yes..it looks like we have diverged but its not on me.....
life is dialectic,many sided in which all sides are related/relative, interdependent. what looks confusing does not have to be, being often the different sides/aspects of one issue..nothing at all separate and distinct. but its how this unity exists
here are the american people..at one time revolutionary and socially creative, credited with giving the world a new form of government, putting kings in their places...teaching their..and the world.. children the revolutinary glory of their formative story/and at another reactionary and opposed to the very same revolutionary all over the world bombing to stone age any and all such efforts by people to solve their problem
what experience holds these opposites together?
in Jamaca we have a very creative experience and its brilliant results. on examination we find that same revolutionary creativity is different in no aspect at all from the same that the americans claim as their glorious formative story. but we find n difference also in th Russia people in 1971 in the collapse of the central authority creating the social organization that successfully solved the social breakdown and continued social order
and everywhere you find the same social behavior by the people especially in crisis that reorders things and bequeaths to succeeding generations new political forms or social organization that takes society forward..so much so that ways extant in any social reality currently is the product of such previous collective behavior of the people
well..why isnt such behavior always be on display, informing all social behavior, all the time? why for example..in Jamaica such creativity doe s not find expression on national issues especially economics where reform..indeed revolution is urgently required because the Jamaica people as people anywhere are currently enslaved by financial means elongated from or by the City of London and Walls Street in New York
how can the Jamaincan people apply such creativity as they undoubtedly posses on their national economic crisis?
well we can see how the crisis developed from one stage to another...that there was a previous crisis that led to that old stage that led to this current one and that the central is was class based then as it is now, and that the stage of social development made the current relationship of the classes possible. it mean that a minority class would still control socially and that exploitation was the name of the game ensuring that a revolution for freedom of popular creativity lay ahead when the social realty had developed sufficiently to waste out the domination of the exploitative class in place that had benefited from the previous crisis, that had used the people in revolutionary ferment to achieve domination under all the creativity that had taken place. the dominant class had usurped that creativity and reasserted a social domination of themselves in place of the one before
that domination had stopped the peoples reforms in asserting its domination, used or incorporated whatever the people created that could not be turned back but is such ways that it fed the new dictatorship. but when that new dictatorship becomes old by time and the internal development that it encouraged, technological advance we have a new crisis that again can be solved by loosing the peoples creativity in revolutionary collective activity on the the crisis
and of course that would incur he opposition of the dictatorship now old and useless but still with the intent of going on endlessly. they people/time/technological advance will put an end to that. they cannot go on but their efforts will ensure a huge social fight..a revolution.
that then is the experience that holds all those seeming opposites in relationship, that appears to make a confusion but its not a confusion if you have the time to unravel the detail rich interdependence in reality.
hnce the Yardies for now can release thier frustrated creativity on athletics without interference from their elites. but once it attempts to outstrip those confines the official response comes..will be swift and relentless.
if a bunch of young jamaican economists say for example: this financial slavery will end in our elimination as a society and that is untenable, how can we rid ourselves of this?
they come up with an answer like this: how much money do we have..can we pull together...20million Jamaican which isnt a lot of money converted to the Canadian for example and make a bank and proceeds to print/create a new script/dollar to a benchmark of say the CD to establish a new but relative value that would protect all inside that script, eliminate alli nflation withing the area of its intended use.
and with that money rope in only local farmers who play along and get them going, then market all they produce with that script by buying Jamaican dollars from those who wish to purchase for that script at the proper prices in the market..the old.script can be used to buy on the open market what is needed inside the area of the new script
they can go all the way with that script to replacing the current Jamaica dollar and free Jamaican entirely from forrin financial domination by using the new money..that has become totally revolutionary. now there you go it would be more difficult that that but the details would be worked out easily. the real difficulty would come in the social confrontation it would precipitate between the people and the Jamaican elite beholden to forrin interest.
the elites would send in the police/military and ultimately forrin invasion.
but the creativity is there. our mythical economists are an example. but they are not so mythical for there have been such ideas going around for long now and a few small attempts already have been made that creativity has been bottled up in elitist social control for as long as their dictatorship has been in place. but it is always there, every where in the world. in all people, seeking expression.
but we must understand the nature of society to detect it always and that is simple. class contradictions is the way society functions..has functioned up to this point. it is on its last legs for with the level of technology achieved we can now create a new social type..which is an old type.. that is not class based but what we call egalitarian, communal or communist the most loaded word of all.
but communist is the way human society began and we are headed straight back to it but on a higher level..the highest level of human advance achieved so far
I am not contradictory at all Gils. at least I am not trying to be.
you difficulty Gils is that your world, your view of things is bordered by the contiguous limitations of the Yardy land mass and culture. all you do, everywhere you have been and lived has been collated into a view of things that is Jamaica centred. that is by no means impossible in the world..indeed it is easily explicable especially if your skin is dark..a Black Jamaican, west indian...
that is why what I say may be confusing to you. I am not limited by anything such. I refuse to be. I dont see humanity in any such limited ways and all I work for is a means to an end that is human...for very good reason..indeed there is no other reason. an not humanity it is currently constituted but to make humanity so to speak, the real humanity who are yet to come..for wthout such he/she we aint going on much further..
wat say you...have I made any sense further...I tried
