Abstract
An aspect of Capitalism that is kept not quite conscious is that it urges, and needs, families to compete with each other. The implications of this are briefly discussed, and some questions raised, as a prelude to further thinking about viable alternatives. Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus & Romeo and Juliet are alluded to, as extreme but vibrantly disturbing illustrations of Family Warfare.

POLITICS: AN ESSAY ON THE EVOLUTION OF SOCIETIES: HISTORICAL PROBLEMS; NEW DIRECTIONS
This essay will extend the impact of introducing a new form of metaphysics, to the human activities known as politics. The New Metaphysics is called ORGANIC, because it is inspired by the principal characteristics of all Life-Forms, of which humans are the most complex on this planet. As such, they must organize their collective affairs in ways that nature has shown is optimal for all Life; this is very different from the common, historical method of organizing groups of people over the last 10,000 years. The approach used here is to analyze human history looking for patterns and lessons that can be used to synthesize an updated style of social organization, better suited for meeting modern challenges. This essay is constructed around the definition that Politics always involves "Power over People". As such, it will examine the relationships between the few Rulers and the majority of people in societies. The analysis will examine the common factors believed to have been present in the early (Stone Age and older) communities and the dramatic changes as people related biologically grew into larger groups, we call Tribes. The critical transition to even larger numbers of people (most strangers to one another) living together in urban centers (called Cities) will become the principal focus, as this is where modern awareness of politics began to emerge and reflects current styles. This historical review is extended geographically to cover other major civilizations that have evolved across the globe (Empires) however the major focus is on European societies (and their predecessors) that are best known to the author and have become the bad model for most nations today. The author's extensive experience with systems empowers much of this analysis as well as his lifelong interests in History and Philosophy. The focus here is on Political Philosophy; the thesis is that a group of thinkers has solidified ancient social arrangements over the last 2,500 years to benefit the Few at the expense of the Many. This real dominance has been achieved through violence (or threats) but also through mind-control of Education. This essay suggests biological alternatives to the way humans interact voluntarily with one another.
Towards a materialist theory of revenge: The lives of Witches
VAGABONDS: The peer-reviewed working-paper series of the ReImagining Value Action Lab, 2017
This intentionally provocative paper makes three interwoven arguments. First, that the rise of the far-right and of authoritarian and fascistic and fundamentalist regimes and organizations around the world (but especially in the country of the essay's focus: the US) signals the emergence of a "revenge politics." This term is here explored in two figures, one of early and one of late capitalism: Francis Bacon and Steve Bannon respectively. The second argument is that these emergence revenge politics cannot be seen except as part and parcel of the emergence of a form of "revenge capitalism" marked by a horrific illogic that compounds the routine cruelties of capitalist exploitation with new pathological tendencies. I offer a genealogy of revenge as a tool of the powerful, but one that consistently displaces the accusation of sick vengefulness onto those whom it oppresses and colonizes. This leads to the final point: whereas it has become taboo to mention revenge as a keyword of liberation, I excavate a hidden history of radical "avenging" from proletarian, feminist and anti-colonial struggles. I propose the notion of the avenging commons as a way of thinking through not only creating living alternatives to capitalism but also reclaiming wealth and reimagining value.
Mann Dark Side of Democracy 2005
This book presents a new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most terrible cases -colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda -and cases of lesser violence -early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia. Murderous cleansing is modern -it is "the dark side of democracy." It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethnonational movements each claims "its own" state over the same territory. Conflict escalates where either the weaker side fights rather than submit because of aid from outside or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. But the state must also be factionalized and radicalized by external pressures like wars. Premeditation is rare, since perpetrators feel "forced" into escalation when their milder plans are frustrated. Escalation is not simply the work of "evil elites" or "primitive peoples." It results from complex interactions among leaders, militants, and "core constituencies" of ethnonationalism. Understanding this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future.

Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism that arose during the early years of 20th century in Europe. It was practiced for the first time in Italy by Mussolini during and after World War 1 when the liberal democrats failed to come up with solutions to the problems caused due to the Great War. Practical fascism was not based on some developed fascist ideology; rather fascism arose spontaneously and at the same time in theory and practice. Fascism was actually the outcome of frustrations of the people during the war. They were weary of continuously fighting and sacrificing and wanted a new political order. These frustrations, along with bruised nationalism of the defeated countries, were the ultimate source of the rise of Fascism. Italy, though was among the victors, became the perfect example of Fascism due to the injustice done to it by its allies in distribution of conquered territories. To understand fascism in a better way we must first discuss where, how, and why it originated.
Is Development Accumulation of Wealth? Islamic Views
Afro Eurasian Studies, Vol 2, Issues 1 & 2, Spring & Fall 2013, p144-203, 2013
The idea that development is mainly about the accumulation of wealth commands widespread support. Dissenters have introduced other dimensions of development, but nonetheless agree on the centrality and importance of wealth. However, Islam is primarily concerned with spiritual and moral development. Teachings of Islam created an inner revolution within the companions of the prophet, which led to the creation of a new form of society with distinctive institutions and ideology. Eclipse of Islamic civilization, and the rise to global dominance of capitalist societies has led to widespread acceptance, even among Muslims, of ideas antithetical to Islam. In this article, we expose and refute one dozen widely believed myths created to support Western hegemony, and provide alternative points of view.
