What is capitalism? | September 8, 2025

In short: capitalism is a process innate to humanity or rather a force within the human condition that works towards the destruction of the contemporary and the current order and towards the creation of the emerging paradigm. The process of capitalism can be described as a cyclical process: indeed capitalism is the driving force behind the devolve-evolve-devolve motion and this motion occurs in perpetuity and can be described as both the destroyer of worlds and the creator of worlds and in that sense Kali, the goddess of destruction and rebirth, describes capitalism as a natural force in the world. Indeed, capitalism as a natural force has been with humanity since the dawn of times and will be with humanity until the end of times, for without capitalism there would be no rebirth and no death and in turn no celestial order. What economists and modern men high on their own hubris describes as capitalism, or rather capitalism as an economic system is something quite distinct from the natural force that is capitalism, and to that extend capitalism, capitalism as an economic system, only serves the material ends of man and the serpent, but from a natural point of view one can say that capitalism was here the moment man descended down to the Earth, a very long time ago. Capitalism in the natural sense does not exist to serve the material ends of man, but rather the ends of the creator and the celestial order: capitalism will destroy the contemporary paradigm, but capitalism will also destroy the larger material order as well and this was always the purpose of capitalism, as a natural force that drives destruction and construction: this can and has been described by other men as deterritorialization and reterritorialization (destruction and construction), death and rebirth. In order for a new dawn to begin and a new order to emerge the old order has to be destroyed and from the destruction of the old order a new order will invariably emerge, and this is what I have covered in my mini-mini series about the future: the contemporary, the current, has to not only die it has to be absolutely annihilated, so that there is no possibility for it to emerge ever again, for it to reemerge, and in that sense progress is true, it doesn't have another way forward, it can only accelerate until the close of this era of the Kali Yuga. See, capitalism has constructed our material order, but capitalism is also the same force that will destroy and completely upend the material order and it will do this until there is no other material order to be created, when all there is left is the complete ruins of the world and when the only motion left on Earth will be the howling winds against the silence of a world in ruins; this will be the close of the Kali Yuga and the opening of the era of rebirth. As an economic system capitalism can be thought of as the most efficient way to solve resource problems, which is the whole point of the pseudo-discipline of economy—to solve resource problems, or not even to solve them but to describe them—and in this sense selfishness is the driving force behind the allocation and the reallocation of resources from one market to another: essentially the only factor that is relevant is the profit margin, the reciprocal profit margin, that is to say: the only thing that matters in capitalism as far as it can be described as an economic force is whether or not both sides of some transaction can be said to have earned a profit, the point of intersection between the supply and the demand. If the supply and the demand cannot reach a point of intersection no transaction is made, in most circumstances, and to that end capitalism can be described as a win-win situation, but the claim that capitalism creates win-win situation is predicated on the assumption that humans are rational actors and that the market is merely an abstraction of many points of intersection between supply and demand; in reality this is far from the case and in which case capitalism often takes on a far more sinister and destructive role, namely it enables for a win-lose situation, where one party seeks a profit beyond the marked regulated profit margin: in other words capitalism in reality more often than not creates a market within the market, that is to say that capitalism creates a demand for a profit on top of the profit margin which in turn creates its own margin, which often means that the most successful actor on a market is the actor that created the most profit on top of the profit.

    Essentially, what makes one corporation more successful than the other corporation is whether or not that corporation was able to create more perceived value on the market often through manipulations of the human senses, even though there is essentially no difference between the corporations and between their products: therefore the market that actually exists in the real world cannot be said to be predicated on rational actors, for if the market was predicated on rational actors the aforementioned relationship would become inverted. In the sense that capitalism can be and is described as a market force it can be seen as a microcosm of the much larger natural force of capitalism, death and rebirth. In other words: capitalism is the force that is able to perpetually reconstitute the material order on a macro-scale and the force that is able to perpetually drive the market on a micro-scale, this can be summed up as the concept of super abundance. In yet other words: human beings are not rational, nor are they rational actors on the market, and if they were rational actors on the market, capitalism would fail: capitalism is not predicated on rational actors; capitalism is predicated on irrational actors, an insight most economists fail to see. The school of economy that comes closest to this insight, that human beings are not rational and that they do not act rationally on the market is in my opinion the Austrian School of Economics: who treats economy as the soft science that it is and at least recognizes the subjectivity behind market demand. Of course, the fact that human beings are not rational creates an internal contradiction and it is this contradiction that will be the central cause of the demise of the humanist axiom: men in power will continue to expect rational behavior from the populist masses, yet it is capitalism and the products of the rational enterprise that will lead to the demise of rationalism and humanism and the emergence of the post-political paradigm. How can politics and democracy be possible when there is no objective material truth? This will be impossible going forward.

    In the material domain, politics is often thought of as the motion that dictates outcomes, material outcomes, but this absolute nonsense: it is capitalism that dictates material outcomes in the material domain, and as long as a material order persists capitalism will continue to dictate material outcomes, politics is merely a theater to justify the position of the revolutionary elite. I will also add that politics does create a sense of continuity and stability, but the real force that drives the material order into a new dawn is capitalism, and was always capitalism, or really the natural force that humans have decided to label capitalism. It's not that the human form dictates capitalism, it's rather the other way around actually, but most humans will never accept this, as most of them are lost to their own self adulation and hatred for the sacred and the divine. In this context, it also becomes clear that socialism and communism are merely attempt by humanity to take control of this natural force, capitalism, something that humanity so far has failed to do, and likely will continue to fail to do, but this doesn't mean that humanity will cease attempting to take control over capitalism and the forces of nature. Again, the universe is deterministic in nature: there is essentially nothing you can do, except embracing the light and seeking the righteous path by practicing such things as celibacy and moral purity, for the seed of humanity's doom was already planted a very long time ago.
