Social cohesion has never been more fragile than at present. Developing an effective survival strategy in an age of bankrupt ideologies is a challenging but not impossible task. All known political ideologies have failed or are failing (including capitalism). The lack of viable alternatives betrays a 'whipped' and beaten Western population not a shortage of real options.
It is evident that the ‘powers of government' are at the mercy of criminal elites and extremists, unnecessary wars and global economic collapse indicate the fact.
A handful of extremists control the world's mostpowerful (at this moment) nation. The current world social reality isastounding if not absurd; never before have so few held sway over somany. No historical parallels exist.
It is imperative that the factors and forces involved in today’s socialstruggles are understood if successful strategies are to be developed andimplemented against oppressive, criminal regimes that specialise in killing innocent civilians and avoiding accountability.
How was capitalism able to survive and prosper against considerable ideological opposition for the few hundred relatively short years of its life and what were theprincipal factors involved in its apparent resilience against contending ideologies?
- Adaptability as opposed to the strict and rigid formulas of other ideologies.
- Appropriation as opposed to elimination.
- Attributive value addition as opposed to value subtraction.
- Mutability as opposed to locative rigidity.
The above is by no means complete, however, it is sufficient for aclear case to be made – the reader is urged (obliged) to continue theprocess.
The major weakness of capitalism is its complete reliance on the valueof money – which of course has no value at all – value is attributive,all value is endowed by you! You have been thoroughly trained toaccept the value of objects presented as ‘valuable’, whereas inactuality, no real value exists. The reader will note that thehandful of extremists who have severely impacted capitalist societyplace no value on money or any other material object. The lessonto be learnt here is devaluation of everything that is valued! Taken to the extreme it would include the devaluation of human lifeincluding the life of the ‘warrior’. Capitalism or any otherideology is powerless against this type of assault. One freedomfighter, Patrick Henry, “give me liberty or give me death”,instinctively understood the above principles.
A Jewish social reformer once said, in so many words, those who placeimportance on their lives automatically lose (their lives). Aneternity as a dog does not equal a minute as a Lion!
The abstract is more powerful than the tangible, never forget it! Closed social formulas always defer to abstract ideals; however, forpractical purposes avoid all formal ideologies, marXism etc, closedsystems always fail; adaptability and mutability always prevail.
Always offer support but never seek it – mutual cooperation is theideal. Do not follow leaders or lead followers; the group orcommunity is a single unit, regardless of the number of individualcomponents.
Always ‘inscribe’ never subscribe – no one else can follow your coursenor you follow another’s course. Every man and woman is distinct.

The objective is realised through/by inversion. Prevailing value systems are eroded by exactly those forces/factors that are considered valueless by the dominant group. The ‘antithesis’ is created and bound (in polar opposition) to the thesis, every thesis automatically creates its own antithesis, minimal effort is required to effect change as the energy resources required are created by an existing dynamic, the forces generated between the mutual opposition of thesis and antithesis.
However, in order to utilise existing power relations for specific purposes, constant accumulation of the ‘valueless’ is imperative. Harnessing this resource is accomplished by effecting a qualitative change either by redefining (and/or redirecting) the accumulated ‘resource’.
Regarding the expansion/formation of milieux, the band (or ring) formation is preferable to dispersed cluster formations or decentralised hubs. Value what others devalue; utilise existing relations by inverting values; a high yield from minimal effort is virtually guaranteed.
Conservative forces (by nature) reject the most talented (in all fields) deferring instead to duller conformist types. The ‘stones’ that are rejected become the foundation upon which new vibrant extensions are built. Genius finds little joy in the oppressive environment of conservatism. Engage the most talented and brightest rejects of society who by nature find it impossible to fit any mould; maintain all efforts in this regard. Idiosyncratic non-conformist behaviour is to be enjoyed not extinguished.
In this way does the ‘band’ widen/increase to eventually severely disrupt, dislocate and (inevitably) displace the dominant group. There is no defence, as the forces that vanquish originally emanated from the forces that attempt to preserve (the dominant group).
The above strategy is not new but it has proven to be dramatically effective.
