Karl Marx wrote in 1859,

“The general conclusion at which I arrived and which, once reached, became the guiding principle of my studies can be summarized as follows. In the social production of their existence, men inevitably enter into definite relations, which are independent of their will, namely relations of production appropriate to a given stage in the development of their material forces of production. The totality of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which arises a legal and political superstructure and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political and intellectual life. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness.”

Since,

the consciouness of men,

does not determine

our existence

but

our social existence

determines our consciouness,

it follows that

in this capitalist world,

I should be

no more than

a materialist.

Fuck philosophical idealism.

Fuck political idealism.

Fuck social idealism.

Its the economy STUPID!!!

Therefore the size

of your wallet

that measures

a man.

My contemporaries

can intellectualise all they want,

the answer is still

the same.

Human societies

are a hopeless mess.

The global economy

is contingent on

the American economy,

which in turn is

contingent on

just 30 stocks

on the Dow Jones index.

What is wrong

with this picture?

The Americans

understood Life.

Invest in military hardware

Invest in nuclear weapons.

The rest of the world

will bow at your feet

and throw money at you.
