The author of this piece draws on the insights of past cultural critics to deconstruct the present ideological fog machine that the capitalist ruling class is using to cloud our minds with material like the following:.
The recent rendition begins with 9/11. The world consists of large numbers of persons of color, especially Muslims, who want to kill us. We need to kill them first. Preemptive attack on those who we would expect to hate us is OK. International Law says so. U.S. diplomatic history says so.And he concludes with this important insight:
Why should we be afraid? Why should we be prepared to kill? We must be vigilant because they hate our freedom. They want to destroy the natural evolution of societies from autocracies to market-based democracies. We must be fearful, vengeful, and ready to act for the benefit of the world.
We need to convince our brothers and sisters that killing and capitalism alike are antithetical to human needs.
