Dear comrades / A repetition that is not necessary.

Dear comrades, if you consider me a comrade of course (this question is being played).

We have become entangled in neo-Hegelian post-Hegelian religio-theological entanglements, in the precincts of a non-existent court of History, without even knowing and admitting this fact, and we must now re-remember basic principles of real non-theology and non-belief, to face the real world but also our problem as a problem of disguised superstition.

Is it a bit late?

Or will Nietzsche's controversial contributions, also of the psychoanalysis, art and post-art help us untangle this tangle?

I think that especially these last "reinforcements" probably made things worse: A zealouses secularized religion, the latest radicalism, when it uses and instrumentalizes "dissolving" "destructive" elements, manages to confuse itself worse, succeeds in ceasing to have the simple-simplistic features of religion, remaining however religion, altering even these "dissolving-destructive" elements.

A repetition that is not necessary.

The emergence of the Western (imperialist-capitalist) world contained all the horrors that accompany such emergences from an older exploitative-dominant world into a newer one.

There is no necessity for all mankind to pass -in one part of it, the same horrible road.

If the rise of the West contained a historical necessity and in terms of the gruesome forms it would necessarily contain, this historical (and non-moral) necessity no longer exists.

There is no "right" to repeat a horrible necessity, nor must our world first become multi-polar by overcoming the mono-polarity of the West before it becomes non-polar non-dominant.

There is no general "right" to the repetition of all forms of primary capitalist and imperialist accumulation, or of some primary accumulation of Dominion, because "once upon a time all these first-existed in the West," just as there is no "right" to the repetition of a rape even against a former rapist (at the level of the primary accumulations mentioned above).

The left that recognizes these "rights" on the basis of an ideology or an indirect "understanding" of the would-be new Sovereigns, rushers, proto-imperialists, who "also, want to...", is a deranged left that instead of asking to gain time with a non-repetition, it asks for "understanding" of the desire of some formerly oppressed or "oppressed" to rape working classes, nations, entire peoples.

Well, yes, we don't want a multi-polarity instead of the western mono-polarism, so that we lose another 2-3 centuries, we ask for socialism now, everywhere, workers' self-management, abolition of the system of wage labor, now, crushing of the patriarchy, now, or if it can't be done "now" we want to not go back 2 centuries for the "new sovereign nations" to do their term in mass death and expansions in territories etc.
