Orwellian totalitarian capitalism and socialistic future
Orwell’s Animal Farm follows a well intentioned and necessary animal revolt against their human master. Creating a new but corrupted society. Analogous to Stalinist Russia which in bad faith pushed the revolution and then betrayed the good people by subjecting to similar evils of the Tzar before him. This story highlights the greedy danger in power hungry elitist revolutionaries. They cleverly manipulate the masses to do their bidding while they grow rich. Yet this has major hellenistic lacing and not the true socialist humanism.
The story tells of animals as slaves to their human master. His disinterest prompts them to take matters into their own hands. The animals exile their human master and create a new society. The leaders teach the youngsters and place themselves above the masses. They deceptively control the masses by providing them privileges they did not have before. They switch out the former ruler for their own reign. They create a tribalistic ideology which pronounces themselves over others. A threatening identity that others are trying to overthrow. To steal the freedom given.
They demonstrate themselves more benevolent and caring than other potentials. They curate a narrative that binds the people to them. The leader’s identical past and early reforms to help. Their deception was never intentional. It emerged as they were placed in the Tzar’s rule. They accumulated the responsibility and thus saw themselves as in the right to take a little extra for themselves. They are doing a service so they deserve more. Recently, a US representative complained she was not making enough money. She was making triple the average citizen. Yet she felt entitled as a representative to more compensation. She is thinking in the capitalist mind that I deserve. Me me me. The correct perspective is doing a job for the people. To be responsible for them. Not to capitalise on a position and whine about insufficiency.
Many may look at this as human nature. People say communism didn’t work because of human nature. People are greedy. Yet this is current human nature. People only want what they can’t have when the goal is to accumulate every possession known to man. If the goal is personal achievements of course jealousy will wreak havoc. People wish to keep climbing if the peak is absolute freedom. To do as wish with little consequence. The more money and connections the less repudiation. The current red-pilling is to make enough money to eclipse the elites. Yet this just a cop out. Escape and abandon those suffering. What they call leaving the matrix is the mystic who takes his ideas to forest. He no longer will play by society rules so he runs away. He sees society as a failure. There is no way of changing it. The only way is to become like the villain and running away. Gather enough assets to compete with the elites and then live peacefully isolated.
Humans are greedy but not the case of the animal kingdom. They are socialists. They take care of one another and spread the reward. Mice gather babies so if one mother dies, the others will care for her children and wolves travel in packs bringing back food for the group to enjoy. While their is a hierarchy, within in the group there is greater harmony. Human intellect is the single greatest ability. It can create and destroy so easily. Religious mythology analogising human intellect with inferior divine intelligence is a testament to human capacity. Human paranoia and selfish aspirations hunt the collectivist animal. Thinking beyond the circle inspires eclipsing the group. What is better than eclipsing is manipulating them. Maintaining the social ties while deceiving them. A narcissistic proliferation demonstrating a selfish desire to help. A voice of salvation calling to help all the while reaping the profit.
Rationality is dangerous if left unchecked. Recognising otherness by decoding difference is the primal agent to emotional disassociation. The primal intellect reduces the other with emotional insignificance. A lack of introspection and further external indulgence generates the endless gluttonous feeling. The objectification of the world only emboldens this message. Rewarding oneself with materials intensifying desire for accumulating all of the resources in existence. A lack of stoic humility in giving for no reward. Unconditional lending in loving harmony. Materialistic excess is a byproduct of elevating the self in a hedonistic society. Cruelty in the manifestation of deceptive kindness is worse than blunt evil. It tricks the receiver to his ultimate doom never seeing the guise.
A materialistic perspective is not the only way of relating to society. The corrupted leaders fuel paranoia and self rewarding in materialism. They have swapped out the master to become the new master. Unlike the former master they do not bluntly exclaim themselves to be the master. They are the slow knife that cuts from behind without notice, piercing the deepest. The greatest betrayal vailed. Their own pride exalts its superiority in the form of subjugating the masses to a fixed frame. They only see the good and the bad exposed is quashed. Soviet dominance was materialistic. Stalin’s move was no different than the capitalist elites. The latter remain in the shadows reaping the reward without uttering a word. Stalin ousted himself. The wealthy capitalist are benevolent philanthropists, they only want to give back. The put on a facade for the masses pulling the strings from behind the curtain.
The cycle is not eternal. The spell can be broken. Yet the masses must awaken from their hypnotic slumber. Pay more attention to the structural links. Much information is hidden from them. Yet critical thinking is a first step in moving in the other direction. Rethinking the war in Afghanistan is a start and the recent resistance to Epstein’s suicide are evident of a certain bunch protesting. It needs to be pounced upon. The government will act without the people’s knowledge. The government will continue to fail transparency conduct but the masses can question its legitimacy. When the public is pulled into a conflict to rethink the idea. The media is imposing a narrative on me, how do I respond. Maybe watch the other side’s take or read a self proclaimed independent journalist or two for more nuance. Nothing as it seems and there is enough evidence to back it up. The elites do not check on one another so public must do so. They must stand up and demand!
