It's The World I Know

Everyone knows the bourgeoisie and the proletariat classes, even if only as the elite versus everyone else. Most know the petit bourgeoisie and the peasantry, even if only as the middle class versus the homeless and destitute. Few know or accept that there is both a lumpenbourgeoisie and a lumpenproletariat, those declassed and operating outside the primary wage relation, from criminal networks at the top to the dispossessed at the bottom. The proletariat and peasantry are seen as one group by the capitalist system: the wage-slaves. Making the various bourgeoisie classes the wage-masters, though the criminal strata exist at every level, from Epstein's networks to the street corner and the trailer park.

Steinbeck supposedly coined the term "embarrassed millionaires," and I say he left out two groups among the wage-slave class: the "embarrassed masters" and "embarrassed politicians." Those people who think they are down on their luck and just one break away from being a millionaire, a master, or a politician, and then they can have the freedom and control, while elevating themselves finally from those they believe they are better than. They may be wage-slaves but they are no ally to the wage-slave.

On top of it, various theory touched on the possibility but retreated from the idea that the majority of the population could become lumpenproletariat. I have said from lived material conditions and lived experience that capitalism has made dark triad personalities normal, and that vices, sins, arishadvarga, kleshas, panj chor, and so on have been made into values that have infected every culture, not that all cultures did not have their flaws but capitalism accelerated and weaponized those flaws. Most of the population now leans toward one of the following philosophical-ideological views: fascism, kratocracy, avaritionism, Spencerianism, anarcho-capitalism, or Stirnerism. Which are clear signs of both the dark triad and of those infectious character deformations.

Politics are as much psychological as they are material. The libertarian, the anarcho puts themselves first, but the right libertarian tends not to care who gets hurt in the process, while left libertarians tend toward transactional or stirnerist quid pro quo solidarity rather than principled humane commitment. The authoritarian is about centralized or state control but the right authoritarian does not care who gets hurt as long as their group has control, to where the left is more parental or guardianship minded.

Sure, the right may use tactics that occasionally suggest otherwise, but it is strategy. The political compass on the right is split between the psychology of despotism and Machiavellianism in the authoritarian quadrant, which is where the fascist and kratocratic reside. It is also split between the sociopathic and psychopathic in the libertarian quadrant, where the avaritionist and anarcho-capitalist reside. The economic axis running left to right is communalist to Spencerian. The social axis running top to bottom is statist to Stirnerist. The moral axis running from authoritarian-left to libertarian-right is altruistic to solipsistic. The will axis running from libertarian-left to authoritarian-right is insouciant to kratocratic.

It might not be politically correct. It might be taboo, including in anti-capitalist movements. But that does not make it any less true. I stand by what I said. As long as the left refuses to set principled standards, vet its membership, and confront the psychological and ethical deformations produced by living under bourgeois existence, we are never going to win.

Capitalism has massively expanded layers of the population with unstable, precarious, or declassed relations to production. The gig economy, chronic precarity, automation-driven displacement, and a growing surplus population rendered redundant to capital's needs have produced ideological instability, atomization, false consciousness, and vulnerability to dark triad-influenced appeals rather than unified class consciousness. This is not universal moral failing but a material product of neoliberal restructuring. Organizing this layer requires disciplined ideological struggle, not liberal tailism.

The need for a one-party global socialist republic that re-educates and rehabilitates has never been clearer. We must abolish the sectarian political identities that divide us, and heavily regulate those that cannot be abolished. It is the only way we will achieve our collective oneness and shared obligatory stewardship. The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, like many indigenous societies around the globe, knew it, and the Third Communist International knew it before they stopped condemning, criticizing, and vetting, and decided to welcome anyone in through their power-grab unified front big tent, which has since collapsed from failure to build a foundational structure of worthy material character.

Ultra, immoderately inordinate democratic centralism must be how we enforce decisions. There are no exceptions or compromises once a decision is made; you do what it takes to make it work. Decisions are made after hearing all arguments, bad faith and illogical arguments are discarded, and everything else is corrected before passing. The liberal democracy mentality where people place themselves above the collective has no place and can no longer be allowed to endanger humanity or the planet.

Per sanguinem et iurgia, gladium et catenas aufer; percute deos ac dominos. Tutus in undis inter chaos, ultra quod est trudas oportet ad quod debet esse. Unus populus unitum, cum obligatoriae villicationis erga homines et planetas, per nos, alveare mentis.

(We offer revolutionary greetings. I am because we are: a community with one voice, living in harmony, balance, and peace, as a family with shared consciousness of our interconnectedness and oneness. Through blood and strife, take away the sword and chains; strike the gods and masters. Safe on the waves amidst chaos, beyond what is, you must push toward what ought to be. One people united, with obligatory stewardship toward humanity and the planet, through us, a hive of minds.)

Who objects to the above? Only the dark triad evil minds, the mentally ill, and the indoctrinated.

Further empirical, historical, and psychological analysis is welcomed and encouraged. Marx and Engels built off others, Lenin built off them, and others built of Lenin. We have an entire Marxist-Leninist tree. Continue building on this branch if you're willing and able; the material is scattered before us all.
