. Alongside that, those forces are already taking more and more authoritarian initiatives to curtail democracy and constitutional rights within the European Union, and to increase conflict with non-existent "enemies". 

This Europe-based axis, together with the US-based sections of the Conventional Imperialist power bloc, essentially constitute the main bulk of the almost global Western Empire.

🔵 The other Tower, Trump's, is trying to save US Imperialism from itself.

It's trying to save US Imperialism from the blatant military defeat it sufferred in its proxy war against Russia in the Ukraine; reduce its over-extension into the realm of trade deficit; increase US-based production; decrease Government spending and its loans; and "rationalize" (repackage, re-orient) its domestic and foreign policy so that the US can keep functioning as an Empire. 

In other words, this power bloc is attempting to utilize both old and new Imperial techniques in order to patch up an Empire that's crumbling due to the contradictions built into its own system of political economy which it can not contain; it exerts desperate efforts to delay the damage brought on by the ever-decreasing rate of profitability and the increasing rate of Capital's devaluation.

To this, it has relied on a popular base that's easily labelled as "right wing". But in a political climate where Conventional Imperialism is marketed as "the Left", what is the meaning of a "right wing"? 

It represents a section of the ruling class that's primarily composed of domestic US-based Manufacturing Capital, plus some import-export merchants, and domestic distribution chains. This power of section of Capital has been plunging for decades, because manufacturing efficiency is very high (and therefore profitability very low), and has led to many industries to run away to establish manufacturing in other countries. 

This power bloc's tactics to "save the Empire" include "Old Imperial" tactics such as trade tariffs (echoes of the "Nixon shock" [1]); more emphasis on the power of the State (echoes of late 19th century European Empires) in order to accomplish strikes against illegal immigration; strikes against the expression of internationalist and (truly) progressive solidarity such as with the Palestinians; and also "New Imperial" tactics such as total alignment with genocidal zionism (a continuation of Sleepy Joe's project of "bomb 'em all to hell"). Plus a number of steps which I would consider progressive (only because of the surrounding reactionary context). Such as:
o- Pulling the handbrake on certain activities of the Empire that were served under the guise of "progressive /leftist" (fake-left) slogans which enabled MEN WHO CLAIM TO BE WOMEN to enter women's toilets and to compete in women's sports, or get transferred from men's to women's prisons by issuing the magical phrase "I identify as a woman"; and have forced the medical profession to refer to women as "people with a uterus",
o- Reducing funding to universities and other institutions who instead of pursuing EDUCATION, LIBERATION, and EQUALITY for all, have installed a tyranny of pronouns, an official "language of mindfuck", and a mythology of fake numbers of sexes;
o- Reducing the dominance of the Carbon Dioxide demonization propaganda and (hopefully) returning to what Science really says about its value, ie, that Carbon Dioxide is a VALUABLE resource for the planet and that we need more of it [2];
o- Installing RFK Jr. at the Dept. of Health where hopefully he can give us a breathing spell from the domination of Big Pharma over lives; the enforcement of lethal vaccines on us and lies about them; or perhaps protect us from the next Hygienic Dictatorship or biological warfare attack that the Conventional Imperialist forces is preparing against humanity.

There's more, but I won't dwell on it.

🔵 Since the capture of some of the (former) Left's ramparts and entire sections of the Movement, the distinction between Left and Right make no sense any more. 
(On the global level of political discourse, these distinctions have become as ridiculous as "Right" and "Left" have been in Cyprus since the 1950's. Cyprus has been an advanced laboratory where the Western Empire has been testing and enforcing for decades many new actual technologies; marketing campaigns; and "social technologies" such as the "bail-in" rescue of the local banks by robbing people's savings; and inversion of the "Left /Right" designations on many important issues.)

But assuming the older designations of Left and Right have some meaning, the two power blocs might be seen more clearly through the eyes of deranged former members of those political wings.

Deranged Leftists, see the US Manufacturing Capital power bloc variously as "ultra right; nazi; fascist; dictatorical; anti-American; racist; misogynist; biased; stupid, anti-science", etc. At the crudest and most shallow, coarse level of discernment, they identify it with the Republican Party.

Deranged Leftists, see the Conventional Imperialist power bloc as "progressive; liberal; leftist; liberation-oriented; democratic; feminist; green; pro-labor; pro-peace", etc. At the crudest and most shallow, coarse level of discernment, they identify it with the Democratic Party.

Deranged Right-wingers, see the Manufacturing Imperialist power bloc as "righteous; christian; humanitarian; a vehicle for free speech; all-american; a shield from crime; a wall to stop immigrants", etc.

Deranged Right-wingers, see the Conventional Imperialist power bloc as "ultra-left; communist; radical left; sexually degenerate; dictatorial; globalist, a vehicle for the New World Order; a vehicle for the Great Reset; a cabal that is planning a new covidian-style dictatorship, enemies of Jesus", etc.

🔴 True liberals, progressives, Leftists, radicals and revolutionaries of all brands, including Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, Autonomists, radical Feminists, radical Greens, radical Sexual and Spiritual Liberationists have NO PLACE choosing sides in this conflict. 

Our aim must continue to be a total OVERTHROW the Western Empire, not just some section or faction of it, and to replace the entire system's power structures with a much better, people-oriented system of political economy founded on direct democracy; and on shared ownership and democratic control of all the means of production and natural resources, which are to be administered by people's councils at every level: neighborhood, town, city, state and country. 

The conflict between the Western Empire's factions must exploited to benefit the poor and the oppressed peoples of the world as much as possible, AND to build our Global Liberation Movement again with a true INDEPENDENCE and AUTONOMY from Conventional US Imperialism's loving and asphyxiating "liberal embrace".

"...To help others judge my qualifications to testify, I provide a little biographical information here. In the summer of 2014 I retired from teaching at Princeton University, where I have been on the faculty since 1980. I left the University from 1990 to 1993 to serve as the Director of Energy Research at the United States Department of Energy in Washington, DC, and I also served for one year from 2018 to 2019 as Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Emerging Technologies in the National Security Council of the White House. My DOE office supervised a research budget of some $3.5 billion, including environmental and climate science, along with physics, chemistry, biology, climate change and many other scientific areas. I have won a number of awards and I am an elected member of various scientific societies, including the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. I am a fellow of the American Physical Society. I have done research in nuclear physics, atomic, molecular and optical physics, atmospheric physics and other areas. I am probably best known for my invention of the “sodium guide star” concept, used in most modern ground-based telescopes to compensate for deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence on astronomical observations. I know more than most scientists about the details of Earth’s climate."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

What just happened? Did it "just" happen?

🟢 A Imperial Holy Alliance comprised of the US-based ruling class and the global deep state have just regained control of the White House. The world is bracing for new wars.

🟢 A racist, sexist, homophobic Populist movement represented and led by an independent billionaire failed to save the world, even though it held the White House for four years.

🟢 The morally and ideologically corrupt, organizationally failed and co-opted american Left knowingly sided with the Empire's Holy Alliance and became willingly assimilated into its machinery, claiming it was "fighting fascism".

🟢 The ultra-reactionary american right-wing that has gotten embedded within the Populist movement that just lost the White House, was used as a clever excuse ~ an alibi ~ for the Left to avoid joining the Populist movement and failing to help orient the mobilized population toward liberation from Capital and the State. A poor excuse, but what else could the Left come up with to justify its own alliance with Capital and the State?

🟢 We live in a weird era in which, as the song goes:

"Left is Right and Right is Wrong
better decide which side you're on..."
- Tom Robinson Band.

It will take many years, perhaps decades, for truly radical and alternative american organizations and activists to disentangle themselves from the chariots of the Holy Alliance and re-emerge again as a viable political option. And they won't be able to do anything useful at a socially meaningful scale until they understand that in the current era among the People - beyond slogans and behaviors - the concepts of left and right are mostly mixed up and very often inverted.

🟢 Liberation from the power of Capital and the State necessitates a Liberation Movement; not a contest of "politically correct speech", nor the tormented "politics of guilt". Identity politics can only have a meaning if they are part of a unified movement for collective and personal social liberation aimed at the overthrow of Capital and the State; otherwise those politics only serve the modern Empire and the empowerement of its Thought Police.

🟢 A contemporary Liberation Movement needs to be guided by an understanding of complex concepts; the mental-emotional numbness created by the Left's internal Thought Police makes that impossible and it cultivates political stupidity.

🟢 Components of reality which need to be recognised as parameters that together must determine the direction of the compass guiding the Liberation Movement include:

🟪 The fundamentals of political economy (relations of production, ownership and control of means of production and natural resources - the so-called Objective forces of History).

🟪 The fundamentals of Orgonomy (mass psychology, knowledge of the psychosomatic essence of authoritarianism, effects of the suppression and exploitation of sensuous and pleasurable experiences of the Erotic; personal and social liberation by restoration of Eros and self-regulation of the individual and social organism - all which sculpt the so-called Subjective forces of History).

🟪 The fundamentals of how the contemporary Society of the Spectacle operates, and especially how the Objective and the Subjective forces of History have come to be producing and reproducing it, ruled by it, identified with it, and are aware of themselves only through it. It has gone way beyond the world of Advertising and Propaganda; it is currently the process by which the current regime's narrative is experienced as "reality". Its modern evolutes, ie. the Society of Television, the Society of the Desktop or Mobile Screen, the Society of the Keyboard... all evolving together into the Society of Social Media, have given us the present stage of the Spectacle, which is a Participatory Dictatorship of Social Media: produce and reproduce a version of dominant "reality" of your own, with your own personal flavor. At the same time, it is the only unified culture shared by the majority of the global population.

🟪 Newly evolving paradigms of revolutionary societies with contributions from the Zapatistas and the Kurds.

🟪 Restoration of "old-fashioned" patterns of Liberation - such as ethnic and national liberation, community politics, etc. - can take totally new meanings in the present era of Empire which rules entire countries via globalization. Che Guevara's "Patria o Muerte / Homeland or Death" retains a global and glorious anti-Imperialist validity which the euro-american Left no longer understands. Patriotism, in the context of internationalism, continues to be one of the most powerful vehicles for Liberation.

🟪 The local and global working class has changed. We live in an era where the 99% of the population belongs to the working class, even though only 30%-60% of this class might be employed at any given time: the entire class survives on the combined incomes of those few. There's a need to recognize that the "new" working class includes very few industrial proletarians; more academic and highly technical proletarians; a large number of people who work either part-time or seasonally; that many people work at home; many people are in a "fluid" employment status somewhere between "self-employed" and "employed"; that more and more people work in an environment where "local" and "global" are intimately connected; more and more people possess many, many highly developed skills and yet they are employed as "unskilled workers", or their skills are under-employed; the working class includes a few farmers, many small business owners; it includes vast numbers whose social and self awareness is determined by their being shoppers and consumers; and similarly, it includes vast numbers whose social and self awareness is determined by their being Spectators and participants in the dictatorship of Social Media. All of the above belong to multitude of varied and different identities characterised by ethnic, national and cultural parameters, language and religion, gender and sexuality, location, and by their country's or community's status within the local and global hierarchy and relations of power. Collectively, they - we! - comprise a political Multitude, which is both the new Subjective force in History, and also part of the machinery of production and reproduction of Objective reality.

🟢 All of the above are essential for re-aligning the compass of the Liberation Movement in the West - don't leave home for the Revolution without them!

🟢 A Left that is self-absorbed and entirely obsessed with its own internal Thought Police enforcing the Politics of Guilt and petty Identity Politics on its members and attempting to enforce that on the populatioin-at-large while it exists in a criminal co-dependance with the Imperial Alliance, is better Left Behind.

🟣 Integration is not Liberation!

🟣 All Power to the Imagination!

🟣 Onwards for a new Erotic Psychedelic Inter-Galactic Consciousness spanning both the Physical and the Metaphysical!

🟣 Revolt where you live ~ Live Everywhere!

🟣 Liberated Collective realities are crucial for the Liberation process: they can only be created by Love actively engaged in listening, participation in group dialogues structured as a shared experience of Direct Democracy; shared Work; shared Play. They can take a myriad forms: music bands; affinity groups; combat units; community power councils; collective households; communes; worker-owned businesses ; cooperatives; independent unions of working people, soldiers, neighbors; consumers' co-ops; Peoples' Armies; Liberated Countries.

🟣 All for One and One for All!
