[[This article is EPIC STUFF. I'll try and not provide any endnotes [[I FAILED, BUT I KEPT THEM TO A MINIMUM, AT LEAST!]]. Let's keep this one as clean and pure as possible! (There's some repetition because e.g. this article was published in a scholarly journal, which has in recent years also become a webzine (Tumult), whereas other articles were published in newspapers, mostly the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ)).]]
[[A REMINDER: BECAUSE THE ARTICLE (LIKE ALL OTHERS) INCLUDES ALTERNATIVE PHRASING, SINCE THE TRANSLATION IS BASED ON BOTH P.K.'S GERMAN AND GREEK TEXTS - YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR TIME, AND RE-READ SENTENCES TO FOLLOW THE TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

[[European prosperity c. 1950 to c. 1990(continuing to 2000/2010) appears to be a unique historical event contingent significantly on the stand off of two inimical Super Powers, and has absolutely nothing to do with "learning-the-lessons-of-yesterday" morality and other such childish claptrap. Taking a long century-by-century view - and P.K. would never have said this, it seems to me that notwithstanding the mass prosperity in the West for the last 30 to 60 years depending on the country, we have been living in the Age of Satan (i.e. a money-driven hedonistic society of Zio-Lobotomy) and that c. 2050 or at some point this century we shall "officially" enter the Age of the Ape (when planetary order breaks down to such a degree that whole areas of the Globe will be at the Behest of the Rampaging Ape Hordes). Of course, that could very well be a sign of very loony thinking, to which I'm obviously prone... and it - also obviously - has absolutely nothing to do with Science.]]
[[Very insightful discussion of the possible EU strategic blunder pertaining to quantity rather than quality... It seems to me there is a theoretical possibility - not something open in practice - that it would have been ideal for Europe to maximise its relative power independent of the USA with a union limited just to e.g. Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium and perhaps a few more countries, without the involvement of the UK at all. And if such a union (incl. as to governmental and military unification) were sought and accomplished, perhaps by now, 2018, that European Union in co-operation with both the USA-UK and Russia(, India and Japan), and without the Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. interventions led by you know who, would have formed a "nice" counterweight to China, and there would have been a much more smooth balancing, even equilibrium of sorts, going forward into the 21st century, whereas the present-day possibility of China going "aggro" could have been avoided totally. But that's just a scenario on paper - and P.K. does not refer to it (expressly or in detail). I do.]]
[[Brief, but incisive, reference is made, inter alia, to the undermining of national cultures by planetary forces (what the fuck does that mean? A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!), "cosmopolitanism", privately owned television and "mature citizens" (= Boomers? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!), borders, state sovereignty, globalisation and the pressure on Europe.]]
[[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Obviously we can now add the Internet to "Commercial Television"...]] [[And is the not necessarily superior public spirit etc., as it relates to "commercial television" just another way - the scientific way - of saying the admittedly very CRUDE and OVERLY-EXAGGERATED, OVER-THE-TOP "Zio-Lobotomy"? I don't know, YOU figure it out!!! Perhaps "Zio-Protesto-Lobotomy" is closer to the Truth?... HAHA!!!]]
"The
nation-state’s foes share for the most part all of the diagnoses and prognoses
above – only that they welcome the result. In the putting aside of the factor
“nation”, these foes of the nation-state (and therein the cosmopolitan “Left” enters into an only
seemingly paradoxical alliance with multi-national concerns) behold – and they also
regard this putting aside of the factor “nation” as – a pleasing step for the
weakening or abolition of traditional statehood in general, towards the development
of a post-national or trans-national consciousness of autonomous citizens as
the new ideational base or foundation of political activity etc. etc.. Now, the
“mature citizen’s” consciousness draws, as a rule, its intellectual-mental-spiritual
nourishment from commercial television rather than from the refined offering or
sophisticated proposals of political ideologues such as “communitarians” or “liberals”,
so that the dwindling or disappearance of nationalistic fanaticisms does not
necessarily benefit a superior public spirit and sense of citizenship."
[[There's a clear statement from the American point of view that Russia is capable of expansionism and needs balancing - for those of you who might think - absolutely erroneously - that P.K.'s value nihilism is really camouflaging pro-Russian sympathies... when in fact it simply seeks to describe Relations of Power, and some future possibilities (but not as specific events), and nothing else...]]
[[There's a reference to "discreet influence", and, "forces and lobbies inside of the United States who would not be indifferent" to a possible theoretical rapprochement of France, Great Britain and Russia if the USA allowed itself to draw too close to Germany - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]
[[SO REALLY when you think about it seriously, what the ZIO-NUTJOBS (whether Zio-Psycho-Neo-Troskto-WorldRevolution-WorldConquest-Con-Jobs or Zio-HillaroObamo-Dem-Tards (and I know Obama was somewhat sensible over Iran, and Mearsheimer (sort of) praised (?) him for that, but have you heard what Obongo has said recently about abolishing nation-states? Sorry but that is FULL-FRONTAL-LOBE ZIO-LOBOTOMY INSANITY STUFF - and you can call me a Super Ugly Extreme Gorilla Retard - I don't mind and I don't care: "sticks and stones..."...)... Fantasise about i.e. having all of Europe and Turkey and Iran under control, as well as Russia, and also Spinning China into its Satanic Circus Monkey Orbit, is SO FUCKED-IN-THE-HEAD, that they have given themselves A TRIPLE-QUADRUPLE ZIO-LOBOTOMY without even noticing it - if one of them has a BRAIN, and not A MISSING LINK, notwithstanding all the "High Verbal IQ" Mumbo Jumbo, and they read "Utopia and Historical Action" by P.K. very carefully and understand it, then they might "SEE THE LIGHT" - though I doubt it very much.]]
[[Time for laughter...]]
"The
really dogged, determined and obstinate turn
towards the ethical and the
economic is supposed to
make possible breaking away and detachment from the
“special way or path” of “power politics”,
and the
affluence and prosperity of the last forty years seems to
prove, to the
general satisfaction [[of Germans]], that
ethics not only does good to the
soul, but also to the
tummy. The dichotomy of economy and politics is nonetheless mere fiction, since the economy is just as much as politics, the concrete relations of concrete people with one another; ..."
[[The rest of the article basically suggests that a certain Continent is probably f***ed, and the Super Power in Charge (had better cut the fucking bullshit about e.g. "the overthrow of matter" and other such Unbelievable Inanity) and had better make some moves that will ensure it and its Vassal States have some breathing space, without adding any unnecessary fuel to the fire of War(s) nobody wants to take place... incl. by Overstepping the Mark re: Russia. And don't forget, this is 1995! (the article was written in 1995 and published in 1996)]]
[[Due to a significant inaccuracy in China's predicted population, in 1995 it was thought it would reach 1.7 billion by 2030 and not the currently projected 1.45 billion, it remains to be seen whether P.K.'s analysis holds true regarding thirst for Central Asian and Siberian resources, though the fundamental issue of whether the USA and Europe work with Russia, or whether Russia has no choice but to side with China, remains THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE.]]
[[Also, China becoming increasingly more aggressive as the 21st century unfolds is a definite possibility (since we've already seen clear - and perfectly understandable according to "human nature" or relations between Powers - signs of such behaviour) - though nothing beyond possibility is definite. The question is: to what extent? Where will the "red lines" be drawn by both the USA, which will almost certainly concede some extra-USA ground or territory, i.e. control of space far from the USA, and by China? What can and will India and Japan do? Russia? And the answers will unfold in practice, in action, in the real world of doing and praxis... since we can't possibly know the specific events, turns, combinations and "coincidences" etc. which the Future will bring...

[[It's one thing to run a society with a dominant ideology, religion etc., as the case may be, - which all societies must do since that is how all societies grosso modo function, incl. e.g. a particular interpretation of "racism" (for as long as that interpretation is effective; eventually it won't be) - but it's a totally different matter to fuck-up strategically in the Age of Nuclear and other Super-Mass Obliterating/Lethal Weapons.

Dear Reader, once you have carefully studied all of this article from 1995!!! (just have a look and see what complete and utter NONSENSE was being published in 1995/1996!!!!!!!!!!!), and once you have paid particularly close attention to "the three long-term conditions" at the end of the article, along with the article's conclusion, and in the light of other Kondylisian material I have translated for you to study and learn from, I'm quite sure you'll have formed a preliminary view on what a unique phenomenon P.K. was in the History of Thought. I must say, that even though I lost all of my life to the Other and to the Alien and to the Strange and to the Foreign and to the Ugly and to the Foul and to the Disgusting and to Satan and its VILE, REVOLTING, ULTRA-DISGUSTING Satanic Circus Monkey, I was blessed to have as my adult life-long intellectual companion OUR 4,000 year old (now dead) NATION's (or if you prefer, and "more accurately" CIVILISATION's and PEOPLE'S and or (sub-) RACE'S/GENOS's and LANGUAGE's) and the World's social-scientific (History and Philosophy) equivalent to OUR and the World's Greatest Poet, Homer (which I know is a subjective Matter of Taste judgement, but now I'm doing it because it's FUN! SO ΠΑΣ ΜΗ ΕΛΛΗΝ ΒΑΡΒΑΡΟΣ! [[even though I still would rather have lived one of my Great Great Grandfather's Lives solely in the 19th century]] AND, ALL YOU BARBARIANS WHO DON'T AGREE, CAN FUCK OFF!!! AND ALL SATANIC CIRCUS MONKEY PEOPLE - YOU SHOULDN'T BE READING IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND I THINK YOU KNOW BY NOW WHAT'S IN STORE FOR ALL OF YOU!!! YET I WOULD NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH ANY HUMAN BEING, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOUR OR CREED (as "Apollo Creed" says in either Rocky 1 or 2 (I forget which)) BONA FIDE READING, STUDYING AND LEARNING FROM P.K.. THE BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE (except for Satan and its Satanic Circus Monkey, of course)! [[P.K. also makes a reference to "racism" - YES! IN INVERTED COMMAS - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! - DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CONCEPTUAL AND THEORETICAL SUBJECTS...]][[Of course, the Legal Definitions of Terms and Concepts is Another Matter Altogether - and Even if such Legal Definitions Completely Differ from the empirically and logically consistent, verified and explainable Conceptual-Theoretical Definitions, The LAW must be Obeyed and Abided by AT ALL TIMES incl. if and when the LAW changes... upon which Time one's obedience and abiding changes too, unless one seeks to Break the LAW, and or engage in Civil War - which this Site of course CANNOT and DOES NOT RECOMMEND, ENCOURAGE, OR OTHERWISE SUGGESTS OR PROMOTES IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WHATSOEVER AND HOWSOEVER.]]
[[Final Thoughts upon Bidding Farewell to this Article are (and don't forget! - this Satirical Literary Persona is MAD, INSANE, RETARDED): It's OVER. The European Elites will make all sorts of MOVES, incl. continuing to FLOOD the Continent with APE-ANOMIE, and or, ATTEMPTING TO SEAL BORDERS and or attempting to Impose ORDER and COHESION - That'll be the Day! (GO DUKE!), but by the time we get to the second half of this century - European Man is FINISHED. THEN, it's a question of whether RUS MAN can survive along with HAN MAN and Other Men... I personally don't see that American Man has much of a long-term Future either. The Forces of ANOMIE will just keep on building up and relatively high levels of social order, let alone social cohesion, will not be able to be IMPOSED. SO, ZIO-LOBOTOMY, i.e. the IDEOLOGY THAT "EVERYONE IS THE SAME" WHILST ONE TINY FLEA-VULTURE-LIKE PARASITICAL GROUP AT ELITE LEVEL WIELDS GROSSLY DISPROPORTIONATE FORMS OF POWER, IS A FORM OF PSYCHOTIC COLLECTIVE SUICIDE, WHICH WILL ALSO EAT UP ZIO MAN TOO, BECAUSE APE-ANOMIE and or HAN MAN or ??? WILL NOT SPARE ZIO MAN EITHER... SO, THIS FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE FULLY APPLIES: OVER THE VERY LONG RUN, DEMOGRAPHY IS DESTINY, DEMOGRAPHY IS EVERYTHING... EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT APPEAR SO OVER PERIODS OF A FEW, SOME, MANY DECADES OR EVEN LONGER, EVEN OVER A CENTURY OR MORE... BUT EVENTUALLY... JUST THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD WHO PERISHED WHILST THE HELLENES AND THE ROMANS WERE ABLE TO HAVE SOME FORM OF CONTINUITY... OR, THE HAN V. OTHER ANCIENT PEOPLES IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD... OR, BUDDHISM IN INDIA,... ETC., ETC., ETC.,... In other words, if you bring in out-of-control numbers of people, who mostly or simply significantly don't QUALITATIVELY assimilate (we're not talking about superficial "assimilation" or "multi-cultural, peaceful, enriching, diverse co-existence", you lose even an in part ability to Continue Collectively, and if you Hedonistically-Consumeristically-Femino-Faggotistically-UltraDegeneratively DON'T breed enough yourself and even if you CLOSE SHOP, you are more than just Vulnerable to the Rampaging Hordes Awaiting to INVADE, OCCUPY AND CONQUER... even if you have "advanced technology"... eventually the Quantity (which will get its hands on some "advanced technology" too) will OVERCOME the Quality... SO by c. 2100 or c. 2200 Europe - from the point of view of the "Western Eye" - will just be a Geographical Area, and America will probably be just that TOO.]]
And a quote from P.K. to PUT EVERYONE IN THEIR PLACES (because even after reading this quote, you think "your side" is going to win, you have to read the rest of the article - this passage comes from about half-way through...):
"The dichotomy of economy and politics is nonetheless mere fiction, since the economy is just as much as politics, the concrete relations of concrete people with and towards one another; the economised political is no less political than the theologised, moralised or aestheticised political (or: politics which has been converted into economy is no less political than politics which is converted into theology, ethics and aesthetics). If, that is, the German side indeed wants the political unification of Europe, yet it mainly strives after and wants it for reasons of economic effectiveness, then it must know that such a unification understood in this way can even intensify the economic struggles over distribution and re-distribution. The economic element, which today is adored, extolled and idolised as the remedy for, or panacea contra, power politics and nationalism, will then prove to be the tough, slow-moving and dogged vehicle, i.e. conduit, exactly for nationalistic-power-political aspirations and tendencies."
[[Concluding TIP: After many centuries of Obfuscation, the JQ has finally been answered by the Satirical Literary Persona of this Site (which inter alia means you don't have to waste your time reading Sartre's Verbal Diarrhoea and Full-On Mumbo Jumbo "Meditations"): NO CAUSALITY PER SE, BUT GROSSLY DISPROPORTIONATE PARTICIPATION and OVER-REPRESENTATION (i.e. GROSSLY DISPROPORTIONATE crystal(lisation)s, accumulations and concentrations of forms of Power (Big Money Wealth-Purchasing Power, Influence, Hegemony, Dominance, Domination, Authority, etc., and esp. since WW2, Mass Media-Mass Entertainment near Full-Spectrum Brain Washing, etc., etc, etc.,...), "nudging things along" AT ELITE LEVEL via Primitive Secret Society Networking, Divide and Rule/Divide and Conquer tactics (e.g. esp. post WW2 woman ag. man, black ag. white, Musulman ag. formerly Christian, HomoFaggot ag. Normal, The Mentally ILL ag. Health, Invader ag. Resident, etc., etc., etc.), taking place Macro-Historically inter alia via Banking/Finance and Trade/Mercantilism (and later increasingly also via Corporations, the Law and Mass Party Politics/Lobbying and Government/ Foreign Policy, Mass Education-Indoctrination/Lobotimisation, and as stated above re: Mass Media,... etc., etc., etc.,...),... AND OVERALL happening in fits and starts in various and many stages throughout the centuries (tentatively beginning at around the Time of the Decline of the Eastern Roman Empire from the 12th and 13th century), and particularly latching onto (and leeching with) primarily, but not only, Anglo-Franco-American Imperialisms (incl. the two World Wars = utter world-historic catastrophe for Europe) which interrelated from the 18th century onwards with mainly but not exclusively Protestant-led Industrialisation (mechanisation-technicisation-technologisation), Massification (and hightened Mobilisation), Atomisation, Secularisation, Urbanisation, Feminisation, Commodification-Monetarisation, Faggotisation, OtherWorshipisation (Thirdworldification and Junglefication-Otherisation (Africanisation, Musulmanisation, Arabisation, Asianisation,... Deep Incessant Mass-Media/"Education"-Indoctrination Brain-Washing and Lobotomisation), Circusisation-Freakification-Gypsification, Heading Towards States of Increasing Ape-Anomie in the context of formal-legal equality and an ideology of "equality" which has virtually nothing to do with REALITY...), etc., etc., etc.,... - all under near Full-Spectrum Zio-Lobotomisation over the last 50-70 years or so (with the Satanic Circus Monkey Compound having FULLY SEALED BORDERS = The Satanic Circus Monkey Bunker - and Regularly Killing Innocent People (along with its Foes), etc.) = THE END OF THE WEST... and the sooner Han Man puts us out of our misery, the better - is one way of looking at it... though you don't have to look at it that way... OBVIOUSLY... and the Struggles (co-operation and conflict) WILL CONTINUE AND DEFINITELY INTENSIFY HEADING TOWARDS THE SECOND HALF OF THIS CENTURY - that's for sure...]] (If anyone is interested in the scientific way of explaining the above you need to study all of P.K.'s oeuvre, but especially The Political and Man, The Decline..., Conservatism, Planetary..., The Political in the... the two major histories of ideas,... and of course everything else by P.K.
