Every wrong contains a degree of subjective guilt..

Every wrong contains a degree of subjective guilt, not absolute guilt, since there is always a heterodetermining system that co-creates ('with' the subject) that wrong.

When the guilty (individual or collective) subjectivity recognizes its mistake, openly and without excuses, then it can correct it and not repeat it.

After the self-destruction of the authoritarian and exploitative statist system of bureaucratic "socialism" (Soviet Union, etc.), but also before its fall (by anti-Stalinist leftists and anarchists) the left and anarchism sought to find "what was wrong'' and who was its subjective bearer (on a macroscopic historical-subjective and micro-subjective level).

The variously and polymorphously unified answer of all was that the fault was again capitalism, or (in a more anarcho-communist version) capitalism plus the abstract structure: ''State''.

Even when capitalism was not defined by some directly as directly responsible, e.g. the Trotskyists, the bearer of the error was responsible because it brought capitalism "through the back door" (bureaucratic Bonapartism which ultimately leads to capitalism, etc.) .

When Stalin died and his potential successors were neutralized (a similar thing happened with Mao), those who remained loyal to the Stalinist version of state authoritarianism accused their opponents of introducing capitalism (this is what all Maoists did after Stalin's death, but, also, after the death of Mao and the neutralization of his widow who wanted to continue the Maoist version of state authoritarianism).

But there were also the far-left "workers' council" anti-Leninist communists, such as Pannekoek and Gorter, who believed that bureaucratic "socialism" was from its inception a "state capitalism", again..capitalism.

Some Leninists, who were not Trotskyists though, thought (and still think) that in "socialism" after Lenin there was a return to capitalism as "state capitalism".

The anarchists, from a distance, believed that all the evil happened because the authoritarian structure of the "state" was maintained, but they also (most of them), believed and still believe that the result of ideological and political submission to the institution of the state, had as a direct result the rapid predominance of..capitalism, state capitalism or as they call it in their slang, the predominance of the nexus "[state] Capital-State".

Ugh.

As you understood, it is all the fault of the enemy, satanic capitalism, which was able, through its flexibility and known indirectness, like any satanic spirit, to penetrate the insufficiently virtuous souls of believers.

If this thing comrades is "self-criticism" then there is no doubt, I am the Caliph of Baghdad.

In order to fight capitalism and statism again with sufficiency and new strength, we must, in addition to capitalism itself, strictly judge ourselves, not (only) because the leftists retreated to the capitalism (again some others, not us! from the other leftist sect ), so it's not just capitalism and its disguises that are to blame for every stupid thing we've done, but also us, not completely, but somewhere and in something.

Socialism.

The social historical effort to replace property and dominance, demands an increase in the active practice of (working) people at the level of both rights and responsibilities:

1.

Regarding the administration of the separate economic units and the entire economy/production.

2.

As for the administration of each separate political and social institution and the set of social and political institutions.

--

The "property-dominance" nexus (even if it is defined as social "property-dominance") deprives the majority of society of the rights to actively manage material resources and institutional structures, but at the same time this means absolving the corresponding responsibilities and actions (for this majority).

The abolition of individual and oligarchic forms of "property-dominion" does not mean automatic ability and disposal of administration and management energy on the part of subjects deprived of (these properties) due to the pre-existing structure.

An unprecedented and very rapid training and practical undertaking of actions is required to immediately cover the gap that will be left by the non-existence of the previous structure.

A basic ideological and practical condition for covering the structural vacuum that will result from the abolition of individualistic and oligarchic institutions is a deep open and extensive democracy, which, however, will not be understood or acted as it is usually understood and acted (until now) by the radicals circles, as an inductive mass generalization of some form of direct democracy of local and workers' councils.

Democracy was and will remain a totality, which as made up of many small institutional "cells" does not stop having to function as a totality that must be directed as a totality in itself.

The democracy of the councils will again end up in a one-party dictatorship if it is not continuously subject to a large representative assembly of freely elected representatives who, although elected and immediately recalled, must constitute a solidly founded institutional body with critical responsibilities and powers.

The abolition of private ownership of the means of production and material resources.

The abolition of private ownership of the means of production and material resources necessary for the reproduction of human life, although a necessary condition for the transition to a socialist social and economic system, does not in itself constitute the fulfillment of all the conditions for there to exist this system.

When the original socialists and communists set this negative condition, most of them talking about the abolition of private ownership of wealth primarily through the abolition of private ownership of the means of production, they defined the new system by a positive term: social-public ownership of the means of production .

This is a false and alienating definition if we are talking about real socialism.

Socialism, if it is real and not bureaucratic, by abolishing individual property does not replace it with another property, since the term property itself is intertwined with a form of individual or oligarchic rule of the distribution of the production process and its products.

Socialism will only come if it means in practice the complete replacement of all ownership and appropriation by the collective management and self-management of all social affairs, equality of pay, the weakening and even the abolition of hierarchical divisions in their practice and management.

When you refuse to equate the (less-than-worst-of) evil with the worse-than-that evil, this does not mean that you identify the lesser evil with something that is thereby the better of that which is worse than it.

The lesser evil is not necessarily defined as something "better".

And in this way, which if you pay attention to it is not so difficult to understand, I choose the Western and not the non-Western world, as it is currently constituted as a world.

There is also a more positive form of what I just said, but I ultimately prefer the negative pessimistic form of choosing between dominant structures, because as a thinking citizen I must think as coldly as possible about evil and vice versa, i.e. without idealization.

Thoughts

 

Some, not a few—perhaps most of the followers of the great (always maleish) Ideas— whose minute hand is stuck to a certain time-moment, they think, so pitifully, that when the time (of history) passes from this moment of time, they are vindicated!

Stop at last with the "truth" that will be revealed when the masks fall.

All the ideologues, this is what they proclaim, that they will drop the masks, that the masks will fall.

Sorry to upset you, but such truth does not deserve to be called truth, whatever forcibly threw off a mask with such a declaration wanted to build an eternal mask, so says the famous (Hegelian or not) History.

Waiting to drop the enemy's mask, when that enemy can no longer keep it on his face, you put your own mask on him, duplicated.

In short, anyone who claims that the crimes of the Soviet Union in the Caucasus, in the Ukraine, in its southern Russian countryside, from the time of Lenin, not only after, have no connection with Soviet Communism, from its inception onwards, and incriminates only the tsarists, who were and are now being burdened as neo-tsarists with equally inhumane mass crimes, one thing is, a Liar. 

Also Liar is who is -certainly- the liar who acquits the mass murderer Bandera (the Poles, who are now friends of Ukraine, they know, and they don't give their dead who were exterminated en masse by this fascist, to the lie).

So let go of the great truths, and see the guilt that all these great YOUR ''truths'' carry.

To Iranian Friends.

Be careful, get rid of the theocratic regime, without the Shah sitting on your head (again), and put the term "capitalist" as many times as you want on this regime, before you crush it or after.

Do your Marxist rites, cast your anti-capitalist curses, curse the West too, lest you sin of the great sin of pro-imperialism, it will be a shame to be maligned by your left-wing comrades in the West, though they neither care nor have strong feelings about you, nor did they show any remarkable solidarity towards your struggle, while some liberals I know, even right-wing ones, care about, while for your comrades you exist as "tea and sympathy", still at least, because if you take the power with the blood and sacrifice of youngs of Iran, well, then, even Varoufakis will visit the new Iran.

Give the Ukrainians the more modern weapons.

I am for the completion of the war with the total defeat of the Russians.

I'm not a pacifist.

The Russian empire of the whip should finally be dissolved, that China should enter its middle-to-down place in the relations of power until it is democratized, that the state unity of Turkey should be broken, the theocratic regime of Tehran should be destroyed.

When I hear that "masks must fall", I think that you are trying to put on the mask of eternal truth, to you stick to us eternally over our heads.

The "Light from the East" today is pro-Western, and hates the fascist propaganda and act of "multipolarity".

The emergence of non-Western imperialism-capitalism as a would-be new super-pole of global Dominance is perfectly symmetrical with the emergence of neo-fascism within the Western imperialist-capitalist world.

End of story.

Until capitalism and social inequality are abolished, the West must have the most Power and Dominance on the planet.

I don't make fun of myself, nor my friends, when I take a position in politics.

What a fuck!

I will immigrate to the USA, to make a point to idiot comrades, we vote for Democrats, without Marxist sophistry!!

In fact, by voting for the Democrats, we are simultaneously voting against each of their "left wing", voting for their most aggressive centrist wing that wants to oppose directly the extreme right in the West, China, Russia.

Simple as that, no more bullshit.

Postscript.

To the Democrats themselves I would say:

Throw the far-left morons out of the store!

If the purpose is "holy" the means of its realization will always be "dirty", oh clever Marxists!!!

I answer with clarity to forced dilemmas, I don't resort to sophistry to answer only in practice but not in my Speech.

I will not answer your sophistry, dear Michael, I don't need Marxism to make a strategic ideological policy and value decision.

The lives of everyday people would be better without forced and negative dilemmas, but if you see the world through the eyes of these people, you must answer clearly, also through your Speech.

I am simple, straightforward, clear and honest with you.

If presented with a dilemma that must be answered, between imperialist West and imperialist East, I openly choose imperialist West.

The conclusion of a lifetime, along with other conclusions.

Αντιστροφή (8). Finally stop use Hegel's name, at least do this.

There are those who define themselves as "dialectical" Judges of values, but usually they do not hold the balance correctly, they tilt it.

They judge, for example, the values proclaimed by the "West", that if they have meaning, they only have meaning in reference to the specific material-social (therefore also ideological) conditions.

So, for these silly and dangerous anti-democratic sophists, these values (democracy, freedom, equality, secularism, etc.) before they are even corrupted by class capitalist use are already weak, "abstract" as they say.

But when they refer to the value, their own value, of anti-imperialism or even anti-capitalism, then they see this value as already strong in its beginning, before it undergoes the alterations of its time-to-time alterationmakers, such as the -according to their words- "opportunists" "nationalists pseudo-anti-imperialists" "campists" and other various alterers of an initially already non-alienated Idea that only after its "bad use" is altered and alienated.

You See?

Their own values are afflicted by hypocrites and alienators, although originally pure, while the values of the accursed West are weak, half-alienated from their initial inception, before they are abused by hypocrites, etc.

I caught you a Marxist/anarchist, you are a professional Liar.

Finally stop use Hegel's name, at least do this.

Hegel was the hero of the defense of abstraction.

Αντιστροφή (7). The time has come to destroy both metaphysics..

The radical theorists of modernity demolished the Transcendentalism of Transcendent through a transcendentalized Immanence.

The time has come to destroy both metaphysics, that means to demolishe metaphysics of the Transcendentalism/Transcendent and also the metaphysics of the transcendentalized Immanence.

 Ιωάννης Τζανάκος

Αντιστροφή (6). Transcendentalism..

All the highest "holy" purposes fall into "dirty" means of their realization.

At least the Jesuits were telling half the truth, and don't tell me that as the Greek proverb says, "Half the truth is the biggest lie", because this is sometimes true and sometimes not true.

The Jesuits were telling a half-truth when they claimed that a holy purpose can sanctify the means of its realization (which may, therefore, be dishonorables), because they were telling the basic lie that there are "holy purposes".

You adventurers of modern revolutionism are of course not telling the whole truth, that is to say that there are NO "holy purposes" but only human-social purposes, and you are not telling this truth, i.e. you are lying, because you are concealing the production by you of yours "purpose'' as '''holy''.

You verbally disguise, by hiding it, the designation ''holy'' in ''purpose'' with various transcendental equivalents which nevertheless mean the same as the designation ''holy''.

Like the feudal-capitalist revolution of the partisan bureaucrats, it took the institution of "minister" and christened it (at first) "Commissar".

It was the same, but the adventurous revolutionaries of modernity changed its name!

Thus the "holy purpose" changed its name and received many other names that meant "holy", the Supreme, therefore the Transcendent.

This is not just a repetition of a "half-lie" that can be "half-truth", but it is an all-round complete spherical and brazen Lie, already in the "half" of the sentence born by the Jesuits (so their more complex sentences were 'translated').

Let's go now to the other "half" of the sentence:

The Jesuits speak of legitimate "dishonorable means" to realize the "holy end", so they accept that they approve of the use of some "dishonorable means" as long as they serve to realize a "holy end".

Do the modern super-revolutionaries accept that the "dishonorable means" they will use are really "dishonorable"?

I have seen neither in Trotsky's essay nor in Lukács' statements, an honest acceptance that "dishonorable means" are accepted for the realization of their "holy purpose", which, as we said, is not called "holy'' but through other names that hidden their transcendentalism.

As for the anarchists, things are simple, and they have one name: Netzaev.

They are open in their declarations that they will use all means, not really caring to even define them as "dishonest" or "honest".

And their own "holy goal", the destruction of the state, is also not defined by them as "holy", since the modern religion of anarchism throws into the "fire of hell" any transcendentalism, whether it has the name of the "state" or it has the name of "god" ("Neither God, nor State", they say).

But why is transcendence/transcendentalism considered by them to exist only in the (term and alienation) "God" and in the (term and alienation) "State"?

Did they "forget" something? But of course, they also "forgot" themselves, their "pure, always self-determined" and rather monstrously huge Ego.

Αντιστροφή (5). Mr. Lenin..

Mr. Lenin, the founder of state feudalcapitalism which has destroy us as radicals for a century and more, was on fire when he denounced the opportunism and adventurism in the labor left movement, but you intelligent believers or left-wing critics of Lenin (ultra-leftists and anarchist-autonomists), you still haven't "understood" that he was united with these unmoral attitudes, simply because you don't want your "common nature" with him to be revealed.

Lenin, like you, criticized opportunism-adventurism in relation to and in reference only to the "holy" goal of the workers' socialist-communist revolution with a perspective of society without exploitative social classes and without social classes in general (classless society).

It never occurred to you that there are NO "holy purposes", it never occurred to you that when you posit a social historical and class purpose as "holy" then it is inevitable that you fall into opportunism-adventurism and immoral purposelessness sectarian violence, as a means, to you do it.

Yes, you may not be an opportunist and an adventurer in relation to the "holy purpose", but since you have set it up as a "holy purpose", you will have opened the way for yourself to be an opportunist and an adventurer as to all other human affairs and their purposes.

Ένα από ερωτήματα που δεν τίθενται από τους θεωρητικούς εκείνους τού ριζοσπαστισμού, οι οποίοι ψάχνουν και ψάχνουν τον τρόπο να μην κλίνουν προς τον ένα ιμπεριαλισμό για να πολεμήσουν τον άλλον:

Γιατί άραγε μόνον ο μη Δυτικός ιμπεριαλισμός κτίζει μιαν αντιιμπεριαλιστική ιδεολογία; 

Θα πούνε, μα δεν είναι αυθεντική, αληθινή, βαθιά αντιιμπεριαλιστική ιδεολογία, τούτη η ιδεολογία των μη δυτικών ιμπεριαλιστών, οπότε τι σημασία έχει αυτό το κτίσιμο από την σκοπιά των όντως όντων; (μα φυσικά, δεν θα μιλούσαν έτσι ακριβώς, πλατωνικά).

Αλήθεια λέτε; Δεν έχει σημασία μια δομημένη σε κράτη και συνασπισμούς απόλυτη υποκρισία; 

Μα που είναι πια αυτή η δυτική υποκρισία, η περιλάλητη;

Λέτε, λένε ψέματα λοιπόν οι δυτικοί, για την ισότητα, την ελευθερία, την Δημοκρατία, όλα αυτά μάσκες είναι, φλούδες, στολίδια που κρύβουν το αποτρόπαιο πρόσωπο των δυτικών ιμπεριαλιστών, αλλά πείτε μου, αφού πρώτα σκεφτείτε καλά: 

Η μάσκα τού αντιιμπεριαλισμού, την οποία φοράνε σχεδόν αποκλειστικά οι εχθροί των δυτικών κυρίαρχων, οι μη δυτικοί κυρίαρχοι, είναι άραγε για σας πιο ελαφριά, πιο αληθινή από την δυτική μάσκα, αν και ψευδής;

Μήπως για σας αυτή η μάσκα κρύβει εν εαυτώ μιαν αλήθεια; 

Γιατί, αυτό υποψιάζομαι, ότι ενώ οι μάσκες των δυτικών παρουσιάζονται για σας ως μη έχουσες κάποιαν άλλη ουσία πέραν αυτών των αποτρόπαιων που κρύβουν από πίσω τους, την ίδια στιγμή οι μάσκες των μη δυτικών παρουσιάζονται αλλιώς, σαν να έχουν ενδογενή αξία, με την έννοια ότι κουβαλούν μιαν αλήθεια -έστω κακοποιημένη αφότου εισήλθε στον ρόλο του στοιχείου μιας μάσκας.

Διευκρινίζω πιο συγκεκριμένα την καχυποψία μου τούτη:

Η ελευθερία, η ισότητα, η δημοκρατία, δέχονται την ανηλεή κριτική σας ως τάχα ήδη-στην-έναρξη τους ασθενείς αφαιρέσεις που χρειάζονται το συγκεκριμένο πρόσωπο τής ζωντανής κοινωνίας για να υπάρξουν ως πραγματικότητες, ενώ ο αντιιμπεριαλισμός ακόμα και ως μάσκα συγκρατεί τις ζωντανές ιδιότητες του, σαν η χρήση του ως μάσκας να μην μπορεί να του στερήσει έναν βαθμό ζωντάνιας και συγκεκριμένου φορτίου.

Οι αλλοιωμένες από τον Δυτικό καπιταλισμό-ιμπεριαλισμό ιδέες και αξίες της ελευθερίας, της ισότητας, τής δημοκρατίας, παρουσιάζονται από τους δυτικούς και μη δυτικούς αντιδυτικούς ως ήδη-στην-έναρξη τους ασθενείς αφαιρέσεις που εμπεριέχουν εν εαυτώ, ως τάχα αφηρημένες, την παθητικότητα τους, την ήττα τους, το ασθενές φορτίο τους, ενώ ο αντιιμπεριαλισμός, η μάσκα δηλαδή των εχθρών τής Δύσης, παρουσιάζεται σαν μια ιδέα ζωντανή και αληθινή από την γέννηση της, η οποία απλά πληγώνεται όταν αλλοιώνεται εισερχόμενη στην ιδεολογική μάσκα των μη δυτικών κυρίαρχων, όντας πλέον στοιχείο αυτής τής μάσκας.

--

Δεν θα εξαπατηθούμε άλλο, από την διάκριση αφαίρεσης και συγκεκριμένου, όταν μιλάμε για τις αξίες που γεννήθηκαν στην αρχαία Ελλάδα, την Ρώμη και την Δύση. 

Το συγκεκριμένο αυτών των αφαιρέσεων είναι η ακεραιότητα τους ως αφαιρέσεων.

Η επίκληση τους ως εχόντων αξία μόνον αν γίνουν συγκεκριμένες, γνωστή μαρξιστική αναρχική αλλά και ακροδεξιά επίκληση, εντός Δύσης, και όλα αυτά συν η φονταμενταλιστική Ανατολική δεσποτική επίκληση τους, στην (κυρίως ανατολική) μη Δύση, είναι ψεύτικες επικλήσεις, αυτές τούτες οι επικλήσεις είναι το μεγαλύτερο ψέμα, η πιο κρυμμένη ως μάσκα μάσκα τού ψέματος.
