Free On Bleeding Cool – Alice Cooper #1 By Joe Harris And Eman Casallos

The virtual (or the new, the next) is no longer the site of emancipation. Rather, it is the primary mechanism of oppression . And so , even in the face of those who seek alternatives to this world of debasement and exploitation , we must stress that it is not the job of politics to invent a new world . On the contrary it is the job of politics to make all these new worlds irrelevant. No politics can be derived today from a theory of the new. The reason is simple: we have never known any form of modernity except that form of modernity subservient to the new. We have never known any form of modernity except that of market accumulation , increased profit margins, development of the productive forces, rises in productivity, new jingles, the latest fads, and on and on . These are the currency of the realm . It is time now to subtract from this world, not add to it. The challenge today is not one of political or moral imagination , for this problem was solved ages ago - kill the despots, surpass capitalism, inclusion of the excluded, equality for all of humanity, end exploitation. The world does not need new ideas. The challenge is simply to realize what we already know to be true .
