ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY -- see especially the works of Robert Graves, Marija Gimbutas, Barbara Mor, Gavin Menzies, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Thomas E. Sanders and Walter W. Peek -- strongly suggest there was indeed an evolutionary arc toward humanitarian cooperation and justice during the approximately 194,000 years before the terminally ecogenocidal imposition of patriarchy began turning our previously female-centered1 species against our Mother Earth some 6000 years ago.
So do the many First Nations' descriptions of prehistoric visitors to the Americas as benefactors rather than conquerors.
Were this not so -- were there no such cooperative solidarity -- we'd never have been able to survive four ice ages, not to mention all the volcanic, seismic, bacteriological and zoological horrors that confronted us during our species' approximately 200 to 300 millennia.
How then did patriarchy -- misogyny maximized to ecogenocide -- manage to conquer us with its suicidally divisive, every-man-against-everyone-else ideology? And why are we unable to free ourselves from its shackles?
*****
IN BITTER TRUTH, our patriarchal Masters are infinitely more evil than we dare imagine; they beset us in every way possible. Abrahamic theocracy proclaims patriarchy essential to counteract the (alleged) inferiority of all non-whites and to suppress the (alleged) sinfulness of all females, our Mother Earth most assuredly included. Hindu and Buddhist patriarchies view all females with equal contempt. Whites are conditioned to despise all people of color; in turn, peoples of color learn to despise all whites. Gender itself is weaponized, pitting males against females and females against males, tainting even our most basic instincts with fear, distrust and contempt. Such is the ultimate balkanization purposefully inflicted by identity politics, the strategy by which our Masters perpetuate the extremes of cultural divisiveness they know inevitably leads to nazi race war, thereby ensuring we will never be able to unite and overthrow them.
Meanwhile our Masters claim capitalism's terminal transformation to neoliberalism -- that is, to the localized variants of nazism -- is unavoidable because "society" itself is naught but delusion, or so their ever-more-apocalyptic lies pretend. Survival for each of us, they insist, thus demands endless, utterly merciless competition against all others. Exactly as intended, the disunity so perpetuated combines with inescapable surveillance and ever-more-thorough censorship to guarantee the human solidarity essential for even minimal reform remains out of our collective reach forever -- that is, until the present world order is no more.
Ecogenocide thus rules our entire planet. Hidden for decades by
our Masters' cunningly contrived vocabularies of deception, its
escalating ruin has become too deadly to conceal and too overwhelming to
counteract or even minimally ameliorate; thus inescapably doomed to
extinction or slavery by our Masters' apocalyptic mandates whether
disguised as "neoliberalism" or "Marxism," the entire global 99 Percent
is now reduced to the future as defined by the alternatives of rage,
hopelessness and final surrender Kübler-Ross identified as our species'
psychological norms for medically foreseen dying and/or grieving.
The prime so-called "neoliberal" perpetrator of our doom is of course USian imperial capitalism, which Hitler himself hailed as the global role-model for governance by mass murder; the prime Marxist example is the People's Republic of China, its so-called "Marxism" nothing more than the dishonestly labeled imperialism of state capitalism -- profiteering by the state (rather than by some hereditary plutocracy) -- with its institutionally protected moral imbecility every bit as deadly as that inflicted by our own avowedly capitalist Masters.
Note too how Christonazism, Islamic nazism, Hindu nazism, the “neo” resurrections of Original German Nazism and all the other
forms of nazism whether doctrinal or existential are all cunningly
euphemized as mere "fascism." Obviously this deception is intended to suppress the potential of revolutionary awakening implicit in the torture-chamber/death-camp corpse-stench inevitably generated by usage of "Nazi" or "nazi" in any of its grammatical forms.2
Accurate reading of patriarchal history also strongly suggests our Masters allowed us socialism and social democracy only when they were assured the proponents of each would carefully suppress any acknowledgement of patriarchy's ecogenocidal deadliness; study the Marxism-and-Feminism chapter (pages 13-20) of the carefully footnoted Barbara Mor work cited below for a brilliantly summarized rediscovery of the patriarch-suppressed awareness shared by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels that our lost egalitarian cooperativeness had been the socioeconomically logical product of our prehistoric matriarchal proto-communism; contemplate too the implicit suggestion Marx and Engels might also have been concerned true socioeconomic equality would prove restorable only by matriarchy's renewal, notions now carefully excluded from formal Marxian ideology.
Beyond that, social democracy is invariably the ultimate political scam, capitalism allegedly "reformed" -- though only in "change-we-can-believe-in" charades that could never threaten our Masters' omnipotence, our boiled-frog enfeeblement and subjugation thus always perpetuating (and often reinforcing) capitalism's ability to eventually transform itself permanently into nazism.
Though socialism includes the World Socialist Web Site -- our best, most reliable present-day source of accurate information about what our Masters are actually doing to us -- WSWS nevertheless yet tries to convince us to accept Marxism's one and only historically proven Big Mistake: its claim the horrors of patriarchy and its ideological and socioeconomic descendants are merely transitional discomforts, necessary growth-pains in an allegedly "inevitable" march toward universal equality and justice -- a "march" we now must recognize as wholly imaginary, naught but myth, misunderstanding and finally a Big Lie.
To bad for us (and all the more power to the forces attacking our species and our planet), even our most sincere would-be savior continues to discredit itself by deluging us with apocalyptic falsehoods about "progress" and the "moral arc" of history -- the arc that in any accurately labeled archaeo-historical timeline reveals our species' most inescapably damning truth: that beginning maybe six-thousand years ago it bends relentlessly toward subjugation and extinction. I hardly need point out persistence in such deception merely confirms the deceiver's utter inability to reason toward any additional possibility of ever evolving truly effective resistance.
"Progress" -- whether adjectivally capitalist or Marxist -- is thus by far our species' most destructive self-contradictory noun. It is also the deliberately ecogenocidal cancellation of any and all hope for human survival.
It may therefore seem to some we are indeed witnessing the "end of history" proclaimed in 1989 by Francis Fukuyama -- albeit in a manner that forever denies us even the very few positive Working Class outcomes he and all the other neoliberal liars claimed to foresee. Not only have our Masters permanently eradicated the former (extremely limited) New Deal social democracy; the socioeconomic savagery they've gloatingly imposed on us since then is -- exactly as intended -- eliminating empathy itself: note the self-obsessed moral imbecility exemplified by Hillary Clinton's obscene celebration of Omar Gaddafi's execution by anal impalement. Note too how its horror was popularly reduced to reality-television fun rather than the dire warning of run-amok evil it remains to anyone still fully human. With our Masters' reign of perpetual warfare deliberately metastasized from the imperial rat-lab of the Middle East to methodical imposition on all the peoples of our wounded planet, the resultant atrocities are everywhere suppressing the remnants of humanitarian consciousness with the apocalyptic venom of social-Darwinism.
Meanwhile let us never forget the ultimate lesson of our present-day plight: that patriarchy achieves its final fulfillment only as nazism -- which, short of some humanitarian miracle, means from now on, the very best any of us in the 99 Percent can ever expect are lives of constantly worsening, ultimately deadly poverty, this intended to exterminate all of us deemed "surplus workers" and force the enslavement of any 99-Percenter who somehow manages to survive this new, global, slow-motion holocaust.
*****
T0 FREE OURSELVES from such shackles, we must first cast off the self-censorship imposed by the K-12 brainwarping that teaches so many of us to despise the study of history; once we do, we discover two of our species' more potent truths: firstly, that the real U.S. history -- that is, the ecogenocidal history relentlessly tabooed by our Masters -- quickly makes it clear why Adolf Hitler regarded the United States as the prototypical nazi nation; secondly, we discover history as a compellingly dynamic record of human experience rather than the repugnant tedium of meaningless memorization to which it has been deliberately reduced by our USian Masters' education policy.
Then maybe we'll begin to comprehend the inescapable totality of the Orwellian/Machiavellian methodology by which our Masters are subjugating and re-enslaving us. And perhaps some of us will then find the courage to embark on the even-more-daring quest for genuinely sustainable humanitarian solutions -- outcomes that might save our species and our planetary motherland -- which are therefore the very outcomes patriarchy has always denied us.
By
far the best over-view of the innumerable achievements of our
relentlessly tabooed pre-patriarchal millennia is Barbara Mor’s
501-page, convincingly footnoted expansion of an illustrated pamphlet
by Monica Sjöö: The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth, (Harper & Row: 1987, 1991). Gavin Menzies, The Lost Empire of Atlantis (William
Morrow: 2011), details his authoritative, extensively researched
hypothesis that the Minoans, whose pre-patriarchal civilization thrived
for at least a thousand years, were seafarers enough to organize the
first global trading commonwealth; bear in mind while reading Menzies
that First Nations accounts suggest an anciently widespread "old
people's" culture that was based on barter and shared knowledge rather
than on conquest and slavery. Marija Gimbutas, The Civilization of the Goddess: the World of Old Europe
(HarperCollins: 1991), summarizes the archaeological evidence that
proves the superior sustainability of Europe’s pre-patriarchal culture,
while Robert Graves, The White Goddess: an Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux: 1966/1982), explores in detail the
associated aesthetics and metaphysics. Thomas E. Sanders and Walter W.
Peek – their indigenous names respectively Nippawanock (Cherokee) and Metacomet (Narragansett-Wampanoag) – do likewise in their dated but nevertheless still relevant Literature of the American Indian (Glencoe Press: 1973). Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, An Indigenous People’s History of the United States (Beacon Press: 2014) documents in detail the patriarchy’s methodical extermination of those cultures.
The one book listed above that might prove difficult to obtain is Gimbutas' work, unfortunately one of our most important references -- its importance underscored by the relentless patriarchal censorship that has made her groundbreaking discoveries both difficult to find in local bookstores and prohibitively expensive when the search succeeds; this is because an ad hoc patriarchy of jealously hostile male academics have long conspired to keep her work out of print, which is why it is now also effectively censored by collector-pricing: on 11 August of this year, I was unable to find a usable copy of The Civilization of the Goddess priced at less than $62.59 plus tax and shipping. But Bookfinder.com – the source at which I begin all book searches – indicates the other recommended texts remain available at rational prices.
However, if the Christonazi conquest of the United States continues as predicted, all such works will undoubtedly be banned as “heretical,” with mere possession far more feloniously deadly than my illegal possession of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl was in theocratic Ku Klux Tennessee c. 1959.
It is a bit of an aside, but I am thus reminded of how in the always-sadistically biblical South, a basic D. R. Bliss Family rule was to never publicly acknowledge our extensive home library. Why? Because in the South of the 1940s and ‘50s -- reading politically illegal books (and my father had more than one of those) -- could get you beaten, jailed, beaten again and maybe even killed -- same as in today's soon-to-be 41-state neo-Confederacy.3
Meanwhile we see how patriarchy radically re-defines our consciousness and being, reducing each of us to mere commodities intended only for profitable exploitation. Our world, and by implication the entire universe, is thus shrunken to the womb-less ejaculate of some seemingly divine, viciously sadistic "involuntary celibate," the invading usurper-god who dares claim he created Planet Earth only six thousand years ago -- not coincidentally just about when the patriarchal threat becomes archaeologically obvious.
So now at Christmas the multitudes immortalize the divine victimization of a certain working-class Nazarene named Mary in a galaxy-caliber atrocity that redefines rape as "immaculate conception" -- which is of course the true but oft-concealed "conception-is-always-an-act-of-god" reason the Christonazis sadistically refuse rape and incest victims the medical, emotional and material rescue provided by abortion.

SOME OF US, a growing few, are at last coming to understand the ultimate and truly apocalyptic danger of capitalism is that it will always morph into nazism -- that nazism is its only possible outcome. That's because capitalism's transformation to nazism is in fact inescapable: the inevitable consequence of capitalism's powerfully symbiotic proto-nazi combination of greed, moral imbecility and technological omnipotence.
Many more of us now also recognize ecogenocidally misogynistic religion, capitalism and nazism as direct descendants of patriarchy and thus properly name patriarchy as the ultimate perpe-traitor of our looming doom.
As
indeed we damn well should; already -- this in addition to the USian
wars of extermination waged against First Nations peoples -- we have a
144-year litany of post-Reconstruction atrocities within the separate
states. It begins with the U.S. Government's formal re-imposition of
national white supremacy in 1877; it gains momentum with white
supremacy's confirmation by SCOTUS in 1896; it triumphs, first by giving
legions of Nazi war criminals governmental and Big Business sanctuary;
next by the ideological reversals inflicted by the 11-year political
murder spree that (apparently) began with the un-prosecuted slaying of
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and (seems to have) ended with the
un-prosecuted martyrdom of Karen Silkwood; lastly by the election of
Ronald Reagan -- Ronnie the Nazi to those of us who saw beyond his
disguises -- the Powell Memo disciple whose clandestine mode of
nazification unstoppably began the deliberate USian march toward destruction of the federal union and increasing international recognition
of USia as our species’ ultimate -- and ultimately apocalyptic --
“failed state”: a very real Public Enemy Number One.
Now, as a consequence, we suffer the present-day, de facto imposition of ecogenocidal theocratic tyranny by the Christonazi Supreme Court -- an affliction as destructive to human society as terminal cancer is to the human body.
Nor is it by accident those 144 years of USian atrocities have unstoppably skyrocketed into permanent ChristoNazi omnipotence. Humanitarian "progress" is thus proven impossible, never more than deception or delusion, with the only "moral arc" discernable in our species' history leading exclusively toward ever-more-maximized tyranny and utterly inescapable re-enslavement -- its perpetrators granted real-world omnipotence by the caste-prohibited wealth necessary to counter a technology of oppression already so inexplicably far beyond any 99-Percenter's ability to resist, it ensures our Masters rule is forever: that is, until our entire species is extinct.
Therefore let us now dare ask our species' most decisive question:
How
then -- save by some form of extraterrestrial rescue (though only after
they’ve raped our Mother Earth back to bug-planet permanence) -- can
our Masters imagine they will escape the apocalyptic destruction they
are so wantonly inflicting on all the rest of us?
___________________________
1I say "female-centered" to discourage the patriarchal attacks intended to suppress the increasingly irrefutable archaeological evidence our species was originally matriarchal or at the very least matrifocal and matrilinial.
2"Nazi" -- cap "N"-- is Weimar Republic slang that has since become a proper noun for Germany's N.S.D.A.P., the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei;
"nazi" -- lower-case "n" -- is what our Masters deceptively label
"fascism": localized and relentlessly euphemized nazism as in the
Ukraine, the Russian Federation, today's China plus of course the USian
as-yet undeclared neo-Confederacy, Pinochet's Chile and all USia's
other hopelessly oppressed imperial puppets.
3Given
the permanent absence of anything akin to the Soviet
organized-resistance that terrified our nazi-minded Masters into
allowing us the nearly five decades of New Deal social democracy that
were forever terminated by the 1980 election, it seems obvious to me
that once our Masters complete the capture and theocratic "cleansing"
of their intended 41-state neo-Confederacy, only a strong military
alliance with a major foreign power would save the remaining nine
anti-nazi coastal states -- all of their populations forcibly
self-disarmed -- from conquest by Confederate blitzkrieg, its imperial
legions granted thermonuclear omnipotence by the doomsday arsenals of
the former United States. Worse still, I know of no nation that by then
would dare try stop the new C.S.A. from achieving its ultimate intent:
expanding Christonazi tyranny first to all North America, then to
whatever land on this planet remains habitable.
