Impersonal with a structure in instant change due to the speed reached by the movement - thoughts and atoms, capitalism allows itself to move and sets everything in motion in a way that suits it, unpredictable and schizophrenic, abstract, creating commodities from our relationships, for which we fight fiercely, it is the insatiable evil of the deity to which we make daily sacrifices like the tribes from the movie "Apocalypto”. The ruler who multiplies endlessly (in the reproduction of capital, everything is harnessed, without any residue: the searched product, the desire of the other, "the fetish that never gives an explanation" (Roland Barthes), conquering language, sign, trace, to architecture, city, country, including religion, science, art, capitalism eventually became the only vision of the future, unimaginable except as a post-apocalyptic, dystopian time returned to the beginning, when the hordes were organized, tomorrow will to be gangs similar to those oppressing the Congo today in the struggle for resources that they exploit and sell to the West on the black market.
Instead of accepting to present (which is, of course, a suggestive narrative) capitalism with a gothic tale about a vampire who, sucking fresh blood, leaves behind zombies - thus: dumb people without the power of speech, that deposited organism that is something between a junkie and a homeless person, addicted to fentanyl in to the deep alienation in the middle of the street which is the zone of renegades - we should try with a text that, imitating Las Vegas in appropriating world symbols that are caricatured by capitalism, will bring everything baroque to kitsch, the performance of profit, the saturation with which the porcelain rococo was represented, since - the city of sin in in the heart of the desert (territory of the future), looking deeper, really - a postmodern city, which managed to place the symbols of the world in parentheses. (What happens in just one night in Las Vegas, including the marketing marriages of celebrities that don't even last half a year, is disorientation due to the freedom with which we are affected, trapped in a capitalist order that artificially satisfies the desires on the way to pleasure (enjoyment) kill pleasure. If, therefore, we were to go all the way (if, therefore, we were to insist, like pornography, on canceling the sign in the transfer), we could describe capitalism as: a dead millionaire who is cosmetically arranged before his corpse is cremated in Las Vegas (where, otherwise , the author of this text wished that one day he would find his eternal rest!)
After, therefore, socialist hard realism (communism in which everything was work, order, discipline and the "self-managing labor system" of those beings outside of politics who were one factory, industrial community with a mechanized spirit without metaphor, difference, individuality, which is to say - not capitalism, communism is the height of obscenity), we are rushed into capitalist schizophrenia (the debt owed to Deleuze & Fortune teller, economically speaking, is growing every day, especially if we only now understand why Deleuze called the current programmers Spinozism without even being aware of it, etc.), into a frantic order of acceleration of hyperproduction, into hoarding and spending, into intemperance due to the shadow new uncertainties (Jürgen Habermas), which exposes us as ontological scum and pigs that devour their own hooves. This is why ceremonies are necessary - a noisy bacchanalia, a post-pagan ritual, saturation with all forms of modern intemperance, which is expressed in technological dominance and nudity of the body at the table, which has the most of the Roman orgy, drunkenness, madness that erupts from the fornication of death.
Ayn Rand he makes a huge mistake, because when he says that "wealth is man's ability to think", the question remains: how does he think? Against all logic, common sense, conditions of the situation, that is to say, to always engage in hazardism, betting, risk and gambling, because that is the character of capitalism: not to acquire, but to throw ourselves into circulation, into the roller coaster of reality, drawing there's adrenaline, from movement in change.
The movie "American fraud” (the original name was “American shit”, and incomparably better, however, he had to suffer censorship which paid off because he earned incomparably more than he invested in himself as a project), is a story that connects an FBI agent, brokers and mobsters, plus a very intelligent lover who is a being of the act, so it all describes a world of cruelty that deals with something so enchanting, constantly raising the stakes to life and death. The edge that capitalism brings us to is very challenging, the real experience is to feel that the abyss is watching us. With that, we would constantly expand the experience, which virtual reality now allows us, and the last completely failed performance Marine Abramović, reveals that the artist (I allow myself the risk of saying: probably without knowing it), is against Leibniz who says: "Perception should be sought in a simple substance, not in a compound or a machine", in the search for expanded perception, recognized the advantage of the machine, assembly and virtualization that turns the entire reality into a game, into an unrealized process where there are no limits. Post-capitalism triumphs here, as the border it crossed, going beyond, into the artificial, simulation, digitalization of the body, touch, smell; a cybernetic-clinical landscape into which we enter as if into an operating whiteness, from which consciousness sees that all reality is finite, and with it the illusion.
The artificial atmosphere from which alienation radiates heralds the birth of a scientific, artificial body (Silicon Valley and debiologicalization, Cern and the antiparticle, that combination is a project future without being), machine and code, for which, to tell the truth, one feels passion; to deny the past, to get out of the ontological accident and dematerialize as a trace and reflection, to ventilate hygienically, but before that, it is necessary to use up everything, to transfer all supplies and resources into material on which we will live to the maximum. We currently have one staying with us So sad and programmer, IT expert and sadist, that's why in some projects we can see how the story slowly develops around the hero who works impeccably in the company during the day as a real professional (a blasé model with a panic fear of bacteria), while at night he indulges in orgies with cheap prostitutes who migrant women fled from the Eastern bloc in search of the promised life. Author of the successful book "Capitalist realism" (Is there no alternative??), is still wrong, because if we once again portray capitalism as something fundamentally inconsistent and unsustainable, we do not question it in the least, precisely because it acts as a true power that no criticism can do anything about, on the contrary: criticism is the opinion produced by capitalism. The global state is his work; the return of fascism, the war for resources, the increasingly tangible threat that comes from artificial intelligence, the question of the survival of the shell of the species, and so on, are the reality we are in, no one and nothing is exempt, capitalism itself is bringing itself to an end in order to save itself in this way , since only crises and conflicts have continuity, in that we should think - peace: there is no such thing as peace as harmony, it is always attacking, calculating and calculating, the intelligence of interest which is beastly and predatory, or, as the moralist puts it , stylist and reactionary, Sioran - ”orgasm transforms a saint into a wolf. "
So, the lesson that we really have to finally master is the one that was given to Jordan in the restaurant at the top of the New York skyscraper (film The Wolf of Wall Street) by broker Mark Hanna, however, that meme reader must watch for themselves, as the masterpiece is packed into just a few minutes.
