STAMMHEIM and FIGHT CLUB


Stammheim proverb: Terror is a self-defense against the state.

 

You don't have freedom, you don't have democrasy. Today one billion people in the world suffer because of USA.

 

I am an ateist living in an Islam country. I hate Muslims, Christians, and Jews equally. ‘Cihad’ and ‘crusade’ is the same: Killing people.

 

And the next: One hundred thousands in a match, one million in a concert. Or bombing nuclear reactors, real Hiroshima’s and Nagazaki’s.

 

A Turkish proverb: Wind cultivator reaps storm, blood cultivator reaps slaughterhouse.

 

This a distopia... But very realistic...

 

Footnote: Fight Club was not a soap-opera as you see...

MARC MELLO ASKS ‘SELF-DEFENSE AGAINST WHAT?’

 

‘Self-defence’ of / for the future. USA had killed the future by globalism. And there is a hole by extermination of September 11th. Remember anti-globalist actions everywhere. Why do they do it?

 

I have nothing personal with 50,000 deads. At least 500 of them were my citizens. We had had officially 40,000, unofficially 100,000 deads because of terrorism in the last 18 years. Which one of you did know it? None.

 

It will be a very hard time for futurologs for the next a few months. Negative sum games, minimin plays, no strategy, wrong targets, innocent victims... Enthropy has its own rules and we will learn many new ones of them. Good luck... I am in the middle of the fire...

 

We are the future, we are the death, and we wait for you too…

 

With my respects...

ART and FUTUROLOGOY

 

Yes. We may use art works to predict and interpret the future and past history. This is called politics of aesthetics.

 

Franz Kafka estimated concentration camps by Penalty Colony.

Walter Benjamin estimated inquisition and fascism of Israel by his essays.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder estimated United Germany’s new-Nazism (against my people) by Berlin Alexandr Platz.

Andrey Tarkovski estimated perestroika by Mirror but he refused to live in a future which doesn’t include him like Stephan Zweig.

Alberto Vazquez-Figueroa estimated head transplantation by New Gods.

Science-fiction novels estimated every technological innovation.

Asimov wrote a future history of one million planets and ten to the seventeeth people.

Ursula K. Le Guin imagined and created a non-linear time sequence for history as ‘7-1-8-2-9-3-10-4-11-5-12-6-13’ and we need it now fatally / vitally.

John le Carre estimated the bomb which killed Ugur Mumcu in 1993 (who was most effective political journalist in my country).

Unabomber estimated these fanatic polybombers and living bombs.

Alain Minc estimated new middle age in the same named book.

Bertram Gross estimated USA’s friendly fascism in the same named book in 1980.

Pina Bausch estimated and created soft matriarcal fascism by all her coreographies.

(Japanese) Butoh dancers imagined and realized that Hirosima and Nagazaki doesn’t belong to Japanese culture anymore.

In the past: Hyerenomous Bosch estimated renaissance in the Middle Age and Inquisition period.

 

Is it enough?

 

Yes. Fight Club estimated September 11th 2001. Credit card user semantically equals to stock-broker.

So. What do we estimate for the next step? I think it exists in the best-sellers. To me it is a Barbara Streisand concert in the Central Park or NBA final match.

 

War is very poetic if you are not the one has died or wounded. Extermination of Twin Towers in live was very poetic. Wasn’t it? David hits / beats Goliad.

DECADANCE and FERMENTATION

 

Hegel had set a relationship between two opposite statements as thesis and anti-thesis: They meet, struggle, and synthesize.

 

But not always:

 

He sets a different possibility more: Decadance.

 

Thesis and anti-thesis may decay one by one or together.

 

In 1989 (‘so-called’) real socialism was decayed by capitalism or was supposed so…

 

In 2001 we look at again and see number one USA may decay too…

 

But remember, there were evidences: In 1986 there was perestroika but was Challenger diseaster too…

 

Something decays and smells very badly…

 

How long and much a thesis category may decay? Into pieces? Into atoms? Into quarks? Into proto-quarks? Into nothingness? For ever? And ever?

 

You know that organic material may ferment. This is a decadance too…

 

History decays, i.e. ferments. After many decades of fallowing new cultural products will be synthesized.

 

When? Of course after our deaths…

 

Our biographies will be manure for the history.
