A Brief on Bourgeoisie power

Let us imagine the bourgeoise as a familiar form - the party. We have been led to believe this party has been reduced in power over the years, we have been led to believe that the opposition (the proletariat) has gained a foothold within society. But this is far from the truth - this party has not been overthrown, not even slightly. The party has merely changed form for it has found more subtle ways of maintaining total control, ways other than direct rule - what we today would call “authoritarianism”. The party has molded itself into new institutions: the “free” market, or the “worker” unions (this mold is comparable to a virus, as it has co-opted a formerly proletarian institution). The party did not die, the party evolved. Now let us talk about authoritarianism. When you think of authoritarianism, you likely think of a 1984-esque setting - dark and gloomy, secret police and military all around, free speech dead. Very different to our western democracies, keeping this difference is a necessity to hold together a façade. Imagine authoritarianism as something different - cultural hegemony, silent destruction of opposing views through commodification and co-optation - all that is opposed doomed to become an ally. This is the reality we find ourselves in, under neoliberal capitalism. Whether it be the police state propelled by bayonets or the façade democracy, authoritarianism is central to all bourgeoise systems, for they are unnatural (despite how they love to pretend they aren’t).

How Modern Capitalism killed the party-form

WIP: Explanation of neoliberalism's discrete authoritarianism, the transformation of bourgeoise control being a main difference between modern and past capitalism, and what effect this had on the party-form

Further Adventures into Discrete Authoritarianism

WIP: Possibly explain the motives behind the bourgeoise to change their form, definitely explain how the market fits into authoritarianism, ideological structural apparatuses of the bourgeoise state, religions upholding of private property, etc. etc.

Why the Mainstream LGBT Rights movement is not far enough

WIP: How I despise the mainstream LGBT right's movement idea of assimilation, the difference between liberation and assimilation, why queer liberation is proletarian

Ideological State Apparatuses

WIP: The apparatuses of the state used to influence the ideology of people the second they enter society
