Abstract
-
A contextual investigation and interrogation of Marx's writings was pursued in order to determine two incompatible revolutionary efformations. One efformation specifies and details productive forces and productive/economic relations within the material base of society, and it is set in the dynamic of structural requirements. The other efformation specifies and details class political struggle at the material superstructure of society, and it is set in the dynamic of the voluntarism of "human nature in general.".;This investigation and interrogation concluded with the discovery of "a complete revolution" that conjoins the base and superstructural efformations. Although our initial hypothesis had to be abandoned, the discovery of "a complete revolution" resulted in a more startling and momentous discovery; namely, that capitalism arose in Western Europe not, as bourgeois thought would have it, in the throes of a revolution that brought down feudalism; rather it arose in the throes of barbarism, and it arose because the capitalists managed to emerge as conquerors by means of a super-structuralization of an even greater and more coercive barbarism: i.e., state barbarism. Barbarism constituted the antecedent and wherewithal for capitalist development in later Western Europe.;This leads to our theory of bourgeois colonialism and imperialism: the bourgeoisie forced and facilitated the emigration of their barbarian adversaries to Asia, Africa, the Americas, etc., so as to set in place and in motion the conditions of existence for the introduction of capitalist development--the bourgeoisie globally reproduced the sequence of events that fostered their hegemony in Western Europe.;Barbarous conquest--not the megamaze of revolution, history, civilization, culture, technology and progress--is the origin and source of global capitalism and its inversion: socialism. Thus capitalism is the rule of bourgeois barbarism from above and socialism is the rule of proletariat barbarism from above.;Martyrdom, which encompasses the martyr's transcendent passion, is the fundamental organizing principle and instrument of mass mobilization against the colonialism and imperialism of the capitalist and proletarian classes: martyrdom is the strategic factor in the mass struggle against classes.;Ultimately, capitalism-socialism are co-modes for the production, seduction and deification of barbarous lusts. The progenitor of these co-modes is the First Barbarian, the Grand Barbarian, the Great Satan.
