Three moments of fantasy

First as a Pathology
No consciousness of the formation of fantasy, it may seem as the reality, or it could obscure the sense of reality.

Second as Illusion
While there is still no consciousness of the fantasy, it is therefore based on assumption of reality of this illusion, it is deliberately created to explain reality in a some frameworks. 

Third as Creativity
Fantasy is employed consciously in creative pursuits.

Bloody revolutions and nonviolent revolutions

While revolutions are an aspect of historical change and also a change of the form of economics it is an aspect of usurpation by war that seems of doubtful structure. If the best wars are those where soldiers do not fight then the best revolutions are the ones where power is exchanged without bloodletting. However the resulting civil war that counters the revolution and seems at first an integral part of the revolution at the same time makes this idea a difficult one to achieve. The more lives that are saved, the more effort is invested into organisation. The second difficulty is the already established form of revolution, where one side to a more or less extent copycats the previous themes.

Communists and extreme leftists have advocated violence.  However science shows that nonviolent struggle is twice as often effective as do violent struggles.

If violence was used to bring in a new form of society, that society may succumb to further internal conflicts that were congenital in its formation. This is a question that should be investigated.

Betrayal of the labour

The relationship of brotherhood among labourers is under question  when labour chooses to strike to improve their condition - they are digging themselves into further worry and dread and misery of capitalism accepting the system as it is, making sure that the shackles are ever faster, that the bond of wage-slavery perpetuates into the future. The better the conditions are the more the status qua is strengthened. The better the workers conditions get the more willing are they to fight in capitalist intra fights rather than for the emancipation point when all the people have a right to vote on issues of productions and use of the means of production.
This seems paradoxical as strikes that are organised as part of a spectacle of the general strikes can show a way towards a revolution. Summing up this yearning for a better life that has shown as an effective tool of social democrats, paradoxically could lead to a revolution.

Production of the mythology of competitive nature

Not all societies are hierarchies of competitive humans. For example hunter-gatherers. While it is exists in the relations of capitalist mode of production. It is missing in programmer lead companies. While the company itself ultimately is there to make money, it is not run by the managers or runs the mangers off the shopfloor in a worker lead coup. Again in the same scenery we have a formidable economic task of comparing the productivity of two programmers who are good or the programmer who is mediocre and the one who is excellent. One may produce very little but if the algorithms are sound they could weigh up thousands of times their amount of superficial code.

The Great Tranquility

People go about their business, regardless of the neoliberal, conservative doggy-dos. People too ashamed, to call for the no confidence. People who submit to the everyday pathology of militarism(military games, production of war scenarios). People who accept the deals fed to them. People whose gut instinct tells them that something is missing in the perspective that they see. People who see through a slit, a small sliver of the world. People who cannot put the worldview together. People whose reason does not give even a slightest sense of meaning. People who see nothing outside the tramlined destiny that is provided for them by the establishment. People who are taught and catered by the everpresent propaganda to dislike the different. People who do not know where they are. People who are constantly in a mild sense of disturbance. People who have no idea of how much they could achieve. Those people are in a state of tranquility spoon-fed by those who provide the Great Tranquility with how things are to appear to the people. A peaceful dream.

A real dream is that one day there is an awakening. And a further radical reduction of hostilities and aggression once furnished by the military elites can occur.

The tranquility forms as a the result of application of social pacifiers that are part of the control mechanisms of the power-elite.

When people are made to witness the brutality of torture as an acceptable event for the liberal democracy, a peaceful nightmare does fine for a dream. For any dream will now do.

Production of the mythology of job creation

Another one got debunked today!
Released through TED, then censored. In reality the capitalists create jobs in response to demand not because of altruism, but the profit motive.
When the elites get tax exemptions job creation should go up according to this myth. The numbers tell a different story however.

In Silence when the corporations march over us

I need more orders in my corporation. It is so well run I never see His words written, or spoken. Sometimes I make daily requests. But the response is always Silence. Sometimes I am in Silence. Then we are together. The only thing to recall then is that we are together even in times when I suffer. Fot that glimpse I am greatful.

This is my effort to have different views at what the worls is made of at one point commercialisation of innovation, at another a sweatshop. At one point it magnetises the clever at another it makes people so stressed they start to repeat without reflection as to effects and flow of what they do. Subsequently they begin to feel that they enjoy this and lose their powers of functional cognition.

Economic Indulgences

Today the very large international corporations begin to get "indulgences" from law. They are becoming superjudicial, exempted from legal reach. Why does the principle of Magna Carta have no effect here? Would this not inspire a similar popular action against the power-elite?

Paradox of communist-run-capitalism and capitalist-run-communism.

In the fog of the morning, in the shivers of the dusk a strange beast is roaring. Its core is the fire of guns, its lore is a bellicose rhetoric. 

In China communists run capitalist cities and special areas designated for business, they do it better than the established capitalists of the West, according to Zizek. Why not if the growth of economies is taken as an indication of such success?

The other fact is that amid this progress, it is the capitalist areas that run the communist areas with funding, and these areas have come to a lack of both funds and adequate recourse to sustainability.

Yet another aspect of the capitalists running the communist communes is the way that the world in its mostly liberal democratic politics makes room and even benefits from admitting their presence on the world's political scene. 

With public relations and marketing everything becomes profitable. For example the green capital is reduced by business interests new interests evolve to reduce this degradation of green capital.

When democratic socialists created a socialism in Scandinavia they did better than the soviet socialists in The Soviet Union.

Immersive immiserations

Immediate immoral impact of the actions of those who act for the consciousness of the class on the society in its dreams - aspirations towards the simulated beauty, or megalomanic power trips; are here to waken the society again and again towards a flowering of enlightenment. From manure to diamonds. A new morality forms. It keeps on washing the laundry or historical tapestries if you like, of the discourse of power.
With every Occupation, with every Spring, with every May.

Economic, social and cultural dimensions for class

Going slightly against the thesis that there are in fact three dimensions to class differences, it is to be observed that the elites should be further divided by how they use their wealth or in other words - what financial mechanics and  means-of-capital do they employ. For example to garner extra social capital the cultural elite can participate in protests against war. While the social-economic elites can make further economic gains by supporting conflicts and warmongering. As these are exactly opposite to each other we can see that the elites must contain different groups. It is also possible that one group works as a mask for the other, the shadow is masked by the cultural elite (Bono and Lennon, et al).

Another issue is the class of technical middle class that is in "social apathy" while some might have in their disposal large tools of social manipulation. For example Edward Bernays. In his book Propaganda he says "We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Do they have social capital or not?
