Nonhuman Marxisms



If Posadists had their way, it would be an interplanetary revolution. They were the followers of Posadas, an Argentinian Trotskyite who happened to believe that dolphins should be a part of the revolution, too, and that a nuclear war could bring a lasting, worldwide, peace. 


The Posadists began quarrelling with the majority of the Fourth International in 1959 over the question of nuclear war with Posadas being a proponent as, he claimed, it would destroy capitalism and clear the way for socialism. The Posadists finally split with the Fourth Internstional in 1962 to form Posadism. The group initially had a following in several countries, particularly among railway workers in Cuba, tin workers in Bolivia and farm workers in Brazil.


In the late 1960s the Posadists became increasingly interested in UFOs, claiming they were evidence of socialism on other planets. Posadists believe that any civilization intelligent enough to invent space travel would naturally be a socialist society, so when extraterrestrials arrive to our planet they'll be interested in overthrowing our capitalist system.


Posadas postulated that a communist movement established under the guidance of alien comrades was the prerequisite for revolution on Earth. He might be one of the most particular political theorists that ever lived, but in Argentina his theory was, at least once upon a time, relatively widespread.


Posada had a more-than-keen interest in extraterrestrial life. That belief could manifest realistically, with Posada advocating for METI — Messages to Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or "active SETI" in which a SETI group doesn't just listen for messages, but actively sends out beacons of our presence.


Another Trotskyite from Brazil named Guilherme Monteiro Jr, also known as William Ariel Mounter, is characterized for defending a socialist model for nonhumans, also known as mythicals, and for gods, based on the full socialization of the economy and the state. As well as the full socialization of the world economy and world politics. Together with the spiritualization of the masses, re-education of the masses, rapid transition to extraphysicism and the creation of nonhuman countries. Thus Posadas does not stand alone in advancing Marxist theory to incapsulate nonhuman beings.

Energy Democracy

How can we envision the merger of energy democracy, direct technocracy, cybernetics, and crypto?   We start with an analysis of Allende’s Chile and Stafford Beer’s Project Cybersyn. Stafford Beer’s perspective of cybernetics was instead of the abstract dichotomy of centralization versus decentralization, he asked: What is the maximum degree of decentralization that still permits the system to flourish?  Paul Cockshott who has written extensively on the possibility of post-capitalist planning aided by contemporary processing power, is a big admirer of Cybersyn: “The big advance with Stafford Beer’s experiments with Cybersyn was that it was designed to be a real-time system.” Allende pushed Beer further to expand Cybersyn’s “decentralizing, worker-participative, and anti-bureaucratic” possibilities.  Public sector operations that were near to each other work together are “cordónes industriales” - literally “industrial belts” - in order to coordinate the flow of raw materials and manufact

New Age Prognostication

What symbols do we receive from the upcoming Pluto transit in Aquarius? Last this astrological arrangement occurred during the American Revolution, the ratification of the Bill of Rights, and the French Revolution. Ultimately we launch the New Age with a fundamental rebuke of the old obsolete machine age, while instead encouraging real and alive organic democracy.   Technological Revolution  Aquarius is electricity, light, inventions, electronics, telephones, televisions, etc. While pluto can be change as response to deep search! Perhaps we will see a major shift in energy sourcing boosted by technological findings of AI.  Last time pluto was in aquarius the cotton gin was invented; which aided in quicker production of goods and higher demand for American cotton. This is a general indicator that AI is going to become an even bigger part of day to day life. So it could be AI or it could be some technological advance that is only just a dream in the back of someone's mind or awaiting

Strength and the Star

Images that may be associated with Leo-Aquarius include a bright Sun shining in a clear Arctic sky, a king facing his restive subjects, a dancer encircled by a ring of people, and a group of people banding together to save a child. There are some references to elements associated with the Age of Aquarius in Ayn Rand’s life and works.  Perhaps it is all just a coincidence - a very uncanny one though. Perhaps she unconsciously picked up something of the spirit of the coming new age. Perhaps she was an unwitting avatar for some of the subtle forces and unseen influences that affect humankind. But there is also the influence of Aquarian opposite sign Leo at play.  Ayn Rand was born under the sign of Aquarius; she was very logical and rational, which is a major feature of the sign. Her ideology was like a religion for her; we would expect a new religion for the new age to be idea-based rather than feeling-based as in the Age of Pisces. In Ayn’s 1937 novella  Anthem , two of
