The fundamental goal of all authentic strands of socialism is to attain shaÂrÂed (and fairly distributed) ownership of âthe means of productionâ. This can and should lead to democratic control over said means of proÂduction. But this state of affairs is not quite the goal-in-and-of-itself; it is merely a means to achieving a higher socialist goal: a classless society that is fair, equitable, and in which everybody has what they need for a secure and dignified existence. The goal is to enact politics with soliÂdarity in order to bring forth a society that is equitable, the structures of which make …

Okay, so now weâre really closing in on the point: You have six new forms of politics (Democratization, Gemeinschaft, Existential, Emancipation, Empirical and Theory), and these function, over the long-term, together or not at all, and they reinforce each other and they are already emerging in society. But who then makes it happen, and how? If youâve been a good reader, you already know the answer to this question. Then again, everyone might need a reminder from time to time, and there are still a few blanks to fill in. The following is a slightly edited extract from Hanzi Freinachtâs …

The “wood bud moment” of organizing The “wood bud moment” of human organizing is when the meme of a generative & transformative initiative jumps from one mind to another, where it is absorbed by a fertile terrain.I think of an initiative as generative when it generates more collective energy than it consumes.The initiative is transformative when the information in its DNA instructs all of its off-springs, over the subsequent generations, to guide the evolution of their consciousness to the next plateau.In biomimicry-inspired organizing, the “wood bud moment” starts with a hardly perceptible, tiny extrusion on a branch of activity or …

Of the six new forms of politics (the former being Democratization, Gemeinschaft, Existential, Emancipation and Empirical politics) the Politics of Theory is the strangest, the most radical and the most complex. It, more than any of the previously discussed ones, builds upon the successful implementÂaÂtion of the other five. If you donât have all the other ones in place, this one can and will flip out in every conceivable manner. And yet, in a way, it constitutes the very essenÂce of metaÂmodern politics. It is the most dangerous of all of my ideas. Time for dangerous dreams, on the edge …

We are imagining a future in which we as a society find ways of monÂiÂtoring the development of a number of key issues that pertain to the inner growth and existential wellbeing of all members of societyâthen offerÂing support to all citizens during key transitional periods of their lives in accÂordance with their needs and longings. This will lead to significantly less social and economic fallout of peoÂpleâs periods of crisis, and it will seriously boost the number of highly funcÂtional and menÂtally healthy people. In a similar vein Existential Politics should work to develop the mediÂtation skills and the …

Our work, as metamodern philosophers and scientists, is to rewrite the very fabric of what is real, as our participatory perspectives exÂpress higher truths, as they mirror more profound insightsâand land us in a vast landscape of reflections, gazing deeper into the abyss. Science is the process of building upon what we know, which ultimatÂely always tears down the previously known. It is a dance of consciousÂness, always delving into a deeper mystery. We donât live in a universe where âscienceâ tells us âthe truthâ. We live in a universe where the truth always lies beyond us as we plunge …

The first three forms of politicsâDemocratization, Gemeinschaft and ExistÂenÂtialâserve to spur subtle but pervasive transformations of society and everyÂday life, until we reach a higher equilibrium of human wellÂbeing, as we achieve a listening society. As I argued in the first part of this book, this follows a long-term historical trend of increaÂsing intiÂmacy of conÂtrol: larger and larger parts of our minds, behaviors and bodies are coÂordinated in more complex and deliberate ways. The following is a slightly edited extract from Hanzi Freinachtâs book âNordic Ideology: A Metamodern Guide to Politics, Book Twoâ. This is the second book in a …
