GLOBAL STRATEGIC
HYPOTHESES.
Dear
Reader,
GLOBAL STRATEGIC
HYPOTHESES. The
“capital-relation” [Marx], as predominant, all-dominating “social relation of
production” [Marx], and the total, global socio-politico-economic system of
capitals, and the entire, “historically-specific” ‘human Phenome’, that
grows up around the capital-relation’s core, “the elementary form of
[commodity-[capital]-]value” [Marx], has a “fatal flaw”, one whose
manifestation intensifies with the growth of the “social forces of production”
[Marx] itself also ‘incented’ by the capitals system itself -- a “fatal
flaw” which is fatal for the capital-relation and its system for sure, and fatal
also for the planetary human[oid] species as a whole, that incarnates the
capital/wage-labor-relation, unless
that species in general, and the global-majority working/middle class of that
species in particular, is provoked to intervene in the course of the
development of this “fatal flaw”, so as to create a higher successor system to
the capitalist system, a system of ‘political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY’.
That “fatal flaw” is rooted in the ‘intra-duality’ at the
heart of the capitals system.
Capital is, yes, “self-expanding value” [Marx].
But capital is also ‘self-contracting value’ [Seldon].
And the balance between these ‘capital-anabolic’ and
‘capital-catabolic’ processes shifts as the process of accumulation of capital
proceeds, and as the growth of the social forces of production ensues there-within.
Capital is ‘self-expanding value, by the re-conversion of
profit-of-enterprise -- and of the “relative surplus-value” [Marx] therein
contained and augmented as the growth of the social forces of production,
‘incented’ in capitalist competition, ensues -- into new industrial capital
plant and equipment, and into new, loanable banking capital, as well as into
new “variable capital” [Marx].
Capital is also ‘self-contracting value’, by the “moral
depreciation” [Marx], i.e., by the ‘technological-obsolescence depreciation’ or
‘technodepreciation’ [Seldon] of accumulated, “old” fixed capital plant and
equipment, by “new”, e.g., cheaper fixed capital plant and equipment, embodying
a higher development of the social forces of production, i.e., a lower “value”
as abstract labor-time presently
socially-necessary to reproduce [marx] that “new” fixed capital plant and
equipment.
In the first phase of the global, capitals-system --
of world-market capital accumulation -- the growth of the “social forces of
production” still creates more new capital, in the form of re-converted new “relative
surplus-value”, than that growth destroys, in the form of “morally depreciated”
[‘technodepreciated’] older vintages of fixed capital plant and equipment, and
of insolvency resulting in “non-performing” large, long term bank loans to
older industrial firms for their purchase of fixed capital plant and
equipment. This first phase of capital accumulation constitutes the
‘‘‘ascendence phase’’ of the global capitals-system.
But in the second phase of that planetary capitals-system,
which began in the late 1800s C.E./B.U.E ‘Great Techno-Deflation’ on this
planet -- of world-market capital accumulation -- the growth of the “social
forces of production”, for the concentrated core industrial capital of
concentrated-ownership core capitalist ruling class, as the fixed capital plant
and equipment composition of their capital increases to become the predominant
component of their capital property mass, and value, begin to destroy more
“old” capital-value than the value of “new” capital that it creates. This second phase of capital
[dis-]accumulation constitutes the ‘‘‘descendence phase’’ of the global
capitals-system.
The ruling faction of the core capitalist ruling class, as
already a class-for-itself, and a class collective-psychologically --
‘‘‘psychohistorically’’’ -- positioned to become aware of this
‘technodepreciation’ fatal flaw of the capitalist system before the other classes,
and, especially, before the working/middle class, undergoes a ‘psychohistorical
trauma’, and a ‘psycho-sociopathic ideological self-degeneration’, as it
realizes that its OWN capitalist system has, lawfully, turned against it, and
now threatens to dethrone it from its power to rule over global capitalist
society, by destroying its capital, the social basis of its power, and with
that ‘techno-depreciation’ destruction of capital-value, also all of the
“perks” of that ruling power.
In reaction to this “antinomy”, this ruling faction of the
capitalist ruling class [the Rockefeller, ‘Rocke-Nazi’ faction] adopts, and
massively funds, Malthusian “eugenics” ideologies for mass murder against the
global working class -- thereby attacking the very core of the “social forces
of production”, the working class population
itself.
That ruling class, also in reaction to their discovery of
the ‘techno-depreciation’ fatal flaw of their racket, imposes [1913
C.E./B.U.E.] “income taxes” on core working-class wages, etc., to finance the
imposition of industrialization-blocking military dictatorships, comprador
dictatorships, etc., all over the periphery and semi-periphery of the
capitalist geographical core -- the periphery and semi-periphery that then,
thereby becomes the “Third World”.
The purpose of this core ruling class faction in so doing is
to shield their core concentrated capital from ‘technodepreciation’ induced by
competition from otherwise rapidly-industrializing, low-labor-cost, newest
plant and equipment installing, peripheral and semi-peripheral capitals, by,
first, de-industrializing the nascent industry of the peripheral and
semi-peripheral nation-states, and, thereafter, by holding-back their
re-industrialization, by dictatorial means.
That core ruling class faction also imposes [beginning in 1913 C.E./B.U.E.] “Federal
Reserve” style “Central Banks” on the nation-states of the capitalist core, so
as to enforce a ‘controlled, gradual-exponential hyperinflation’ which
continually lowers the real wages of the working class, by continually reducing
the buying power of their nominally the same, or even slightly-rising, wages
and salaries.
This is accompanied by, and furthers, the collusive, state
and oligopolistic disadvantaging of smaller, more-competitive capitalist
enterprises, e.g., in their “terms of trade” with the core capitalist
ruling-class-owned oligopolies.
This further disadvantages the smaller capitalist
enterprises, by enabling those oligopolies to suppress the otherwise
competition-enforced ‘techno-depreciation’ write-down of their obsolescent
fixed capital plant and equipment, so as to enable them to charge prices, to
the smaller, more competitive capitalist enterprises, that demand full
depreciation charges on the historical, original value of that obsolescent, oligopolized
capital plant and equipment, from the smaller, more competitive enterprises
that also face the full brunt of the competitive ‘technodepreciation’ of their
own capital assets, thus accumulating “fictitious value” and “fictitious
capital” potential, depression-inducing illiquidity.
That core ruling class faction also engineers world wars
[e.g., 1914, “World War I”], war-enabled genocides, and, increasingly, targeted
, ‘‘‘weaponized’’’ world economic depressions, in part, via “Federal
Reserve”-style “Central Bank” interest-rate manipulations -- ‘designer
depressions’ aimed at weakening and murdering millions of workers, suppressing
rival, non-core nation-state industrializations and alliances [e.g., after WWI,
between Germany and Russia], etc.
That core faction also uses ‘state-as-market’, ‘sweetheart
deal’, state-income-tax-financed hyper-militarization -- the formation of
“Military-Industrial Complexes” [Eisenhower] -- to provide a hyper-subsidized,
[pseudo-]profitable outlet for “Department I” [Marx], “production of means of
production” industries, fixed capital plant and equipment producing capitalist
industries, otherwise exposed to profitability-destroying, bankrupting level of
technological obsolescence depreciation of both their products and their means
of production, leading to a ‘permanent war warfare state’ [Orwell].
The capitalist system, in its ‘‘‘descendence phase’’’, is
lawfully destined to undo, reverse, and destroy the democratization, in terms
of representative, parliamentary, etc.,
democracy, that its incipient rulers had championed during their long
fight against the former, feudal, ruling classes, and during the ‘ascendence
phase’’’ of the global capitalist system.
‘‘‘Descendence-phase’’’ is destined to converge on a global
system of totalitarian, police-state, state-capitalist national
super-corporations, in permanent, “antagonistically-cooperative”, “Malthusian” world
depression, and world war with one another [Orwell], unless or until the world
working class intervenes, to create a higher successor “social relation of
production”, characterized by ‘political-economic democracy’,
which we of F.E.D.,
and which the Equitist Advocacy group, call ‘Equitism’, or ‘Generalized Equity’.
The “checks and balances” among the executive, legislative,
and judicial branches of ascendence-phase capitalist national governance, that
gave democracy and universal human rights a chance to begin flourishing, were
lawfully destined to be undermined, progressively, by the accumulation of
capital itself -- by the concentration, consolidation, and centralization of
capital-money in ever-fewer hands -- enabling those “fewer hands” to “buy-out”,
to prostitute, all three branches of political governance to the single
class-will and class-agenda of those “fewer hands”. But the “law of motion of modern
society”-destined discovery of the ‘technodepreciation’ fatal flaw of
capitalism, first by that ruling “class-for-itself”, made this movement toward
Orwellian totalitarian state-capitalist dictatorship deepen and accelerate
“with a vengeance”, the “vengeance” of a traumatically,
‘psycho-sociopathically’ deranged ruling class faction, the “eugenicist”,
‘Rocke-Nazi’ faction, that had discovered that its “own” system had turned
against its rule, and thus against it as such.
It must also be recognized, however, that there is a
lawfully-destined “intra-duality” within the ‘‘‘descendence-phase’’’ capitalist
ruling class itself, as exemplified by the distinct strategy and agendas of,
and the conflict between, the Franklin Roosevelt faction, and later, the
Kennedy faction, of that ruling class, vis-a-vis the strategy and agendas of
the Rockefeller, “Eugenics”, ‘Rocke-Nazi’ faction.
More recently, the ‘‘‘Trump faction’’’ of the capitalist
ruling class, in electoral alliance with the ‘Rocke-Nazi’-partially-destroyed,
‘‘‘de-industrialized’’’ U.S. working class, is presently giving the
‘Rocke-Nazi’ faction, and their many ‘Stealth Eugenics’ pogroms against the
U.S./world working class, a challenge to the ‘Rocke-Nazis’ rule, a challenge
the likes of which the ‘Rocke-Nazis’ have not faced since they exterminated the
leadership of the rival, ‘Roosevelt’ faction, with their slaughter of John
Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and many others, during the 1960s.
More about this latter development is to come.
