THE CORRECT INTERPRETATION OF THE STATE OF WORLD AFFAIRS AND WHAT IT ALL MEANS.
(#China #Russia #Ukraine #WorldwarIII #TheFuture)
French Sociologist and Historian Emmanuel Todd is making the rounds, explaining that the war of Russia and China against the West with Ukraine as the short term proxy, is resulting in a war of authoritarian *industrial producers* against *neoliberal financial and legal services*. And that in a war of material production, GDP figures are deeply misleading. Either you have the capacity to produce war materiel, energy, and food, or you do not.

At present the West does not – it’s exported production in favor of cheap prices for the upper half at the cost of the lower half in the near term risking the their populations in the long term.

And, which government can adapt an economy more quickly? Those with underpaid labor commanded by authority, or those with highly paid labor in markets only influenced by a government? The west is outmached in what matters: the lower half’s ability to produce weapons, energy, and food. (China’s vulnerability not withstanding, when neutralized by Russia’s invulnerability.)

The USA can fight a two front war as long as one is land (russia) and one is naval (china), but that’s about it. And I question if we have the manufacturing capacity sufficient to transform from a smaller number of highly precise weapons for ‘policing’ the international system of finance, transport, and trade, to fighting to defend the benefits of that international system of transport and trade – when most countries depend on it, but free ride on our western (US) military forces.

Now, I see, I believe correctly, this war as a continuation of the world wars, which consist of the transformation from land-based agrarian empires, to industrial based federations of nation states. So obviously, there remain backward governments in Russia, China, Iran, and South Korea (and I won’t touch the border problems in the middle east or africa).

So the continuation of the world war transformation, the falsification of ‘globalism’ in the absence of global success at transforming from empires to federations, my understanding mirrors at least to some degree Todd’s: that this is the final stage of the world wars, and we will see the future as federations of self determinant nation states who depend on eachother for trade, or a collapse back to pre-war empires and colonies who each war for resources instead of trade.

Why does this matter? Human beings will, whenever possible seek prosperity and the autonomy (freedom) to exercise it. So the drive for nation states, the resulting necessity of federations, is the evolutionary direction of mankind, and every other just burns down the clock on an ecology, climate, geology, sun, solar systm, and universe that tries to drive us to extinction with disturbing frequency. So, what I have in mind, what I rationally fear, is that the primitive middle east destroyed the ancient and classical world causing two thousand years of stagnation before europeans once again recovered enough to restore our earlier pace of evolution of man.

So let’s not repeat that process. We are already half way through a repetatiion of the christian desturction of rome and the classical world, with the reformation of judaism in the form of Marxist class hatred -neoMarxism cultura hatred -Postmodernism truth hatred -Feminism man hatred -PC/Woke Race hatred. The religions of hate are just luddisms that beckon another dark age.

The logical consequence of the plagues in the ancient world, like the medieval, is to produce machinery that we had already the technology for, but human (animal) labor was still too cheap. Had it not been for the primitivism of the middle east, destroying seven great civilizations of the ancient world, just as marxism has incremetally destroyed civilizations of the modern, mankind would already be in the stars.
