Introduction, conclusion.

This page has a higher aim then merely arbitrary Panda mugging of the precious and deeply sensitive Chinese. It is a loud beckon for a world beyond the industrial Capitalist/Communist ethos; a program of exploitation run on behalf of mega-industrialists, financiers, and Party officials who diabolically bend society to meet the ends of business and state in both China and the West.

Behind both is modern state authoritarianism, be it the bold, reckless and clearly visible manifestation of it in China or the more subtle and sinister manifestation of it in the West. In calling for a move beyond what is clearly in our day an absurd conjunction between Capitalist and Communist agendas, where one hand has provided the much needed capitol, know-how, and markets and the other the much needed cheap and tractable labor, there is a clear realization that both systems hold their citizens in line through a hegemonic education system and establismentarian media (not to mention an array of police mechanisms) that conditions them to become docile workers and consumers, and that this system is mostly indiscernible to those it bends into obedient and subordinate shape.

Together they form a total institution, one with the characteristics of a contemporary cruise line; Chinese workers way below deck tending the engines of production and living just above the bilges, and layers of Western workers and consumers in higher cabins, unaware of the extent to which they are really and actually being controlled, even constrained, within an environment of “luxury and security” designed to subtly manipulate their behavior in accordance with the plans of the “Captains of Industry” which were carefully formulated back in the days of the American robber barons. Docile and complacent, crew and patron alike are being transported on this neurotic voyage into an ice floe by the sociopaths who pilot this titanic mess. Blithely the violins play a swan song on this sinking ship.

This is the boat we are all in. This page hopes to somehow point to global prospects that transcend “business as usual”; in short, to an entirely new paradigm that could exist if the industrial Capitalist/Communist ethos were ever to be tossed in the historical recycling bin. I will admit, an ambitious - and for now ill-defined project - but one very good start on this long road toward a positive global shift would be an immediate end to any further foreign investment in China, and the definite halt in the production of any further foreign sponsored factories in China. The West needs to somehow put distance between itself and China. I confess, how this could be done and whether this could be done given the enormous scale of current economic co-dependence I can't say. I intend to continue my exploration into this possibility.
