The post-WWII USA emerged as the military hegemon of Western capital defense force, against none other than the working people of the earth and the proposed anti-capitalism that their struggles influenced. Capital defended by the US lead alliance is not only of a US national basis, but also of Western Europe, England, Japan, its army is united. From S.Korea to Tasmania, From Greece to Greenland, from Grenada to Lithuania.

The exclusion of capitalists from the primary club is now emerging as a competitive force forming their own militaries, and with tendencies to cooperate with each other in the infant stage of #BRICS .
2 capitals in one market. Either they will collide and the hegemony of the original will emerge, or they will collide and 2 markets will emerge, i.e. 2 capitalisms.

And this 2nd scenario will be disastrous for the original capital but also the conflict will be even more disastrous for the people who, hypnotized by nationalism and racism, will serve the "capitals" losing their lives for those whose interests are diametrically opposite to their own.

#Guest #article by Dipl. Ing. #Jürgen #Uphoff: “The cardinal principle of #nature? #Dialectical #phenomenology of #matter - an attempt at a foundation”

Jürgen attempts to illuminate the “thing-in-itself” from a completely different #perspective and to strive for a “synthesis of #ontology and #epistemology”. In doing so, he intends to redefine the concepts of matter and #consciousness, which he wants to derive with the help of #Hegelian #dialectics.

"Hegel & Hegelians were standing upside down and it was Marx who turned them and made them stand the right way" is an often repeated statement in #Marxist discourses. I have often understood that as Marx took the ideas of Hegel and turned it the other way around. i.e in abstract terms Marx took Hegel's #Dialectical Idealism & turned it into Dialectical #Materialism.

Comrade Taimur Rahman offers a very simple yet brilliant explanation of what it means.

From my point of view, Jürgen tries to shed light on this problem with the "thing-in-itself" from a completely different perspective, the methodology of which he calls a "dialectical phenomenology of matter" and, in my opinion, strives for a "synthesis of ontology and epistemology".

He intends to give the terms "matter" and "consciousness" a new definition, which he wants to derive with the help of Hegelian dialectics. In my humble opinion, this does not succeed in overcoming the supposed dualism, which I had already mentioned several times in old essays, e.g. "Der Paradigmenwechsel - oder die Sanierung des dualistischen Wissenschaftsgebäudes" (https://philosophies.de/index.php/2021/03/31/der-paradigmenwechsel/).

Quote of the day:

“The purpose of #dialectical or negative thinking is to expose and then overcome by revolutionary action the contradictions by which advanced industrial societies are constituted. The problem of concealment occurs here because not only does society produce contradictions and the forms of domination that come with them, but also produces the social and psychological mechanisms that conceal these contradictions.” - Arnold Farr on #Marcuse
