<neoliberalism
any and all materialists must acknowledge that we exist in the neoliberal epoch, one unlike any other capitalist epoch. the biggest difference is that it has been intentionally manufactured to destroy class politics in everyway and it succeeded. via attacks on home ownership, community belonging, social atomisation, post fordism & gig economy, well fare it destroyed the ability for the left and even right to coherently organise and left them to embrace pseudo simulcra politics of liberalism (woke) vs conservatvism (nothing lol). in the third world where traditional manufacturing is still persued, an all ecompassing and brutal surveillance state made successful revolutionary politics impossible.
<death-agony, current and coming
but neoliberalism has entered its death agony stage. its contradictions (need to global elite agreement, invisible imports hard carrying western economies, ect) have caught up and the ideological, moralistic and pragmatic defences for the liberal international order and neoliberalism have already gone Dodo, all we wait for is the first piston in the globalist economy to collapse and this will cause a critical meltdown across the globe and with it the end of everything, the cathedral, human rights, capitalist realism, the spectacle and more. its impossible to tell when this will occur. i predicted it would be the coming right populist surge and then the mass dissillusionment which would follow, but the epstein files might cause it even sooner.
<Return of Vitality and Horror
with neoliberalism's death, we will see the Far right and left regain strength and energy, a true return to class politics. we will likely see a years of lead across the whole of eurasia, south americas and africa but not US or PRC. there will be far more riots, counter culture & demagogues arising from the formly 1dimenional workers. the 60s and interwar periods will be nothing the bumbling marches to the bloodshed to come and we shall see the earth be hurtled to utopia and despair one day after the next. total global meltdown. is your ideology prepared for the sudden influx of work? can you make one that can?
>>2687082im gonna try to start getting into coding and then put a more refined version of this predicition into an essay that ill put alongside others on my site. bless you all
Where does the Zionist entity fit into all this?
>>2687090once it NeoL collapses (perhaps the board of peace will have something to do with it?) and the masses regain agency, its hard to imagine even the most generally ambieveltnt to pro isreali leaning publics supporting endless defence for gains only really to chemical and tech companies and large multinationals will probably leave as the situtation towards Isreal becomes drastically more dangerous even if the state still remains. the zionists are already now one of the driving reasons for the collapse of NeoL as they have completely discreted its claims to democracy, human rights and reason and its only be the sheer will of the zionist state that the US and other govs have not already divested from them. Israel was indispensible during the cold war and against iran and the 2000s wars but it is teethless against russia and will certainly adopt neutrality if China invades taiwan and not assist the US. there is already sections of the bourgeois desiring to totally move away from israel
>>2687098Imo Israel is the very heart of this epoch. Its collapse will signal the end of the neoliberal order. It will be similar to the collapse of the Soviet union.
>>2687082>Return of Vitality and HorrorOh fuck, I'm gonna nut
>>2687090Not OP but I feel the process OP is describing in the second paragraph has already started because of the Gaza genocide
Admitting we live under neoliberalism is a giant step for most socialists
>>2687082>we exist in the neoliberal epochOur material base is pretty much socialist already as Marx described it. the 19th and 20th century are long since past. The random small time producers organized by market forces and profit motive have already been eaten by the big multinational corporations who work with their own central plans, sometimes functioning in the scale of whole nations. Markets and profit motive are pretty much secondary importance. We have huge companies entwined with states and are too big to fail and economy full of meme companies and projects that nobody really expects to ever make a single cent of profit, but the lie of the market mattering is still useful. This just isn't capitalism anymore.
In the terms of political economy the issues we face now are more political than in the economy. We have socialism, but it socialism that is just politics is dead and the point of governments is to administrate society and economy so that 1) society doesn't collapse 2) current social order is maintained 3) the global megaporkies can feel safe and contended 4) wagies get the scraps. The machine is already there the revolution will be restarting politics and remaking the administrative state and it's priorities. I disagree that there is some new stage of neoliberalism, it's just more of the same, but worse, until it gets better of course. The liberal facade of it all unfurling rn can only be a good thing.
>>2687082Fully automated planned capitalism where 90% of population are NEETs (if they are allowed to exist at all).
>>2687356Aren't we living this already. if you look at China the "dark factory" (with no or minimal amount of workers) being the new norm and you believe David Graeber (or observe it by your own eyes), that most administrative jobs, especially in middle management are just air and pointless. Mostly so everybody has the opportunity to work and justify their existence to society and themselves. If we really wanted it we could rn kick a lot of people into unemployment in the developed countries.
>>2687368>If we really wanted it we could rn kick a lot of people into unemployment in the developed countriesAnd thats whats gonna happen. There won’t even be UBI because they know that the prole has been absolutely brainfucked and will not complain, at all. Or maybe… nah, they are that cocky, lol
