The
biggest political contradiction is that being dialectical it can be solved, not
even in that fantasy of synthesis; since that would be the end of history, and
history is the experience of life measured with time and space. So what happens
with the political contradiction, is that it continues through the functional two
parts it reduces society to; the one with power and the other without power,
being power the object for which they both collide in their confrontation.
This
is not the natural progression of history, but it’s what has become with the
transformation of capital; which at the beginning was just force, and thus
becomes the military, but then becomes ideological. This is happened with the ascendance
of Christianity, as a way to secure the power in an understanding of reality;
but as a contraction to its idealistic nature —as ideology— that thus lost its
consistency as reality behind. This is why at the same time of that transformation
of Capital to ideology, it organized its residuals in its potential; convening the
money as a way to that same power, in direct contradiction of the ideology as
nature of Capital.
This
is why Christianity was reduced to Manichean puritanism, opposed to any and all
form of materialism; which then get represented in money, as the way to gain
power besides the conventional structure of ideology. So this is how the actual
political contradictions are the same born with Christianity, in the peak of
Medieval times; organized as the same confrontation between functional substructures
of power, like that of aristocracy and monarchy.
This
is what came to Modernity, and transforms then as a class confrontation, but
fake in that contradiction; because the proletariat is never the subject but
the object of power, always solved in the upper class of society. What happened
was the transformation of monarchy and aristocracy, through that other
transformation of economy; which as industrialization, ending the technological
revolution of medieval times, continues through the new classes. This was the
State as the main claim of sovereignty, and the financial elites as the new
aristocracy; both of them fighting for the effectiveness of political power over
the society, in its middle and lower classes.
This
is the actual contradiction, with none of them actually interested on the real
people but in their own interests; for which they manipulate those of the
excludes by theses interests of them, as their supposed representation. Although
the whole system is dialectically organized in that political perversion of political
duopoly, it has no solution; except that other —and diachronic— process of entropy,
for which the whole system would crumble in its own excesses.
Let’s
be clear about this, because any attempt to interfere with the process becomes
a part of the same; as this is proper of the same structurality of the system,
and so it’s ineludible in its own structural nature. This doesn’t mean that
society is condemned to its doom though, but that this model of society surely
is; and at some point, of its progressive weakness, a group with political
ingenuity and recursive will lead a new development; resulting in the
stabilization of the whole structure, but as an adequation of those same excesses.
That
was what happened to Roman culture —not the empire— with its demise in the
western side of the empire; when it was reduced to crumbs with the Germans,
which then reestablished the whole structure as political. In this case here,
that would be the function of black people, in the United States as the
crumbling new Rome; not because an ability to organize in an alternative
development, always sabotaged with its political perversion; but because in
their precariousness and marginality, they would be the remnant on those
crumbles, and so would find the ingenuity for the reconstruction.
