    "Populations are resigned to the sadness of work, even as they are told that automation is making their jobs disappear. We must regain the optimism of that Seventies moment, just as we must carefully analyse all the machineries that capital deployed to convert confidence into dejection. Understanding how this process of consciousness-deflation worked is the first step to reversing it."

  12. Waarom oorlog?

    Twaalf Bronstijd-oorlogsgoden, Yazilikaya

    Waarom bestaat er eigenlijk zoiets als oorlog? De mens is vanzelfsprekend niet de enige soort die zichzelf te gronde richt. Andere primaten, zoals stokstaartjes en chimpansees, weten er ook wel raad mee, dus het lijkt me geen al te woeste aanname dat agressie diep in ons zit. Het lijkt er bovendien op dat groepsdwang een rol speelt: stokstaartjes vechten als roedels tegen andere roedels. Het gedrag van de vroegste mensen zal dus niet heel anders zijn geweest dan het conflict aan het begin van 2001. A Space Odyssey.

    Archeologisch bewijs?

    We redeneerden in de vorige alinea vanuit een algemeen biologisch patroon, net zoals we doen als we het hebben over de oorsprong van de menselijke taal. Archeologen hebben echter ook direct bewijs gevonden voor menselijke agressie, zoals kannibalisme in het Paleolithicum, waarbij overigens meestal onduidelijk is of het slachtoffer vooraf werd gedood of dat men zich tegoed deed aan iemand die al overleden was. Verder is er geen enkel bewijs voor collectief geweld. Oorlog is, om zo te zeggen, niet iets waar ze in de Steentijd aan deden.

    Een eerste, heel ambigue aanwijzing daarvoor is er in het twaalfde millennium v.Chr. in Jebel Sahaba, in het uiterste noorden van Soedan. Daar zijn de geraamtes ontdekt van negenenvijftig mensen die gewelddadig aan hun einde zijn gekomen. Dat er vervolgens werk is gemaakt van een nette uitvaart, suggereert echter een rituele dood; deze mensen zijn niet gesneuveld in een oorlog, maar lijken meer op mensenoffers.

    Sociale ongelijkheid

    We krijgen pas onloochenbaar bewijs voor oorlogvoering als we al een flink eind in het Neolithicum zijn gevorderd. Ergens rond 5300 v.Chr. ontstaan er verschillen in huizenbouw en grafrituelen, en die weerspiegelen groeiende ongelijkheid. Anders gezegd, er ontstaan groepen die meer en minder profiteren van wat de samenleving zoals produceert, en daardoor ontstonden er, zoals Adam Smith rond 1776 al wist, diverse klassen, die niet dezelfde belangen hadden. Zo bezien is de geschiedenis van alle sinds 5300 v.Chr. bestaande maatschappijen een geschiedenis van klassenstrijd. Burgeroorlog is ouder dan oorlog.

    De vraag is natuurlijk wat daarvan de inzet kan zijn geweest. Waarom streed men? In zijn recente boek Dageraad laat Johan Hendriks diverse theorieën de revue passeren. Ging het om bezit, zoals Karl Marx opperde? Of om gezag, zoals Max Weber schreef? Of moeten we Herbert Marcuse volgen, die de vraag omkeerde en niet het conflict centraal stelde, maar erop wees dat de machtigere klassen de machteloze klassen apaiseerden door ze zicht te laten houden op een betere toekomst? Dat zou voor bijvoorbeeld de Bandkeramiekcultuur

    kunnen betekenen dat de bewoners van de grote huizen ook de (mogelijk aan hen ondergeschikte) inwoners van de kleinere huizen voorzagen in hun voedselbehoefte, waardoor ze én afhankelijk én weinig opstandig waren.

    Hendriks noemt diverse voorbeelden van archeologisch bewijs voor neolithisch collectief geweld, m.a.w. voor iets dat we als “oorlog” kunnen typeren. Vanaf het moment dat de ongelijkheid toeneemt, heeft er collectieve agressie bestaan, zoveel is duidelijk, maar Hendriks blijft voorzichtig als het gaat om de duiding daarvan. De precieze inzet blijft in het ongewisse en denkelijk was die ook niet altijd dezelfde. Maar toen oorlog eenmaal deel uitmaakte van het menselijk repertoire, werden we er beter in. In de Bronstijd werden de bijlen en messen die we al hadden, aangepast tot strijdbijlen en zwaarden.

    Onrobuuste informatie

    Terwijl ik dit deel van Hendriks’ boek las, voelde ik het meest voor Marcuses omkering: de wortels van de (burger)oorlog zijn het probleem niet, veel interessanter zijn de mechanismen om conflicten te bedwingen. Bied je tegenstanders perspectief, verdeel ze door de aandacht af te leiden met een (schijn)tegenstander, presenteer de bestaande situatie als de natuurlijke, als de onvermijdbare, als de door de goden gesanctioneerde. De stem van god klinkt nogal eens als die van de heersende klasse.

    Dat klinkt allemaal heel logisch, en wie weet was het in het diepe verleden ook wel zo, maar feitelijk projecteren we zo onze eigen ideeën over geweld en heerschappij op de schaarse en ambigue gegevens over de Oudheid. I.D.O.H.Z.O. oorlog – ja, zeker, maar we moeten ons er bewust van zijn dat oudheidkundige data zelden werkelijk robuust zijn. We zullen de vraag naar de herkomst van oorlog op een andere manier moeten beantwoorden dan met het oudheidkundig instrumentarium, en helaas is er voldoende bewijs dat wel voldoende robuust is.

  13. 🧵 2/2

    ....Marcuse engaged in a wide ranging discussion of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School and of his own work in an interview with Bryan Magee for the BBC series Men of Ideas:

    The Frankfurt School - Herbert Marcuse & Bryan Magee (1977)
    youtu.be/U23Ho0m_Sv0?si=DIXaRE

    Of course Marcuse's claims can be questioned, but more than half a century later his ideas and those of his Frankfurt School colleagues remain a vital resource for critical engagement with society.

  15. In Defense of the Frankfurt School
    By Mike Watson
    The Frankfurt School, a group of theorists who grappled with the defeat of Europe's revolutionary left, are often misunderstood. Critics charge them with obscurantism and elitism. They argued that, on the contrary, it was capitalism that obfuscated reality.

    Democracy with Totalitarianism Organisation

    Today, we live in the logic of the following essay which pushed for Democracy with Totalitarianism Organisation:

    Repressive Tolerance by Herbert Marcuse.

    Repressive Tolerance was written in 1965 and is an exemplar foretaste of the political climate which operates today. Simply put, ‘It seems rooted in the idea that, if you feel morally superior there’s nothing you can’t do to others, and they must step out of the way or be punished‘. Hence ‘cancel culture ‘, atonement (even encouragement) of ANTIFA’s protests and violence despite COVID; push for Mass Formation by the mainstream – common in Totalitarian states in the early 20th Century and the scourge towards disparaging and obstructing those choosing to be unvaccinated are testament to these kinds of theorists and are just the tip of the iceberg of what have seen in recent times. One of Marxists’ favorite words to project onto their enemies is “mystification.” Everyone, they insist, who isn’t on board with their twisted program is “mystified” about the true nature of reality, which they have, of course, discovered and delineated in unique clarity (in their own estimation, anyway).

    James Linday says, ‘I want people to come in contact with this and engage it and understand it. It’s very important to realise this is what we are living in. If you can realise it, you can see it. And if you can understand it, you can explain it.’

    Colours of Light

    What colours does white light contain?

    All the colours of the spectrum (as seen through a prism). The infrared light at hot end and and ultraviolet light at cold end. All three primary colours add together make white light: red + green + blue = white. White light is actually made of all of the colours of the rainbow because it contains all wavelengths, and it is described as polychromatic light. Light from a torch or the Sun is a good example of this.
