Politics without politics

The culmination of the globalism brings to the scene and then propagates a spectacle where
democracies are severely famished of real diversity, and even of real identities. Britain, US, Germany have at best donned the hats of two parties for most of the postwar period. What a poverty and misery of political landscapes!
The second thought is of the misrepresentation of party through image design by public relations. The party that draws the support of the nationalist voters claims to be a liberal party in Russia. The party that continues the support it has inherited has continued much in the veins of conservative politics of the 80s in Britain and completely gave up on the promises and ideals of the social democrats. Estonia as an example has parties that are neither social democratic (the SDE), liberal (Reformi), nor center right (IRL). The claim is one the policies are something else entirely. There is no law that keeps parties from misrepresenting their product to their party members and voters.

Castration of Reason

Removal of the potential to mentally satisfy the self.
What no one dares to speak of. The halt to thinking seems so alien and unperceivable to the thinker and so feared that it does not appear.
I do not speak of meditation, I think of its opposite: stupor due to substance abuse. There is also another way: to provide the worst media programming that has no effect at all on will to truth, desire to know and the love of knowledge. Ideology and its propaganda.

Class war: the Two Fronts

Lumpen vs Lower Class

The violence in domestic and sexual abuse that limits growth, education, personal mastery and social mobility. The greed inherent in this social relation is fueled in great part by alcohol and substance abuse. The tendency in the lumpen class to want more is fueled and steered by the upper class to put additional pressure on the working class. The process of amelioration of the individual economic standing is advertised, programmed into the individual on every level, along with it the fear of losing the little one owns. Also the act of saturday shopping binge in an orgy of consumerism that blinds one from the true state of reality (exploitation and suffering) is an act that carries a risk to lose the properties purchased due to crime from the lumpen. It is also an act of frivolous, manic gambling.

Upper Class vs Lower Class

The upper class gain from the adversities and the misery of various addictions and compulsions. The lower class (the modern service workers) is on the receiving end of the following list:
  1. Military Industrial Complex - wars
  2. Prison Industrial Complex - drug addiction
  3. Alcohol industry - alcoholism
  4. Fast-food and Sweet Industry - obesity

Capitalism causes stress

Stress is the tool used by capitalism to keep people in wage-slavery and poverty while they still run to work, protect the wealth of the rich and so on. Because stress and anxiety reduces the person's higher cognitive functions - in fact cutting them off in many cases completely.
  So it employs the mechanism stress-makes-stupid(stress induced cognitive dysfunction) to keep itself in business. People do not wake up from this even though everyone who gets it is days away from a cure!

It is also possible that the stress mentioned as a result of capitalist-globalist practices in Thailand is also there in any change of state of the economic structure. Indeed one can draw parallels with the extreme persistent anxiety in the totalitarian societies or oppressed colonies.

Reverse Engineering Alienation

Alienation is one of the core antipatterns of capitalism. As it is possible that capitalism is here to stay. If it can self-correct and improve on the present condition then the revolution, should it be inevitable without such a cure, may be obviated. Not quite saying that there is possibility to solve the grand problem of capitalism - the class "warfare."
One of the main causes of drudgery and boring routine at work is the inherent alienation. So could that be solved by the opposite process of humanisation?
Investment in emotionally charging work with drive for happiness could be derived from gamification of work. Also another path needs to be the creative empowerment of lower skill personnel, so that they are exposed to the creative processes in improving the business and the products and services as contributors. That would also incentivise lifelong education.
