This one turned out a little obscure and rant-ey, but I'm tired and it is what I got at the moment.
In this late and socially/technologically advanced stage of civilization, it is crucial to not only maintain countless tiers of complex technical and intellectual economic activity in perpetuity, but to also reinforce the body politic against the effects of its own intensifying exploitation and domination.
So it becomes necessary to instill authoritarian thought at a very young age, both through educational and political/social institutions and through instinctual relations in the home. There are only a few right answers, dependent on a centralized authority, and many many wrong answers, which must be programmed and disciplined out.
The powers of surveillance have increased alongside collective desires for control and anticipation, and domestic security has increasingly militarized in response to an increased perception of universal hostility, a hostility directed both inwards and outwards. As the bond between the organization of collective social ends and social labor is broken, it becomes ever more necessary to direct and force that social labor, force which is organized by a distant power that retains a monopoly on the imagination and realization of ends. And of course this process further severs the collective bond between ends and labor.
Now that we've brought everyone up to be sympathetic to authoritarian thought, we've provided ourselves with an interlocking and self-reinforcing lattice that amplifies and advances the ongoing waves of dysfunction. This lattice that we compose is necessary for holding in place the vast and tottering infrastructure of the world economy, but through this rigidity it loses its social dynamism and spontaneity; it must by necessity become increasingly brittle.
It must move as one great and rigid mass, or it mustn't move it all. Of course at the micro level the whole of it is always in motion, but much of the dynamic energy which threatens to disorder the market apparatus is either atomized and individualized, or crushed and dispersed through state violence and through starvation and the holding back of resources, which tends to be spontaneously arranged through private activity.
For some time - we should say it is a staple of the "modern era" - it has been the case that the body politic is viewed with great suspicion, as some dangerous, unstable, and explosive force which must be carefully contained and worked around for its own good. And through this belief it has become so. All of the violent transformational energy that the system itself produces through its operation, is stored throughout the body politic in various forms such as resent, latent violence, and all the like.
Universally, that transformative energy is repressed, and universally the destruction wrought from this fans out, spreading exponentially and reinforcing itself as the lattice seeks to reconstitute itself, producing fires that burn everywhere at once, and so on.
