The Last Revolution: Postcapitalist Futures

The question of evolution remains a mystery and just saying so could free the whole subject of what we suspect: an ideology masquerading as science and suspiciously hooked up with a capitalist ideology of social Darwinism.  The question of evolution as empirical fact is clear enough, but a theory is not so simple. Darwinism has stultified research and the complex question of how nature drives evolution remains stuck in the speculations about creative evolution. Although I do not agree with his metaphysics here I must give a hat tip to Bergson who saw the handwriting on the wall as to ‘evolutionary theories’.  The ideas of creative evolution seem impossible to avoid. But they are not so simply to deal with and invoke design arguments of an elusive.  Perhaps the age of AI might help resolve the mystery of evolutionary bootstrap without crippling mysticism. The issue closely resembles what happened with the physics spectrum which had to come to understand fields, electromagnetic, gravitational, etc… Consider the real complexity of evolution: it must in some kind of directionality initiate meta-forms which are body plans, and then evidently test them against the environment.  One body plan is hard enough, a million or so, plus system return at each phase of change, is a problem so humungous as to be almost incomprehensible to ‘us’ hominids. But if natural selection fails, and it does, then that complexity rises almost at once. Here the idea of a field, a sort of biofield arises, inevitably to posit the theory for what we see: body plans and species on the surface of a planet. The statistics of natural selection fails and there is no option for its claims.

The Gaza war brings home the reality of the Deep State, a term that has fallen into confusion but which is in essence quite clear as indicating the hidden control, beside the AIPAC/Israeli factor, of mostly appointed rather than elected figures who behind the cover of democracy at home drag the US into a morass of foreign wars and especially into the destruction of the Middle East and this entangled with Israeli ambitions in the same direction: the phantom of a Greater Israel and an empire in the ruins of the Moslem world.

————————

The war in Gaza and its US-supported genocide is a calamity for the legitimacy of the American Republic: revolutionary protest, as reformist activism, what to say of revolution, has been legitimized as never before.

One is almost decitizenized and the idea of a revolution against the American neo-tyranny as a rogue state next to its sidekick rogue state, Israel, passes from virtuality to caution as to the future…

The resemblance of Israeli genocide to the American genocide of the American Indian: Israel thinks that history will repeat itself and that they can eliminate the Palestinians and proceed as did the Americans to greater glory in a legacy of murder. But history doesn’t repeat itself and if anything the legacy of the US will resurface(it is happening now) to finally discredit the US itself as an historical genocidal interloper and the world of Yankee Doodle meets its true karma. The same fate awaits Israel, but the wait is over: the Judaic idea is dead, and the Christian is not far behind. The world is moving on and those stuck in the past, as with the Israelis, will confront their irrelevance to the future. Israel is a new ghetto and its residents are trying to break down its walls, but the walls are psychological. The future of Israel could have been a fruitful experiment, but instead has fallen into the hands of those victims to the ghostly phantom of Israel past, a lost world that must be renounced in both religion and politics. Jews were thought to be intelligent, but the current scene exhibits only stupidity. Can Israelis snap out of hallucination?

Settlers all over the West Bank see this war as a golden opportunity to torment Palestinians from small communities who are literally defenseless,” said one human rights campaigner.
