Capitalism and Families at War in Titus Andronicus and Romeo and Juliet. (original) (raw)
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.
