Subject : MORAL OUTRAGE AND ITS ILLUSIVE TARGETS: Who? What? When? Where? & Why?

 

 

April 20, 2017

Grenoble, France



Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,

The traditional political parties in the United States –“The Party of Lincoln” and “The Party of FDR”—have for all practical purposes merged into one Corporate War Party which governs the US economy today, by manufacturing an ideological hegemony that communicates to the rest of us, in no uncertain terms, that we are to adapt as best we can for survival in a prolonged period of austerity. The neo-liberal environment that the US government seeks to maintain requires popular submission if capitalists are to maximize their investment opportunities at home and abroad. Censorship and a particular use of language are of essential importance to produce this submissive population. The writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein are helpful to understand this linguistic strategy of domination/subjugation, a sum-zero “game theory” whereby words no longer offer meanings that correspond to material realities, but rather where the meaning of a word is determined exclusively by its use in the context of the word game being played, which is driven by the goal of “winning” silence (i.e. acceptance or submission).

Ludwig Wittgenstein - The Limits of Thought

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB3OwIV5oro

Published on Feb 13, 2016

 

This is an introduction to the life, work, and legacy of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. There is little doubt that he was a towering figure of the twentieth century; on his return to Cambridge in 1929 Maynard Keynes wrote, “Well, God has arrived. I met him on the 5:15 train”. Wittgenstein is credited with being the greatest philosopher of the modern age, a thinker who left not one but two philosophies for his successors to argue over: The early Wittgenstein said, “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world”; the later Wittgenstein replied, “If God looked into our minds he would not have been able to see there whom we were speaking of”. Language was at the heart of both. Wittgenstein stated that his purpose was to finally free humanity from the pointless and neurotic philosophical questing that plagues us all. As he put it, “To show the fly the way out of the fly bottle”. He was something of a philosopher's philosopher. But how did he think language could solve all the problems of philosophy? How have his ideas influenced contemporary culture? And could his thought ever achieve the release for us that he hoped it would? Melvyn Bragg discusses Wittgenstein and these questions with Ray Monk (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton), Barry Smith (Lecturer in Philosophy at Birkbeck, University of London), and Marie McGinn (Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of York).

For some of us, the conflictual political cultures inside the United States today bring to mind scenes from the rise of Nazi Germany. The rise of German fascism, of course, has its own history, but there seem to be similarities with what is happening to us in the present crisis of capitalist accumulation, which has produced all sorts of resistance movements --ranging from slave revolt tactics to revolutioinary strategies-- all of which are accompanied by new repressive military/police measures. The Hacker counterculture has received widespread attention in recent years, as have Whistleblowers, Fake News outlets, Blacklisted social media sources, and that most formidable institution, WikiLeaks. A “War of Words” and the “Information War” have been declared, as is illustrated in Vivien Lesnik Weisman’s 2014 documentary film, The Hacker Wars. The image of agents “trolling” for information, in a language game designed to provoke unguarded responses and ultimately abject submission.

The Berkeley Street Violence

Meanwhile, back in the material world of social class struggle, some of us are asking new questions :

·        Do you think for a minute there would be wars if they were not profitable for stockholders?

 

Perhaps a long-term historical perspective can be useful for identifying trends that are otherwise not recognized. In a discussion of economic growth and the accompaning social class formations in the period between the 15th & the 18th centuries, historian Fernand Braudel writes,

Every advance made by [economic]growth concerns the division of labor.  The latter is a derivative phenomenon, trailing along behind growth which drags it in its wake so to speak. But the increasing complexity of the division of labour can eventually be taken as a reliable indicator of the progress made towards growth, or even as a means of measuring it.  . . .

[F]rom the time of Adam Smith, economists regarded the idea as something akin to Newton’s law of gravity. Jean-Baptiste Say was one of the first to rebel against the vogue and thereafter the concept of the division of labour rather went out of fashion. Durkheim wrote of it that ‘it is merely a derivative phenomenon . . . [which] takes place on the surface of social life, and this is particularly true of the economic division of labour, which is but skin deep’. Is this really so? I have often imagined the division of tasks as something like the intendance –the supply corps which follows the army and organizes occupied territory. Was the improved organization of exchange –and by the same token the enlargement of its scope—such a small thing? The extension of the services or tertiary sector’ –a major phenomenon of our own times—forms part of the division of labour &and lies at the heart of socio-economic theories of today. The same is true of the destructuring and restructuring of social features which accompany growth, for growth does not merely increase the division of labour, it reshuffles the cards, eliminating old functions and proposing new ones, in a process which reshapes both economy and society. The industrial revolution represents a new and completely disorienting division of labour, preserving and refining the mechanisms at work but bringing disastrous consequences in social and human terms.(p.592, Capitalism & Civilization, Vol. 3)

 

Braudel goes on to illustrate how the division of labor in England evolved sporadically in the 18th and 19th centuries :

. . . The power-loom, ‘with which a child can produce as much as two or three men’, was truly a social catastrophe, on top of so many others. Thousands of weavers were thrown on to the streets. Wages collapsed so drastically that the starvation rates at which labour could be bought kept some wretched handloom weavers in work longer than would rationally have been expected.

   At the same time, the new division of labour, as it urbanized working-class society, was tearing apart the world of the poor, as they chased after work which vanished in front to them; it eventually took them to unfamiliar places, far from the countryside they knew and in the end diminished their way of life. Living in towns, deprived of the traditional resources of kitchen garden, cow, and farmyard fowls, working in great factories under the stern gaze of the overseers, being forced to obey, losing all freedom of movement, accepting fixed working-hours –all these were immediate effects hard to bear. It meant a whole way of life and view of the world, to the point of alienation from one’s own existence. It meant changing diet –eating poor food and less of it. Neil J. Smelser has given us a sociological and historical account of the life of the uprooted workers in the new all-conquering cotton industry. It was many years before working-class society succeeded in creating protection in the shape of new attitudes and organizations –friendly societies, cooperative banks and so on. Trade unions would only come later. And it is not much use asking the rich what they thought of the new town-dwellers. They saw them as ‘mindless, vicious, quarrelsome and rebellious’ and to make matters worse, ‘as a rule poor’. What the workers themselves thought of factory labour was expressed rather differently –with their feet. In 1838, only 23% of the textile workforce were adult males; the great mass were women and children, who put up less resistance. Never before has social discontent in England been so severe as in the years 1815-45, which saw the rise in turn of  Luddite machine-breakers, of political radicals, who would have liked to break down the structures of society, of trade unionism and of Utopian socialism.(p.595)

 

He continues his discussion of the Industrial Revolution with a description of the early industrialist class and the evolution it underwent between 1750 and 1850 :

The division of labour did not only affect the base but also –perhaps even more quickly—the top levels of industrial firms. Hitherto, in Britain as on the continent, the rule had been the indivisibility of the chief commercial functions –a businessman could be a jack of all trades: merchant, banker, insurer, ship-owner, industrialist. When the English ‘country banks’ appeared for instance, their proprietors were corn-merchants, brewer’s, or wholesalers with many interests, who had been motivated to set up banks by their own needs and those of their neighbors. These men with a finger in every pie were found wherever one turned: they were director’s of the East India Company (naturally) or the Bank of England where they influenced decisions and exerted patronage, they had seats in the House of Commons, gradually climbed the ladder of honours, and were soon governing the country which was already subordinate to their interests and passions.

   But by the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, a new type was emerging, the ‘industrialist’, a man of action who would before long, even before the formation of Peel’s second ministry (1841), be making an appearance on the political stage, in the House  of Commons itself. In the course of acquiring their independence, these men had broken one by one the ties between pre-industry and mercantile capitalism. With them there appeared a new form of capitalism, one that went from strength to strength, firmly based on industrial production. The new ‘entrepreneurs’ were above all organizers. ‘Relatively few’, remarks Peter Mathias, ‘were the pioneers of major innovations and inventions in their own right.’ The talents they claimed to posses;, the tasks they set themselves, were those of being conversant with new techniques, able to handle their foremen and workers and lastly having an expert knowledge of the market so as to be able to direct output themselves, changing course whenever necessary. They tended to do without the merchant as middlemen, preferring themselves to supervise the purchase and transport of the raw materials they needed, to see that it was of the correct quality and arrived regularly. Since they were producing for a mass market, they wanted to be &able to assess for themselves the state of the market and to adapt production accordingly. The Fieldens, mill-owners in Todmorden, had their own agents in the United States in the early nineteenth century, who bought supplies of cotton for the factory. ‘The great London porter brewers bought little malt in the open market at Mark Lane or Bear Quay [but] . . . employed factor’ in the barley-growing regions of East Anglia –who were kept on a very tight rein . . . .

These colossal breweries has moreover organized the distribution of their output, not only in London itself, where they supplied beer directly to half the ale-houses in town, but also in Dublin, where they had agents. This is an important point: industrial enterprise was moving towards total independence. Peter Mathias cites the example of the building entrepreneur Thomas Cubitt, who emerged as a man of fortune in about 1817, having become rich during the Napoleonic Wars. His success owed nothing to technical innovations, and everything to new management techniques: he go rid of the sub-contractors who had traditionally handled the building trade; he acquired a permanent workforce and organized his own credit arrangements.

   This recently-found independence was the sign of a new age. The division of labour between industry and other kinds of business was nearing completion. Historians tell us that this is the beginning of industrial capitalism, and so it is. But they also tell us that this is when ‘true’ capitalism begins; I find that a much more questionable proposition. Is there such a thing a ‘true’ capitalism?(pp.595-598)

 

Rapid economic growth at the time of the Industrial Revolution, according to Braudel, accentuated the division of labor in every sector of English society :

The composition of every society undergoing long-term growth is inevitably affected by the division of labour. This was everywhere at work in England. The Restoration, and in particular with the Bill of Rights of 1688, marks the beginning of a division with far-reaching consequences. Another example would be the way a cultural sector (from education to the theater, newspapers, publishing houses and learned societies) was gradually emerging as an increasingly independent world. The world of commerce was also being split apart, a process I have rather too briefly described. And lastly a modification of the occupational structure was taking place, along the lines of the classic scheme first defined by Fischer in 1930 and by Colin Clark in 1940, namely that the primary sector (agriculture) although still dominant, was shrinking as first the secondary (industry) and then the tertiary (services) sector expanded.

   It is true that the distinction between the three sectors is far from crystal clear, and there are grounds for uncertainty on the exact borderline between even the first and second sectors (agriculture and industry sometimes overlap); as for the third, which is an amalgam of everything, questions could certainly be asked about its composition or its identification. It is usually taken to include all the ‘services’ –commerce, transport, banking, administration—but is it right to include domestic servants in this category? Should the hordes of domestic servants (in 1850, this was the second largest occupational group in England after agriculture, with over a million people) be placed in a sector theoretically marked by superior productivity? . . .

The development of a services revolution . . . could be seen as a counterpart of the agricultural revolution in relation to the industrial revolution.

   The place of services in the economy certainly expanded: it cannot he denied that transport developed; that commerce gave rise to many new functions; that the number of shops was always increasing and that they were tending to specialize; that businesses were expanding steadily if not on the whole particularly fast; that they were developing their own bureaucracies; that new categories of occupations were coming into being or taking on new functions: factors, accountants, inspectors, actuaries, commissioners. Banks had very small staffs it is true, but there were large numbers of them. The state, with its thousands of administrative responsibilities was acquiring its own bureaucracy, beginning to swell into an oversize body. There were more top-heavy state bureaucracies on the continent admittedly, but the British state was by no means a slim organization, despite delegating many of its functions. We shall not count the army, the navy or domestic service in the tertiary sector. But we should unquestionably make room in it for the growing number of liberal professions –doctors, lawyers, etc. The latter had begun their way up in the days of [the English statistician] Gregory King [1648-1712] and were being turned out in droves by the Westminster law schools. By the end of the eighteenth century all the professions were expanding steadily and tending to change their structures and traditional forms of organization.

   Did the tertiary revolution in eighteenth-century England have any effect of industrial takeoff? . . .  There is certainly no evidence that the expansion of a tertiary sector launched growth. But it was unquestionably a sign that growth was taking place.(pp.598-599)

 

The dialectical relationships between current events and long-term history is the leitmotiv of Frenand Braudel’s research. With this “prologue” to the present episode of our contemporary capitalist crisis, we look now at some of the historical documents –both social and political-- which this turbulence has produced in abundance, beginning with a critique of the present state of  electoral politics” in the context of Crisis Capitalism, as seen by James Corbett :

A Government of Morons

It has become embarrassing to be an American. Our country has had four war criminal presidents in succession. Clinton twice launched military attacks on Serbia, ordering NATO to bomb the former Yugoslavia twice, both in 1995 and in 1999, so that gives Bill two war crimes. George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and attacked provinces of Pakistan and Yemen from the air. That comes to four war crimes for Bush. Obama used NATO to destroy Libya and sent mercenaries to destroy Syria, thereby committing two war crimes. Trump attacked Syria with US forces, thereby becoming a war criminal early in his regime

Scenario ONE: Imagine that you are on board a ship, which is slowly sinking. There is no land in sight, and your radio transmitter is not functioning properly. There are several people on board and you care for them, deeply. You don’t want this to be the end of ‘everything’.

What do you do?

A) You fix for yourself a nice portion of fried rice with prawns

B) You turn on the TV set, which is still somehow miraculously working, and watch the news about the future Scottish referendum or on BREXIT

C) You jump into the water immediately, try to identify the damage, and then attempt to do something unthinkable with your simple tools and capabilities: to save the ship

Al-Qaeda Suicide Attack Kills 100+ Children, Women - Whodunit?

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46881.htm

by Moon Of Alabama

 

It is obvious that the suicide attack was committed by al-Qaeda in Syria. No government aligned element could have crossed into rebel held territory. The government aligned forces have not committed any suicide attacks while al-Qaeda as well as Ahrar al Sham have committed hundreds. This was a "rebel" suicide attack, likely by al-Qaeda, against government aligned civilian refugees.

But the BBC, CNN and other western media will not tell you that. CNN called the massacre "a hiccup". The first Washington report was illustrated

with a pastoral scene of "Shias" walking in a green field.  The write-ups disguise to the average reader on which side

that vast numbers of casualties of the incident were. They will not say who the likely culprits are.

Some insinuate, against all logic, that the government did it.

The most recent BBC report on the massacre is one of the worst of this propaganda genre.

Run for Your Life: The American Police State Is Coming to Get You

“We’ve reached the point where state actors can penetrate rectums and

vaginas, where judges can order forced catheterizations, and where police

and medical personnel can perform scans, enemas and colonoscopies

without the suspect’s consent. And these procedures aren’t to nab kingpins

or cartels, but people who at worst are hiding an amount of drugs that can fit

into a body cavity. In most of these cases, they were suspected only of possession or ingestion. Many of them were innocent... But these tactics aren’t about getting drugs off the street... These tactics are instead about degrading and humiliating a class of people that politicians and law enforcement have deemed the enemy.
