Batman: slave morality and the invention of the sigma

Contemporary pseudoscientific entries display a binary of human ontology. Some males are alpha and others are beta. Some dominant and others are submissive. While in Marxian duality there are oppressed and oppressor as well as leaders and followers in folklore, humanity is much more diverse than these terms can convey. Yet buying into these binaries for argument’s sake can shed light maybe not on ontology but on expression. The master-slave morality is an example of threefold human expression.

Nietzsche’s master-slave is interesting given his slave is less obedient and more a rebel. If anything slave morality would be dealing within the system. The ideal slave morality would be the beta model. A group that accepts the hierarchy but impassions itself via motivation or promise. The slave is the master’s property and thus must concede to the stereotypical layout by the master. The alpha sets the standard standing tall above the hierarchy. A top-down classical political fashion. There is little the slave can do other than provide himself with hope of salvation. Coping through the matrix designed to keep him down. The master solidifies his control by ensuring the slave follows through.   

Yet Nietzsche’s slave morality portrays sigma energy. Modelled after John Wick. A sigma is one who rejects the master’s hierarchy. The master attempts to impose his will but the slave rejects it breaking away with his own system. The slave is no longer a slave in the colloquial sense. While the master may continue his dominant reign chastising the disobedient slave, the slave no longer perceives himself as a slave. He is free and independent. He has successfully constructed a model beyond the master’s capacity. His rebellion leads him to his framework. While he continues to struggle under the might of the master’s angst to regain control he rejects the master’s imposition. The master exiles him in disgust, yet he is the victor. Able to harness his strength and push on despite his alienation. 

The master has cultivated generational power but the former slave demonstrates his unique prowess by developing a unique strategy away from this might. Pushing through despite his continuous attempts to destroy him. He is considered an outcast. No master nor slave is to join him but they are inspired by him. It is only through prolific propaganda that the outsider remains a vicious outsider. Order has been broken and the master must resort to underhanded deviltry to salvage his reputation. The former slave is a renown rival. A scary adversary that wishes to do his own thing. He does not see the master’s system as relevant. He seeks a new model a revolutionary paradigm. It is this danger that the alpha fears the sigma. The sigma objects to the hierarchical blasphemy. Instead promoting a more horizontal approach. A novelty that seeks to overthrow the master’s ways.      

Slave morality creates the idolised mysterious sigma. His ways are out of sorts and indeed foreign but they appeal to the common good. An insightful ordeal that designates a model picture for a better future. The slave who has experienced the hardships and nonsense of the master’s system decries its ignorance and paranoia. Mustering courage he dismisses its prowess and paves a new route devoid of the formalistic obscurity. Generational power gone in a single moment. Breaking out of the matrix of masterful dominance. No longer a new world order is relevant. The aspiration is tantalised but action is taken to reduce the master’s influence. The mysterious one is outcasted for his outbursts. His aspirations deal him out of the community but he returns and raises up a rebellion. A revolution against the master. Undermining the hierarchal order with the bottom half putting the system in disarray through armed challenge. 

Historically, the slave rebellion comes in many shapes and sizes from the Exodus to the Magna Carta to the American and then Russian revolutions. Each of these sought a new route out of the status quo. A successful bottom-up solution. In each situation ironically an elite individual (Moses, Fitzwalter, Washington and Lenin) led with help from the lower half. Only when lowering themselves to the difficulties of the slavish depravity did they see the light. Able to transcend the matrix of the dominating presence. All arising from wealthy homes to alter the trajectory of the new nation. The common theme is the historical-mythological narrational recognition of master morality’s falsities. The slave did not always need an external saviour but a misguided elite who came to their aid to join their fight. To surpass master morality a new world order was stabilised by a balanced masterful consent to the slavish rationale. 

Though it may be this masterful transition to slavish notoriety that maintained the master hierarchy. If the leader was trained by formal masters aspects of the previous institution will be kept. Despite daring attempts to promote liberty, hierarchies were maintained. Ethically resolved tensions but the continuous hierarchies remained. Profitable in the short run but their structural inflexibility retain the defiling future. Biblical kings and congressional members placed themselves above the people. The greatest attempt in Leninism was followed by Stalin’s murderous rage. His dictatorship placed him beyond all others. Slave morality has yet to escape the structural affinities of master morality. While they make grand innovations they stumble onto their own master framework that is toppled inevitably. Rebellions occur through the reign with a rollercoaster ride of turmoil but unable to reach that idealistic anarchist equality. 

If former masters turned liberators cannot escape the structure ingrained in their psyche. Liberation of the slave is to provide a new order for the free. The freed slave is now lost in the chaotic wilderness and needs order to configure itself. The former master recalls the structural stability and enforces a reformed Leviathan. Similar to the last order but more ethically innovated. The liberator does not know any other model and yet even television shows like Vikings which take a farmer turned rebel becoming an unwarranted king. Even when the leader himself wishes to distance from the older order. He not only takes the place of his captor but the external influences and his widespread respect reaches new heights in his kingship. The biblical episode follows the metric with kingship reigning in following surrounding political influence. While the American distaste for kingship distances its namesake, the president has slowly garnered king like power and even the government has reached aristocratic status. Everyone may be created equal but not everyone is judged equally. 

Stalin’s failure had much more do with the idealistic fault than communism’s natural fallacy. External propaganda and elitist fear-mongering plummeted the ensuing success of communist agenda. Despite the anti-communist push, the slavish revolution startled order with little to go on. It was a new model that hoped the government would ensure equality. There were many successes but elitist paranoia swept across all countries. The Tzar’s regime influence did not dissipate. Stalin or Mao had big blunders but their dictatorships were neo-kingships. Yet so were democratic governments. Gulags were awful but given the democratic bias the American prison system is seen as so much better despite its torturous conditions. The inability for the slave morality to survive was due to generational conformity.

If anything unlike Lenin, Stalin was born to a poor family and suffered under the Tzar’s regime. He was not an empathetic outsider but a struggling insider. He had the capability to topple the system and bring security to the people. To be the perfect Joshua to Moses. Yet unlike Joshua, his uphill battle had little allies and many powerful foes. Stalin’s failed conquest to ensure soviet security was pushed back as an imperial danger to the global paradise democracy preached. Yet it may have been his slavish history that derailed his success. He did not understand the world enough. He played with fear while his successor Gorbachev played politics. The latter failed but it was the historical decline that sent his plans asunder. His centralism of armed conflict persisted into the afghan conflict which like many wasted wars woke up the public of this nuisance. 

Communism was the first bottom-up attempt to remove the generational monarchical hegemony with an entirely new structure. Democracy existed in antiquity and briefly in the Middle Ages but nothing like communist publicity. While ancient hunter-gatherers to some extent and certain Native American groups were proto-communist in their economic forum others like Inca or Aztecs were imperial and hierarchical. There is a diversity even amongst the americas. It is in this depiction that communism is even harder to secure in its fully slavish creation. Nietzsche may have hated democracy but there may be some aspects of representative democracy in its elitist surge that he would revere. On the face of it he would reject the equality for all slogan but recognising realistic trends of elitist overhaul may have found some liking. Yet communism was the worst in its ultimate equality and childish emasculating sharing. 

Nietzsche’s apolitical nature did not stop his proto-fascist vibes (more Mussolini than Hitler). The master race would prevail in the masterful takeover. Today in liberal democracies it is the rich corporatists and congressional elitists. Nietzsche’s promotion of aristocratic hegemony in the Genealogy of Morals has more in line with the Sheriff of Nottingham than Robin Hood. Zarathustra desires a different model away from the conformist narrative. One faces the alpha the other the sigma. The one thing Nietzsche consistently hates is the betas. The inability to self empowerment by collective or individual is a failed sequence. Nietzsche’s aspiration provides one possibility while the batman comics provide two others. Zarathustra is the mystics unable to handle the matrix and runs away. He tries to preach his ideal but is mocked and gives up on society’s rehabilitation. He masters his own prestige over the coercing narrative. Yet this abandonment unlike the former mentioned leaders did return to liberate. Unwilling to back down against the standard order.

While many of the character mentioned attempted to create a new society the sigma soul is not always a militant revolutionary. The rebel attempts to coexist within the existing model but alter the current mechanics. In many instances this brave liberator is behind the scenes or an apolitical figure. Harriet Tubman and MLK were perfect examples of rebellious figures who displayed the duality between a hidden Underground Railroad and a revealed March at Selma. Batman is the nighttime concealed hero and superman the daytime spotlight hero. Batman is the whistleblowers and unnoticed champions of change. His lack of powers symbolises a lack of power in the system. His sigma smugness pushes back against the crime lords by stopping crime. The rebel does not have a following but a single individual with a his body and wits to protect the conformists. He fights back the masterful corrupted hierarchy with his own will. Yet it is his wealth that enables him to access the innovative means to stop crime. 

Batman is akin to Moses with a less revolutionary charm. Finding more compatibility with Jefferson before his political fame. The rebellious Batman fits Camus’ absurdism as the foil for the Joker’s chaotic nihilism. Humans are selfish hierarchies are deplorable may as well destroy everything. The Joker pushes back against the governance with chaos and disarray. Instead of leaving he remains in the depraving society but makes noise to inspire change positively or desire destruction negatively. Whatever the Joker’s agenda his sigma rage is a reactionary cruelty. If the world is cruel well then either he will be cruel in response just for its sake or for people to recognise the faults and rebuild. No matter, the Joker is unwilling to be a slave any longer. His menacing wit and exotic mania leads to his villainous supremacy. A tragic idealist anti-hero living his way against the grain. 

Joker’s foil is an internal stoic mastery. Joker’s slavish revolution seeks anarchy. Dismantle all the wealthy villains. Seek to establish an equivalent vicious selfishness. Batman thought aware of the world’s harsh truth works within the system for change. To route out the evil. Refusing to kill in order to maintain some order. Working with Commissioner Gordon to fortify and rid the devilish instability. Batman fails many a time to alter society’s depravity but it is through his conviction and thereby his actions that is truly remarkable. Batman himself remarks his purpose is to symbolise that it is his actions that define who he is. He fights for the common man. Yet it is his lack of successors that keeps the people down. For all of Batman’s success his own key-tonight is his attitude. He is a sigma but a deep loner with little deeper connections. Speaking of his crime fighting alone he has limited sidekicks no more than ten at a time to fight the good fight. Yet this continues to be a capable sliver but nonetheless a sliver fighting for the people. 

He is never able to reach the promising goodness of collective rebellion. Even his successors stick to their solo shows. Nightwing moves to a different city, a little more emotional but alone in his crime fighting journey. Crime fighting whether alone or on a team is still on behalf of the people. To an extent it’s a super-powered police force. Yet this agency is the mistaken understanding policing. Policing is to maintain order not to end systemic policies. They must collectively fight with the common man. Democracies have taken the individual out of the lawful equation. It is illegal for an individual to resort to violence to stop a crook. Citizens are to be bystanders. Yet in the crime-stricken debased hierarchy someone outside the system unaffected by the systemic nature. While a batman is necessary to evoke the message and implement potential change, the people must break free of the matrix. The goal is not for Batman to free everyone through action and conversation. 

Slave morality is eclipsed by the system’s failure. Recognising the unequal treatment from the outside from the unexpected leads to a change in perception. Batman’s wealth could not save his parents, the untouchable became mortal. For Moses the enslavement leading to menacing murder was a step too far. While he enjoyed the royalties of the kingdom exposure to the disenchanted oppression was unbecoming. Most people accept the conditions they are in. The consistent rogue aristocrat is perceiving the issue from beyond. The empathetic brutality courses through their veins. It is the insider who struggles to exit the prevailing thematic lifestyle. It is just life destined for mediocrity. Neo can only leave the matrix, he can only become a sigma by taking the red pill. Only by accepting the chemically altering reality can he fight back. Yet for those outside the system its that obvious. For the Israelites it was unthinkable but not to Moses. The difference between the loyalists and patriots amongst the colonists resembles the grand shift in perception. 

Plato’s enlightened individual eclipses the matrix. The systemic darkness bolsters ignorance. It’s not passivity but well kept secrets. The philosopher king returns to aid the disheartening individuals. Unlike Batman, Jefferson takes his political philosophy and moral virtue to the presidency. While Jefferson remained in the hierarchal chair he did so by epitomising a new style of thinking. Protecting the people on a political level not just as a patriotic vigilante. The comic strip ally is Green Arrow who combines vigilantism and politics. Attempting to bring a synergy but unable to distance from the vigilante life he eventually steps down. Jefferson put the public service first before his philosophical rampage. The issue with both figures is that innovations were inside the hierarchy and refused to dismantle them. A political figure inside the matrix cannot easily disbar the framework. Gradually yes but with additional assistance. Alone he can defeat crime on the streets with more might but is repelling criminals not stopping the systemic processes that create it. 

Even the outlier who seeks to sow change is incrementally good but leaving office or crime fighting leads down a dark path without a virtuous successor. Democratic continuity was a collectivist agreement. Unifying stability generationally. The people held to this model with the structural affinities. Yet the racist overtones were startled by Lincoln but remerged with Jim Crow. Slavery ended but remerged in wage slavery. Innovative changes are incredible but without an entire network change political alteration is meaningless. The ethical guidelines must be bolstered over the governmental action. The leader sparks the genuine persistence from communal laity. Success of the bottom-up revolution must be with engaged accountable laity. The people must represent and push back when unrepresented. To not accept the troubling status quo and push back. Reaching the absurd abyss is a moment of reflection and seeking an alternative route. It is not the end but the cessation of this specific path. The sigma is a rallying figure but must engage the laity on their level to ensure collectivist solutions. 

The Knights of the Communist Table

Marxism as neo-medieval communal identity    

Marxism saw the danger of capitalism. The Renaissance’s wealth and individualism disembarked from communal societal relations. No longer was a figure someone a cog in a wheel but solo to do his own thing. To choose to help or not. While, this may sound better, it lacks the communal element. Everyone belonged to a class and a community. It was all in hope of the human furtherance. Marxism planned on reviving the communal element under a new guise. A new order without class. 

Marxism attempted to revive the communal identity lost by the emerging capitalist society. The collectivist class struggle would be a revolutionary pull toward a new destiny. A new marker of identity. One of shared history and memory. A goal away from the the interlocked suffering from the poor. A top-down approach unifying the diverse factions. The classes now united under one  scheme. A political machine ensuring human equity. The oppressor is removed and the oppressed are saved. Now equal under the political machine, they share a common identity. Removed from the classist differential is now a united front. Everyone is horizontally sitting instead of vertically climbing. On the same level places all in the same camp. The significant partition of class struggle for utopian synthesis is edenic. 

Marxism advocated for revolution. In order to fulfil the equity goals, a rebellion was necessary. If people wanted more power, they had to fight for it. No one was going to willingly concede power. The wealthy were not going to kindly give their money. As charitable as they may be, it was insufficient. The rich maintained their status and fostered their own circle. Their exclusivity would not be denied. Their money was their acceptance into the club. Their superiority rested in their wealth. Their unwillingness needs reciprocation. The lower classes need to push back. They need to overwhelm the rich enemy. By overshadowing the capitalist mind, they can endure with a better future. It is upending the system for a novel model ensuring salvation. The capitalist mechanical system cannot be salvaged. Human greed mitigates the potential equity. 

Marxism topples the greedy aristocracy. The social value must be rejuvenated in the face of social isolation. Ironically, there is a socialisation amongst the rich. These wealthy individuals are corporate executives celebrities and politicians. The best and most notorious example I can think of is Epstein’s Island which has failed to be disclosed. The likes of Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates and Alan Dershowitz were spotted there among other notable individuals. Point being that a group of elites were present at a human trafficking ring. Even worse was covering up and participating in the inhumane travesty. Another example was the Met Gala party which was attended by these elites not following covid policies they ordered. While this demonstrates complete lack of responsibility and corruption, it also denotes a collectivist supremacy. The aristocracy has not been expunged it has only persisted but expanded to include a wider diversity. It no longer is sole lineage and dynastic but it holds to the same exclusivism. It is as if the aristocrats of old realised in order to compete with the enduring liberalism they had to be a little more forthcoming and open to new club members. 

Marxism bemoans elites. Dreads the seniority of some arrogant narcissistic group of belittling trolls. The elite live in their own ivory towers by their own rules. They set standards for others that they do not follow. They cater to a community that requires access. Access through wealth and prestige. Everyone wishes to be a part of that club. They engender a methodology that all should follow. They manipulate society to follow what they deem worthwhile. I do not think they themselves invented these ideas ex nihilo but instead follow a pattern from earlier generations with a modern twist. The top-down educational model blue pilled and red pilled to society is dually similar. Both aspire for the elitist class in divergent directions. The elites wish to retain their power and experiment with distinct political directions of expanding or restricting that circle. It is a ploy for supremacy. While they maintain their socialisation everyone else is fending for themselves. The goal is to reach their pool and enter into the hall of acceptance. Validation is immanent to enter. They scrupulously fostered an inner circle that bested the individualisation. Many of the names mentioned above are from different backgrounds and different sectors united while neighbourhoods are riddled with disinterest. 

Marxism seeks salvation. The diversified lower classes must band together. They must cease the shallow endeavour of arriving at the some celestial stadium amongst the top. The lower status are king for a piece of the top. They wish for comfort. They wish for serenity. Yet they are existentially lonely. They do realise that they need only to look around. Instead of besting one another, they work together. How much more good if they break off the yoke of elitism. How much more powerful they can be. Instead of confirming to a hierarchy they should dismantle it. They must see past the illusion staring them in the face. They must quash the slavish impropriety keeping them subservient to a higher order. It is political slavery. Indebted to a system that sways by the whims of a powerful few. In Nietzschean fashion it is slave mortality. The top must compel the bottom to follow their lead, if not directly controlling them. The secret cabal dangles the rest of society on a leash. Again they are not necessarily placing themes in motion aimlessly but continuing a long traditional line of fame and fortune. The supremacy of status is embroiled on the television sets boasting of their entourage. Making the weak and needy jealous.   

Marxism musters a whisper to the fixated eyes on gold so far away. The problem is the extent to which they go. Two recent revolutionaries: Malcolm X and Meir Kahane embody these ideals. Both these men saw the dangers of society as it targeted their brethren. Beaten and soaked in blood of their perpetrators. The solution was retaliation. Fight fire with fire; violence with violence. Do onto others what they do onto you. The only way to repel the instigator, the oppressor was to fight back. Yet this violence was perceived as unjust in nation’s light due to its one sided attackers. Minority discrimination was permitted but not vice versa. Persistent protest and speaking to people’s ethical impulse to fight for a worthy cause. See the suffering and cease it at once. MLK’s wide success is from his temperament and national inspiration (though his martyring may have bolstered his prestige). MLK’s unifying messaging was not a mechanical update but a valuational shift. While the abolitionists fought a violent revolution. MLK fought a civil revolution. His ability to resist the violent temptation hearkens to Rickey’s famous quote to Jackie, to have the guts to not fight back. Honour pride and restraint to stand tall to the enemy. To stare death in the face and hold back with such cathartic fierceness.   

Marxism needs resilient rebels. Those cynical of the present version of society and wishing for a new future. Unlike the overarching alterations made in historical revolutions, the rebel shouts out to the despaired. Inspires the waters laying the abyss to rise again. A festering inspiration of Bruce Wayne to climb the tower from hell. Willing to cede the rope and jump freely, all on the line in brute honesty. To climb out of hell to save Gotham. Society is not doomed as long as there is hope in its salvation. As long as there are those wishing to make changes. As one Bruce Wayne they will fail. They need a group. Yet not an out of control animal. A leader will take charge to hype the group and provide direction but the group must stand tall beside the leader, not behind him. The past saw soldiers as inferior to their king. They stood behind the king’s command. Today commanders give orders far away from the battlefield. In both cases the leader is superior. At least in old the leader led the charge. A leader, a charismatic up stander is inevitable but it is those who surround him in kind seeing themselves all as equals with a collective mission to succeed. The rebels in their existential alienation find one another to soothe the loneliness. They become a Wolfpack looking out for one another. Each wolf is instrumental to the pack and gives his share to the overall team.  

Marxism motions familial longing with serene purity. Preaching for a bottom-up resistance cultivates concerned voices to unite. Neighbourhoods rally around one another. Today this occurs following tragedies such as the George Floyd gruesome murder bringing communities together to tackle a major issue of public safety. Yet the unification succeeding a travesty is a common trope in the human psyche. A conservative flare to stick together brightens in the shadow of evil. Standing hand in hand to protest the wrongdoing and its future application. Social media has powered the global web to synchronise like never before. Ever greater than the 1968 world-wide protests. The web is one way but we need to stop standing behind computers hash-tagging on twitter and take to the streets. Climate change activity must be persistent. It must touch the hearts of all. Any given issue has ten or so percent on each extreme and eighty in the middle who are indifferent. The failure of the eighty percent necessitates talking to the other extreme but this is not always a winning cause. Gaining momentum in the eighty by speaking to their hearts is necessary. A communal identity must gradually advance. Change is evolutionary. It needs time despite the the grand wishes of the advocates. It is a slow insufferable inclining trajectory.   

Marxism protesting hinges on systematic and organic development. While the current frame is unheeded due to its profit-less endeavour. Shouting and screaming of world destruction by ceasing coal and fracking raising unemployment and halting mobility is not a resonating message. Well intentioned but implausibly ethically dominant with no pragmatic concern. The young moralists are visionaries without any viable plan. The revolutionary paradigm seeks to upend the model for a clean slate with a new methodology. Yet it may be more efficient to wean people off of profit goals and gradually oscillate toward a class-less society. Fast changes do not automatically alter the human conscious nor values. If these young moralists put their change in affect on an isolated plane it would fail due to their extreme commitment or people would cheat and fall back to old values of profit wielding individuals. The communal conscious is made aware of the situation, the rebels persist and they speak the profit language. Young moralists are not in the power seats yet. They need to wait their turn. Change from where you can. Investing in profit related electric energy to promote proper changes benefiting the world. The driven advocates need to be aware of their actions. Angering countrymen for destroying their jobs at their expense of your messianic complex is not unifying nor is beneficial.                  

     

Marxism needs allies. While greedy politicians and corporations may be looking for profit incentivised alternatives, the average individual in hick town Kentucky is not. Most people are trying to live day to day. While the ultimate goal of reaching the millions is an aspiration, people are just trying to provide. The millions march has individualised all to fend for themselves. Liberation has a cost but it isolates from communal aid. Influencing these folk or even the average Jersey accountant is not so simple. Missionaries is the wrong track. Make noise and raise a collectivist resonating message. A modern MLK speech.  MLK’s speeches did not end racism but it forwarded a movement to bridge that gap. It saw the grouping of Americans. Blacks and whites were both humans and illustrated a future hand in hand. The same goes for the young moralists. Pick an issue and run with it. Trying to cripple babel from its highest peak needs an assassination which without installing an ally would be ineffective. Even with this ally in power. Dotting with his new novelties is tyrannical. It is too quick sharp and oppressive. Start with plastic bags and then move on to recycling to planting trees. This minor inconvenience though a pain in the butt can be acquiesced. Allies are those who take on endeavours gradually without attempting to convert to a small extremist faction hellbent on overturning their current lives. People like to help and if it is easy enough with no hard feelings things can change. 

Marxism is fuelled by its charismatic voices. It cannot be a sole preacher but a group mindset. Chapters traversing the land. A communal identity that does not factionalise into the political landscape turning people off. It needs to be universal and welcoming. A warm embrace with a hug nudging inside. Camaraderie is born of a collectivist mission hoping for an inspiring future. A commendable goal of sacred origin. Its universalism speaks to its humanitarian hold. A beauty breeching the canonicity of the modern lens. The perceptive voices range to all sectors of humanity. The elderly recall the atrocities of Stalinist Russia and Maoist China. The Orwellian voice was not phobic but it has culminated in a deranged psychosis. Its message is clear but its target shifted. It isn’t the communists but any governmental overlord that many elderly liberals and conservatives continue to vote into office. They are so engulfed in its 20th century propaganda, they fail to see its contemporary relevance. The real evil is staring them straight in the face. Both the left and the right argue about social issues not economic ones. They are capitalists but will “communise” in their aristocratic hegemony. People are stuck in their ways and altering the propaganda so embedded in the elderly folk’s mind is implausible. The young moralists argument is change this second but the brainwashed adulthood cannot reciprocate. Flashed with phobic disaster they remain in the matrix. 

Marxism dangles by a thread in the mind of these advocates. There are have been debates about the left eating itself. The Youtube algorithm brings one to Ben Shapiro destroys college snowflake or Jordan Peterson destroys college liberal. These snowflake leftists boycott conservative speakers or prevent diversity in their own oppressive attempt. They use hyper racial terminology and rampant trigger warning outrage. Whether or not this is “left” is perceived as such. They may be Trojan horses, social climbing schizophrenics but the outer ring sees them promoting left wing politics and brands them the left. Yet statistically left identifiers wish to silence opposing views and issuing referendums when results don’t meet their mark. Their anti-enlightenment ideology is not classically left but its contemporary left. In this vein, the social identification has polarised in tribalistic maturity. These groups were formed in defence of their beliefs and thus armed to protect. The young activists are building a group ex nihilo but their inexperience is transforming a well-intentioned group into a tyrannical oppressor. A group identity is reviving but dangerously at the expense of others. While many may detest the childish emotional outbursts, the numbers do validate their messaging. 

Marxism must avoid totalitarian bad actors. These contemporary peace seekers are Orwellian. They are revolutionaries who seek to overthrow the current tide with repressive ideas. The scary aspect is that they will soon be in charge. They do not identify with the classic liberal nor do they identify with classic marxism. Their goal is to suppress others to ensure their visions. While left is not marxist it finds much similarities with the latter’s vision. The university left is not the left of the anti-Veitnam hippies; they are not the same students nor in the same situation. Ironically both leftists movements were student driven. This is not at all shocking. The young born into such a generation hope for social change seeing the failures of the older generation. They are aspirers and hopeful. Contemporary leftism must revamp itself. Unlike its predecessor overshadowed by war protests and maoist tendencies did not transition to the political sphere. Yet their influence did carry for feminists and homosexuals. In order to avoid eating itself as the SDS did back when, it must align itself with proper conduct. Their authoritarian agenda is dangerous. It may not be classically Neo-marxist but it is becoming its own agenda in a stalinist format. 

Marxism must not eat itself. Those advocating for the methodical strictures have to yield to debate. The bad actors will be televised and championed as the conductors of the movements. The Neo-marxist victory will not be in revolution but in rebellion. The young moralists are the on the right track but they are too anxious and agitated. Too inexperienced and impatient. They have much to give and shall pursue their agenda but do so earnestly. Their protest must be shared and broadened. University professors must open the forum to fight for values but in an orderly fashion. To match progressivism with conservatism. Change must be evolutionary not revolutionary. Neo-marxist advocates are making waves. Bernie Sanders ran a near successful presidential campaign. Albany has a socialist congressional representative. Gradual change will make it. As long as young voices do not give up as they mature, alterations will be marked. At first their youth will be their weakness preyed upon as false prophets but in time their tenacious voice will epitomise the prophetic call of old. The university hype will persist if people hold true to their convictions. Even silver-spooned youngsters are pulled into the mainstream swing of things. The peer pressure is a powerful string and can “coerce” and/or inspire more socialistic send-offs. As long as the rich ignore the pleas or reluctantly abrasively endow charity, there is not much hope. Those with the resources must overcome their moral lapse that rationally deduces predestined superiority. As long as the embedded propaganda machine is not overturned, there can be little hope. 

Marxism is at a severe disadvantage. Both parties promote capitalist agendas. While Europe is less capitalist heavy, its social welfare does not gravitate to the Neo-marxists’ vision. Continental Europe has promoted a welfare state that covers much of civic life but at the expense of tremendous taxes. The power of socialised policies have gained greater traction due to the lack of substantial offensive communist horror. Yet considerable frequenting socialism with communist atrocities harms polling. They have become the scapegoat of the capitalist. Continental Europe’s reliance on American capital puts them at odds with much of their native agendas. Building coalitions and attempting to bridge the gap is difficult. Europe has made greater strides than the US, it is still its youth that will engender a hopeful picture. America is way behind and will remain that way without youthful execution. The EU is a market economy. Although it has advanced social programs there is still a gap between the wealthy and the poor. Germany is seen as the scion of the the hybrid model (un-ironically its history of liberal agendas). Even in Germany, inequality remains very high and has increased in the past twenty years. This all to say that despite their vast improvements there is still a ways to go. 

Marxism is a universalist paradigm but a nationalistic forum. Recently, there has been a Neo-nationalist revival. In some ways reigniting extremist groups but also recognising the failures of globalisation. The dream of universalising democracy and spreading capitalism in a universal market did not breed the equality envisioned. It built winners and losers. Many corporations moved overseas leaving their old national workers unemployed. China began shipping low cost items made by child labourers in dangerously infected facilities. The promises made did not pan out. Globalisation was not a total failure but it further erased identity. It took away a tribal identity hinged to a hometown, a patriotism for one’s own kin. Instead of aiding one’s own community, we are allocating millions of dollars to starving children in Africa. This is a pure intentioned effort but it forgets the stragglers in the community. San Francisco is home to the largest homeless rate. We become more concerned with media motivated cinema than our bulldozed buck heavy backyard. The world is indebted to Africa for its imperialistic tragedies but that is a national issue not an individual issue. The difference in magnitude does not necessitate certain aid. A selfishness to one’s own kin must be priority to ensure that more people can collectively aid struggling Africans. A particularism that yields respect to its own in order for its own to aid others. 

Marxism begins internally before professed externally. A universal ideal has its genus in nationalistic fortitude. Communist Russia was the ideal Russia. Everyone was Russian but in its liberal promotion its sought to erase all other identities. One was only Russian not Jewish Christian or other. An Orwellian scare of great liberal leaps with immense censorship. An equal but an imprisoned society. Eventually morphing into its totalitarian construct that silenced diversity and punished perpetrators. Russia was to be protected. Anyone doing anything that mocked it would have to answer for it. A scary theme penetrating leftist discourse on campuses. On the other, side democracy preaches natural rights. Everyone is imbued factual evident essences. An existentialist paradigm placing one’s individuality before their belonging. Unfortunately, the democratic capitalist has sought his own destiny at the expense of his fellow countrymen. A freedom to act as he wishes liberated from any social obligation and affiliation. Loyalty and fidelity once prioritised at the hierarchy of values are muddled by egocentric aspirations. The global vision with its profiteering has decimated these ties and cut these strings. Start small and then make a big splash. Only with gradual improvement will change immanently occur. Duties and responsibilities are the centre of human identity. This intuitive collectivist value must remerge in unison not bilaterally in opposite corners. It’s not Frazier versus Ali but a patriotism of unified result.    

Marxism prevails in democratic values by unifying the stifled masses. Enlightenment ideas were relevant to stabilise the individualisation of society and appropriation of the business class. Nations and even the international machine is at the aristocrats’ mercy. It is up to the aristocrats to submit themselves. For their humility to shine brighter than the green slips of paper in their pockets. Neo-marxism must counter with innate connections to familial longing and correct guidance. Debate and discussion are imperative aspects. Change is necessary but gradual. The dialectic will never be entirely synthesised. It will perpetually oscillate and require cathartic heroism to resist a revolutionary revolt. A universal consciousness embroils the fashioned agenda. It’s a humanitarian effort but it must pass from theory to practice. It must begin to announce itself beyond governmental programs. Drawing tangents to compensate for the inequality is a far cry from solving the impending dilemma. The government nor the rear faction can topple the capitalist. Only the annoying persistent rebel. The shoulder judgement inches closer to favourable dissent. Modifications  incrementally reshape the societal picture. The moral outcry is to be ideologically internalised into a fervent antidote rather than a rampant cancer. A communal enterprise, a collective vision, a tribal hankering.

Marxism facilitates the libertarian formula in opposing the authoritarian capitalist. The urban ivory towers place a delegating distance between the worker and the owner between the citizen and the politician. The resource holders monopolise swearing on their mother’s grave they will provide service to those seeking. Even with employment options, the worker is at a disadvantage. He is in debt to the capitalist who holds all the cards. Unions have tried to regulate and excelled in part but still struggle. The citizen is stuck in the same rut. He can only vote and hope his pick follows through on his promises. The individualisation for higher positions can only be eclipsed by resources. The tech world has opened up the possibility for others to enter with their creative mastery but it is insufficient to the masses. This polarised drought in the mix of a fast-moving never-sleeping city is overwhelmed in the pursuit of calm tranquil peacefulness. Mitigating that distance is via active imagination. Socialised endeavours do not operate smoothly on governmental grounds but in communitarian cohorts. A plan of fate meddling in a doctrinal symmetry. If communities stand for their risk-abiding nature, if they are the ones who ensure that their communities concern for each other it will prosper. It is attention and engagement that is fully necessitated.
