Rambles about capital 0.1 (eng.)

-

Capitalism functions in a mode of constant crisis, the base of capital is not greed, but crisis, since to constantly expand capital in an unorientable void of endless production in all directions there must be a constant state of things going wrong to fill in with a new novelty or market. Profit's tendency to fall is just part of crisis capitalism. Fascism takes it's place when it is in crisis and revolution fails. Take in for example Keynesian Capitalism this once its corrupt contradictions began to unravel and affect society with violent outburst of authoritarianism and  failing economic activity, the potential for revolutionary change was there as predicted through the contradictions found within capitalist relationship. The 1968 protests existed as a renewed spectre of class movement, which was upon its failure, violently supressed by a re establishing of class power from the bourgeoisie in the neoliberal reform of capitalism. 

As nations with a socialist or communist party in power faced class contradiction within themselves 'twas a opportune  moment to re-establish capitalism in a radical change into capital's dominance, the capitalist realism talked about mark fisher.

The only exception and relief of the neurotic anxiety of capitalist reproduction being the time we dedicate to sleep. Jonathan Carry's thesis is centred around how in the past couple of centuries, sleep within society has rapidly been a decreasing factor in people’s lives. He claims that it is...

Lonely souls!

-
  Lonely souls! Everyone just goes around doing stuff — despite knowing they are going to die. Because they know they can never do anything but occupy their restless minds. This is the reason love is so urgent, even to mishappen souls such as mine. ‘Cause without love and eros, souls flatten into a single dimensional line. Lonely souls merge with the background out of focus tones of black and grey intertwined.

From narrative to simulacrum: a comparison

-
  Social media posts are a novel and unusual phenomenon, memes are filling our time what was until now the place of films or books. However, unlike the example of films or books that show us the vision of the author behind them, memes capture our attention for a split second just to be replaced by a new icon or symbol, the latter are also authorless, vague in their origin. This new form of information is characterized by being higher in quantity; as a matter of fact, 90% of all data hitherto created was generated in the past 2 years. [C. Johnson 2021] Furthermore, data plays a centre stage role in our economies, our governments our wars and our lives. Every day it seems more and more like we live in the reality that philosopher Jean Baudrillard once pronounced,  “We live in a world where there is more and more information and less and less meaning.” [J. Baudrillard 1985]  It is necessary to understand the similarities between social media (the democratic production of con...
