Another step:
At some point, the nightmarish history of capitalist accumulation,
driven by a frenzied terror of scarcity and alienation, will dream
itself out of anxiety and sober up. But when? When? ALREADY.
The rapidly-evolving deflationary crisis, which has only begun to
terrorize the Bastards in High Places, may be evidence that a
revolution of sorts has already occurred. This goes against one of
the more obviously false pre-suppositions of political economy: that
revolutions (whatever they are) are the generally well-understood,
well-planned, products of enterprising (if often sociopathic) minds.
The truth of course is that revolutions are never understood in
advance, or even as they are occurring (highly planned and post-
modernized ones like the Romanian Revolution not excepted) They only
ever really live in the creative histories they set in motion. Given.
Could it be that with the expansion of renewable energy sources, the
collapse in real-estate property "value", the decriminalization of
mind-altering substances, the ungovernability of the global
metropolises, the collapse of the credit system, and the emerging
insolvency of the culture industry, we may see a trace of living
concepts already born beyond the proper terrain of the commodity-form?
