Chapter 1 The present cultural constitution and its adverse effects on human and earthly nature
The history of capitalism (Parts) In the 15th century, the European nations began to realise 'liberal' colonialism and imperialism, which gradually spread to the whole world. The establishment of the British and Dutch East India Companies at the beginning of the 17th century led to a veritable 'liberal-parasitic', sadistic and sometimes tyrannical exploitation of colonial peoples. This ultimately gave rise to so-called 'free trade', which has remained obligatory for the nations of the '1st, 2nd and 3rd world' to this day and continues to result in unnatural and asocial cultural symptoms. The industrial revolution that began in Europe in the 18th century was organised in the tradition of 'free trade' through the exploitation of slaves and the creation of a new type of working-class proletariat. Since the turn of the millennium, this new form of imperialism and colonialism, which also has an impact on nations, has led to the establishment of progressive capitalism, which is increasingly taking on people in a holistic way. Karl Polanyi (1886-1964), a Hungarian economic historian, vividly traced the history of the development of capitalism in his book 'The Great Transformation '1: P.110 ff. [...] 'The more complicated industrial production became, the more numerous became the factors of production whose existence had to be secured. Three of these were [...] of the utmost importance: labour, land and money. In a commercial society, availability could only be guaranteed in one way: by making it purchasable. It therefore had to be organised in such a way that it was for sale on the market, in other words, that it was considered a commodity'. [...] 'One of the three factors stands out in particular: labour power is the terminus technicus for people insofar as they are not employers but employees. It follows that from then on the organisation of labour had to adapt to the developments of the market system. But since the organisation of labour is merely another name for the forms of life of the common people, this means that the development of the market system had to be accompanied by a change in the social organisation itself. In the course of this development, human society had degenerated into an accessory of the economic system.'[...]. P. 224 ff. [...] 'To separate labour from other activities of life and to subject it to the law of the market means to extinguish all organisational forms of being and to replace them by another form of organisation, an atomistic and individualistic form. Such a destructive scheme is best served by applying the principle of freedom of contract. In practice, this means that non-contractual forms such as kinship, neighbourhood, profession and confession had to be liquidated, since they demanded loyalty and devotion from the individual and thus restricted his freedom. If this is presented as the principle of non-interference, as the supporters of economic liberalism used to do, it was nothing other than the expression of a deep-rooted, [...] certain kind of interference, namely one that was intended to destroy the non-contractual relationships between people and prevent their spontaneous re-formation. This effect of establishing a labour market is clearly visible in colonial territories today. The natives are to be forced to earn their living by selling their labour. To this end, their traditional institutions must be destroyed and their re-establishment prevented, since in a primitive society the individual is not usually threatened by hunger as long as the community as a whole does not fall into this situation. In the Kral land system of the Kaffirs, for example, impoverishment is impossible: Whoever needs help receives it unconditionally. No Kwakiutl has ever been in danger of going hungry. There is no hunger in societies that have the necessities of life. The principle of freedom from want was equally observed in the village community of India, and, let us add, also in almost every and every kind of social organisation of Europe till about the beginning of the 16th century.' [...] 'It is precisely the absence of the threat of individual hunger that makes primitive society in a certain sense more humane than market-economy society.'[...] 'Grotesquely enough, the white man's first contribution to the black man's world consisted mainly in familiarising him with the possible applications of the scourge of hunger. Thus the colonists could think of
cutting down the breadfruit trees to create an artificial food shortage, or they could impose a tax on the huts of the natives to force them to sell their labour'[...].
Neoliberal capitalism since 1985 (Parts)
Such an instrumentalisation and functionalisation of man puts 'The Economy' first and declares it a saviour, so that 'The Market' becomes a sacred cow. If a modern person accepts such an economic religion, the
perverse view that man is there for the economy and not, as is the case within a natural community organisation, the economy for man, becomes normalised in him. Chapter 2 The first chapter of the book makes it clear that for a transformation of today's culture into a natural democracy of symbiotic equal rights overcoming material problems is of secondary importance. Today's human beings primarily need a natural cultural vision and a biological philosophy of life that can serve as a guideline for the realisation of a natural self-organisation and a healthy community organisation. One source for such a guideline is the science of ethnology, which has studied numerous naturally organising communities and their habits of life over the last 150 years. Therefore, when it is spoken of a natural way of life, natural behaviour or natural social organisation in the following, this refers to the findings of ethnology and other scientific fields of research that deal with the self-organisation of human and earthly nature.
The natural political equilibrium and the human striving for security and freedom (Parts)
Within a natural community organisation, politics can be defined as the effort to balance the natural interests of human nature in order to achieve a balanced social and symbiotic self-organisation: 2. The YOU interests = the cultivation of companionships, friendships, partnerships and family relationships 3. The WE interests = the constructive cultural affinity, the empathic connection with all life and the development of a holistic world view To achieve this, both the small village and the large state must take into account the mutually complementary aspirations of all people for security and freedom in an appropriate manner. If, for whatever reason, a person strives for absolute security through an absolute order, he tragically excludes natural freedom from his endeavours and becomes an opponent of freedom, since he sees freedom only as an not welcome unsecurity in his life. The same applies to a human striving for absolute freedom, for which every natural order becomes an obstacle. As soon as a person therefore makes his relative natural needs and views absolute, the natural alternating poles of life within his self-organisation no longer complement each other, but are mutually exclusive. A unnatural ideological self-organisation of the absolutist kind can therefore have an extremely fatal effect on the self-organisation of a person, a village or an entire society. |
