READ ,CONTEMPLATE & UNDERSTAND.
“Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market. He is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature. His main aim is profitable exchange of his skills, knowledge, and of himself, his “personality package” with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange. Life has no goal except the one to move, no principle except the one of fair exchange, no satisfaction except the one to consume.” [Erich Fromm] … and …”Contemporary man is rather like a child of three, who cries for father when he needs him, and otherwise is quite self-sufficient when he can play. In this respect, in the infantile dependence on an anthropomorphic picture of God without the transformation of life according to the principles of God, we are closer to a primitive idolatric tribe than to the religious culture of the Middle Ages.” [Erich Fromm]
This is Global Monopoly Usurer- Capitalism as practised and articulated in 2016 ;the be-all and end-all . This is from his " 1984 " - Orwell's " imagine the future ,a boot stamping on a human face forever ". Except that it is no longer our " future ",there is no future,THIS is the future.And I count myself amongst those who are at war with it.
There will be no truce ,no cessation of hostilities ,no compromise ,no peace treaty and certainly no prisoners taken.I don't " do " surrender.
