The new man the empire needs is not the man we would like to be.
When I was a kid I watched The Flintstones. Every kid in those days watched this cartoon. It was in the times of the Cold War, when the world was divided between capitalism and communism. Every young person had to face this political-ideological dispute that divided humanity. As I watched The Flintstones, I had no doubt about my political ideology. – I was a capitalist.
I admired American capitalism because of the Flintstones. Fred Flintstone was an uneducated worker who lived as a middle-class citizen enjoying all the benefits that the “stone age” industrial society could offer. Yea! It was a paradoxical cartoon, I think that’s why many people liked it. An industrial society in a stone age that was also Jurassic and dinosaurs were domesticated. Fred had a family, a nice house, a pet dinosaur, a car, his house had all the appliances and his family enjoyed safety and comfort. Despite being a construction worker, he and his family lived with dignity.
As a young man, I admired the American capitalism because I saw the US as an egalitarian society with a good standard of living for its workers. However, this capitalism, which I saw and admired when I was young, no longer exists. This American capitalism was extinguished and in its place, an anticapitalism was implanted. How and why this happened deserves an analysis that allows us to understand its causes and predict its consequences.
The Transition from American Capitalism to Neoliberal Anticapitalism
After the end of the Second World War, which only happened due to the promotion of Nazi-fascism in Europe by neoliberals, that continued to support Nazi-fascism all over the world, with the hope that it could still be useful in the fight against communism. The deep state saved many Nazi war criminals from the courts that were created to condemn them for their heinous crimes. Allen Dulles of the CIA was not the only neoliberal who acted to save these criminals and Karl Wolf was not the only Nazi saved by the deep state mafia. Various deep state agents saved thousands of Nazi criminals. Many of these criminals remained in Europe unpunished and even doing politics, while many went to South America through operations that became known as the “Nazi Ratlines”, transport lines for Nazi rats. One of these Nazis, Walter Rauff ended up in Chile, where he helped the fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet set up his Gestapo called DINA, Rauff was Pinochet’s adviser in DINA so that he would carry out his genocidal persecution of his opponents. The neoliberals of the American Empire implanted and supported the Nazi-fascism in Latin American.
Neo-liberals have always had as their number one priority the conquest of Russia and the elimination of communism from the world so that these small financial elite could completely dominate the world. Then they took a big step towards increasing their ability to finance their industrial-military complex to wage wars around the world, fighting communists and opponents who did not accept being vassals of the empire. Then, when they were still waging the war in Vietnam, the neoliberals finally did something radical to solve the question of financing their wars: – they extinguished the “Gold Standard” in 1971! Exactly, they inaugurated the “Age of Fiat Money”, the money indiscriminately printed by the state that produces inflation and misery wherever it is used. As the US Dollar is used all over the world, the Empire started to export its inflation and misery to the whole world.
With the global money factory that the Americans created in 1971, they realized that they could take another big step to encircle the communist Russia and its USSR – Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, in order to consolidate their project of global domination. In 1972, Richard Nixon went to China to propose a commercial approach with that country, and he succeeded. Therefore, in 1976, Mao Zedong’s China began its trade opening with the Western world, with the aim of transforming that country’s economy, eliminating the economic and technological backwardness in which it found itself. China’s rapprochement with the US destabilized the USSR, which collapsed and became extinct in 1991. Today we know that Nixon’s plan partially worked. However, China has not become an unconditional vassal of the US prone to support the Americans in their plan to destroy Russia. On the contrary, China has become Russia’s greatest ally in the chess of global geopolitics.
Fifty years after Nixon’s visit to China, Americans are seeing that Nixon’s strategy has not worked as expected. China has become the largest economy on the planet and started its “Belt and Road Initiative” project with the aim of being the economic center of the world. Today’s Russia, after more than 20 years of strategic policies carried out by Vladimir Putin, is a country with a very solid economic situation and the greatest military power on the planet. Now Americans are desperate that Nixon’s plan failed and that the cost of that plan was extremely high. The industry that could have given the country economic strength has been transferred to Asia. The country’s remaining financial power is being drained away. Constantly, the nefarious and corrupt elite, that destroyed the US, desperately blames China, Iran and Russia for the country misfortunes, trying to divert attention from its people, hoping that they do not see the destruction that this medieval elite did to the great country that once used to take care of the families of millions of Fred Flintstones who once contributed to the greatness of the nation.
The great polarity today is no longer between capitalism and communism that there was at the time I watched the Flintstones cartoon. Today the world is divided between the antieconomy of neoliberal capitalism of the decadent West and the orderly and progressive economy of the sovereign Eurasia. While the Fred Flintstones’ families are becoming extinct in the decadent West, whose corrupt neoliberal elite is imposing its process of miserification, the opposite is happening in Eurasia. Russia is no longer communist; it is a free democracy with a conservative and civilized capitalism. In communist China, capitalism is vibrant and the Fred Flintstones’ families multiply year after year. Millions of families are being included into the middle class thanks to Chinese capitalism properly guided and regulated by a communist party, which is still completely incomprehensible to the corrupt and medieval elite of the Western neoliberal world. The neoliberals could never imagine that the Chinese communists would adopt and use capitalism so masterfully that China would soon become the world’s first economy.
The transmutation of American capitalism into neoliberal Anticapitalism has gradually promoted the extinction of the Fred Flintstone-type man. In capitalism, the worker is used to obtain surplus value through his work. In neoliberal anticapitalism, it is no longer necessary to obtain profit from the use of the worker, as it is enough to produce and allocate fiat money where it is most interesting for the empire, and the empire is not always interested in this large volume of fiat money ending up in workers’ families. This process produces men who feel dissatisfied with the society that does not allow them to build a middle-class family with the fruit of their work. The deconstruction of the family unit, together with the Woke movement, which proposes the suppression of fathers and mothers, creates an even desolate picture for that man who would like to have a traditional middle-class family like the Flintstones’ family.
Imperialist ethics is completely medieval; it is the ethics of the dog-eat-dog world of the game of thrones. The small elite of the empire does not care about the civility of its people. The population is a mere instrument that the elite manipulates to maintain their privileges and have their interests served. It is no longer in the interest of neoliberal masters for a worker to demand a salary that supports his family, as the priority is not the father of the family, not even the family. The Empire’s priority is a man with no hope of having a good job and no prospects for the future, who no longer thinks about his family and social stability. This man, who has already lost hope in society must be possessed by fear and hatred. Thus, this man, made by the Empire to serve the Empire, is constantly bombarded by the neoliberal media with messages of threats coming from Russia, China, Iran and the countries that defend their sovereignty. This new man in the service of the Empire has to be a zombie, a “white walker” ready to take orders from his “Night King”, his “madman” who will start the Third World War.
To form their armies of “white walkers”, neoliberals promoted the de-industrialization of the West by transferring many of their factories to China. They replaced the proletariat with the “precariat”. They take out from the working citizen the possibility of living a decent and productive life. After all, when a citizen has a family and a job, he does not think about wars, he is a person with faith in society and civilization, this peaceful and sociable citizen is not the angry and hateful being that neoliberals want to form their armies of destruction.
It is not by chance that the Nazi-fascism is making a strong resurgence in every corner where neoliberals infiltrate. The Nazism that grows every day in Ukraine, as well as the Nazi-fascism that manifests itself in Brazil are proof that neoliberals are actively spreading Nazi-fascism around the world. Hitler needed to build up Germany’s enemies to mobilize his people for war. The enemies were the Russian communists, the winners of the First World War, the Jews, and of course all Hitler’s enemies’ allies. In the same way, neoliberals are re-establishing Nazi-fascism in the West, spreading hatred, destroying politics, suppressing decent work, suppressing families and tearing apart the social fabric in order to have the man necessary for the empire, the man without humanity, without hope, without attachment to society and family.
This antisocial and angry man already takes to the streets when the empire summons him. The rowdy militias that torched several US cities during the 2020 demonstrations were formed mostly by this man, made for the empire and to serve the deep state empire.
