Re: <nettime> Fwd: Re: Forms of decisionism |
Brian poses the right questions. As for regulation theory mixed with kondratiev please also see (in addition to paul mason) my two 2009 contributions which built on stuff posted on nettime https://www.academia.edu/9343417/Climate_Anarchists_vs_Green_Capitalists (pag 5-6) and http://www.agenziax.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/anarchy-in-the-eu.pdf (pages after 230 for the full model) - what just want to say that this is the crisis of neoliberalism not the crisis of capitalism. it's a regulation, deflationary crisis like the Great Depression with attendant fascist danngers. neoliberalism cannot regulate informationalism properly, it cannot distribute widely and/or guarantee consensus. the regulation regime after the Great Depression was solved by war, but national socialism was as apt as democratic socialism in solving the problems of fordism. i contend ideology is mighty important in our predicament much as it was in the 1930s and 1940s in shaping the future. Call it the Dickian moment in history. Fordism could carry either the swastika or the whites. Everything is weird, and there's many men in many high castels, but an alternative to european and islamic fascism needs to be found and fast. Neoliberalism won when it subjected political to economic power. We need to find a way for social power to subject political and financial power. But most especially there needs to be ideological production of a Universal Federation of the Peoples of Earth. Crucially, the new radical ideology needs to redistribute, but also to give sense and meaning to people's lives. The Black Star of the Uprooted and Exploited needs to rise again from the ashes - in what guise: TechnoPopulism might be a good name - who knows - let's be the Surrealists who enter major ideological debate: I side with Errejon;) baby's cryin lx On Sun, Jul 17, 2016 at 4:35 PM, Felix Stalder <felix@openflows.com> wrote: I begin to worry about the theory of the three crises, which Brian, building on "regulation school" research and "long wave" economic theories, has put forward, which has been at the core of the techno-politics project in which I'm deeply involved, and which informed many of the the most productive threads within nettime over the last, say, 5 years. <...> # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
