What follows is my English translation of a short article by Adam Bark, originally in Italian, published on ComeDonChisciotte.org on Wednesday 20th November 2024.
Ismaele, Thank you for your review of Adam Bark, originally in Italian, published on ComeDonChisciotte.org 'socialism' (Latin 'socius' = 'friend') or 'communism' (L. 'com' = 'together' + 'munus' = 'gift-or-service' aka 'community').
However from what you've written here & in other of your blogs, Adam is perhaps is out of touch with the 17th century origins of these movements based in a return to understanding all humanity's worldwide 'Indigenous' (L 'self-generating') heritage based in peace & prosperity before the violence & resulting ignorance of Oligarch violence, invasion, genocide & destruction. www.indigenecommunity.info is a 61 year compilation of many complementary facets of humanity's indigenous heritage in 77 web-sections focused on such essential aspects, as accounting, governance & other aspect of human livelihood. Indigenous people worldwide express this as the CIRCLE-of-LIFE All humanity's worldwide indigenous ancestors & 1st Nations here cultivated an interdisciplinary Indigenous CIRCLE-of-LIFE, which provided checks & balances for accomplishing these Criteria successfully with immense abundance & peace, over many 10s of 1000s of years of vibrant, abundant, distributed wealth in loving societies. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/a-home/3-indigenous-circle-of-life
All humanity 'indigenous' (L 'self-generating') ancestors built cultural fractal Economic Memory within each social-economic-political function, similar to bodily autonomy based in integrated gene, cell, tissue, organ specialty action, 'ECONOMIC' MEMORY & decision-making authority, at each level integrated. Top-down neurology based in the brain as uniquely decisional has been examined & rejected over 90 years. The brain is but one nexus of information transfer. The stomach for example has more neurons than the brain. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/3-economic-memory
Etymologies are helpful because they help us understand the deeper meanings & origins of words. While Oligarch Hierarchy perverts the meaning of words & processes, they don't adhere to the Syllabic meanings within words. Words such as 'Socialist' (Latin 'socius' = 'friend'). 'Communist' (L. 'com' = 'together' + 'munus' = 'gift-or-service') have been completely perverted/misused opposite to their original meaning, which implies an intimate, cultural 'fractal' ('fraction, multiplier, building-block, where-the-part-contains-the-whole') typically empowering people from the bottom-up, not from the top-down. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/5-collaborative-language
Marx & Engels' later writing towards socialism & community for example are very much focused on such as the writings of Lewis Henry Morgan & his study of the 'Haudenosaunee' (Iroquois 'People-of-the-extended-rafters' aka 'welcome') of upstate New York & Canada. Few are aware of Friedrich Engels & Karl Marx's extensive correspondence with Lewis Henry Morgan on his work 'Ancient Society' or even Thomas Jefferson & Adams extensive influence by First Nation correspondents on ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy/8-economic-democracy
Its too bad that; apartheid, segregation & unconscious indoctrination in the minds of these settler political-economy colonial philosophers did not help them understand the deeper 10s of 1000s of years of ancient indigenous truths, which they were only barely aware of. These dysfunctional 'Designed-to-fail' fragments is what we've been indoctrinated in the west to think ever since. I began reading Marx, Engels, Hegel, Marcuse & other writers 60 years ago.
Petr Kropotkin as a Russian geographer & considered a leading 'Anarchist' ('without external imposed structure') bases 'Mutual-Aid' (published ~1915) & other works calling for a return to the multistakeholder progressive ownership of the GUILD system, such as he became familiar with upon living & working with many of Russia's 1st Nation indigenous peoples. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/a-home/9-mutual-aid

In connecting to our origins of many 10s of 1000s of years of peace & prosperity in harmony with each other, nature & the biosphere's enormous productivity, people are able to see through the perversions which Oligarch started making 7000 years ago in Babylon-Mesopotamia & in a continuous lineage of fake 'money' (Greek 'mnemosis' = 'memory') amnesia since.
Oligarch Fake metal-coin 'money' (Greek 'mnemosis' = 'memory') is the basis of Zionist amnesic control of Finance, Media, Religion, Education, Military-Industrial, Legislative, Judicial, Pharma-med & Agri-business COMPLEX in every empire since. Today's fake 'religions' (L. 'religio' = 'to-relate' aka 'not-to-indoctrinate-or-dominate') are based in submission worshipping of empire. 1st Oligarchy overthrows once 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') Babylon-Mesopotamia (5000 BC). Following the desertification & destruction of Babylon, Oligarchs packed up their metal printing presses to establish in Assyria, PHOENICIA (Kingdom-of-Israel + City-states of Tyr, Sidon, Byblos, Beirut). Phoenician Empire invades, genocides, occupies & colonizes control of all shores of the Mediterranean & Black (eg. Ashkenaz, Khazaria empires centered in Ukraine) Seas. Hence the Zionist war in Ukraine under dual-citizens Poroshenko & Zelensky with the sacrifice of >800,000 Slavs to date.
Indigenous Time-based equivalency accounting upon the worldwide STRING-SHELL Value system (Eg. Wampum on Turtle-Island/N. America, Quipu in S. America, Cowrie in indigenous Celtic-Slavic Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia & all islands) once universally recognized, valorized, compensated & empowered every 'economic' (Gk. 'oikos' = 'home' + 'namein' = 'care-&-nurture') contributor. String-shell integrates: 1) 'Capital' (L 'cap' = 'head' = 'collective-intelligence'), 2) 'Currency' = 'flow' of contribution, experience, expertise & decision-making acumen, 3) 'Condolence' = 'Social-Security', 4) Collegial mentored-apprentice 'education' (L 'educare' = 'to-lead-forth-from-within') Credit, 5) time-math Communication, 6) professional Costume plus more.
The indigenous system starts from the bottom-up in the collective Domestic 'economy' of the ~100 (50-150) person Multihome-Dwelling-Complex (eg. Longhouse-apartment, Pueblo-townhouse & Kanata-village). 70% of people today live in multihomes with an average of 32 dwelling-units = ~100 people. 20% of Multihome-dwellers are extended-families living intentionally in proximity for social & economic collaboration. Multihome-extended-family contribute trillions of $ of the most individually appropriate goods, services, sharing & caring/year as Turtle-Island, N-America's largest essential Economic sector, albeit unrecognized by government, education & institutions. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy/1-extending-our-welcome-participatory-multihome-cohousing
Women were most powerful within the Guilds of the Domestic economy, from the home, multihome, village, city, region, nation, confederacies, continental & hemispheric councils. Men held more sway within the Industrial & Commercial economy, but in support of the primary Domestic altogether in a worldwide system of Economic Democracy.
Women (& some men) having the tendency to contribute to Domestic labours are thus fully accounted for & empowered within their specialties such as Medicine, Accounting, Child-Elder-Handicapped-Injured-Ill animation & care. Many original colonizing 'exogenous' (L. 'other-generated') visitors upon 1st contact, considered most indigenous societies to be Matriarchies, because they had never seen this kind of female empowerment & stewardship of government, economy & society.
'Capital' (L 'cap' = 'head' aka 'collective-intelligence') or the recognition of all contributions to building such as productive equipment, building, rural & urban infrastructure is absolutely essential in the economic cycle. INDIGENOUS MULTISTAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATORY CORPORATE PRACTICE is organized through sovereign ownership by participant contributors, under the Production-Society-Guild charters to facilitate Founder, Worker, Manager, Supplier, Townspeople & Consumer share holding, ownership, decision-making & Board representation. Invested interest by progressive ownership stakeholders creates the decentralized trust of participants in each department & division of enterprises enabling decision-making & resources to be delegated throughout 'corporations' (L. 'corp' = 'body'). The core economy is that of the ~100 person Multihome as systems of intimate knowing & acting together. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy/2-participatory-accounting Participatory Companies http://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/7-participatory-companies
PERVERSION of modern understanding of socialism & communism goes back to Wall-Street's leading financier Jacob Schiff financing of Lev Davidovich Bronstein aka 'Trotsky' who was luxuriously housed, financed millions of 1917 USD$, groomed & chauffeured for many years in New York City before being provided with the SS Kristianfjord ship replete with 100s of New York City mercenaries & arms to turn violent the then peaceful Russian 'community' movement (largest in Europe) supported by Russian Czars. Schiff's colleague Warburg from Germany financed, armed & staffed Lenin to the same level /c millions. Reference for Schiff & Warburg's globalist oligarch perversion is researcher Antony Sutton in 'Wall Street & the Bolshevik Revolution'. https://www.voltairenet.org/IMG/pdf/Sutton_Wall_Street_and_the_bolshevik_revolution-5.pdf
ORGANIC INTELLECTUALS wishing to implement just distributed decentralized LIVELIHOOD systems should be willing to formally dialogue with each other. We are all prone to misunderstandings & need to employ each other as essential parts of collective intelligence needed to arrive at Love, Logic, Legislation & Liquidity. Both-sides-now, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogue. Dialectics (Socrates) was once part of all humanity's worldwide COUNCIL PROCESS, to raise issues Positive for agreement or for Conflict Resolution. While FREE-SPEECH’s the commonly thought of Right, Dialogue is the corresponding Responsibility for all public statements & acts. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues
FROM MONO TO DIALOGUE We’re best to distribute this opportunity as a process in all comment sections & blogs of the Social media we’re presently engaged with. Formal dialogue engages the human mind, reader & viewership. People are neurally 'dialectic' ('Both-sided') in our sensory systems (eg. Eyes, Ears, Nose, Hands, Arms, Legs etc), hence we recognize sincerity & truth from being able to consider both or all sides in every situation & decision. Governments, economy, MSM & the rest of captured Social Media not wishing to be ignored completely, will eventually get the message. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-communication-converting-social-media-from-mono-to-dialogue-libya
Response to Ismaele's "Multipolar oligarchies will not save us".
Well, Adam Bark got this far: "a construction of an alternative that subverts the founding values of capitalist hegemony: the idolatry of the market, consumerist alienation and the dissolution of collective identities in the name of an artificial universalism."
Which is more or less correct. And then he fucked it all up yet again as these guys always do:
"Genuine counter-hegemony must present itself as the dialectical overcoming of the existing order, capable of proposing an ethics of limitation as opposed to the narrowness of consumption, and of promoting a vision of the human being rooted in community and relationship, rather than atomised individualism."
This is why I don't adhere to limited ideologies. As the Situationists said once, "Ask someone which part of the old system should be retained. It will turn out to be absolutely everything."
This clown believes in "an ethics of limitation" which presumably means "we should all be poor to save the environment" (which is bullshit), "human rooted in the community" which presumably means under the control the community - at the top of which would be him, of course - and finally he is opposed to "atomistic individualism" - which is always the case in these socialist types.
What the hell difference is that from the existing neoliberal/neoconservative bullcrap?
Add to that the usual massive verbiage about "dialectics", "alienation", "bourgeoisie and the proletariat", etc. common to "intellectuals" of this sort. Yes, I've read the Situationists, as noted above, who also wallowed in this stuff, but occasionally could speak in plain English that did not require a university degree in Marxist Studies.
None of these people have a clue. The problem goes FAR deeper. It is rooted in human hierarchical primate nature and can only be "fixed" by altering that nature. Period. End of story.
In the meantime, one needs to become an individualist anarchist (NOT a classic "socialist anarchist" because they all buy into this mish-mash of verbiage), and a radical Transhumanist ("radical" because one recognizes the need for fundamental changes in the human species, indeed, the replacement of that species. not just its "enhancement".) One needs to individually reject the dominant paradigm of state, religion, morality, culture, society, civilization and human nature itself and devote oneself to the practical problem of survival in a chaotic civilization heading for an inevitable - but uneven - collapse.
This is what my Substack, "The Five Essentials", is intended to illuminate.
As Heath Ledger's Joker said: "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair."
