Work once civilized the ape, but capitalism has long since overtightened the screw - the wheel of history is now inevitably turning back, turning people into beasts walking in fenced enclosures and barking their inhuman screams, where the last remnants of articulated speech of a civilization extinct at the peak of its movement hang written on walls and fences and barriers like a memento mori, directing signals to human cattle. A new race is coming up: back towards "down." Whoever first discards the "human" shell of modernity, still thriving without realizing it is already dead, will achieve the first freedom of the new savage. Will it be a return to a primitive communal society or the beginning of a new dialectical epoch at a higher level? Such a question is not worth asking because it falls precisely into the coordinates of the narrative of the civilization that needs to be devoured - devoured without bitterness, without a plan, without a Declaration or a Manifesto, without fear. With the sincere joy of children of a new era, but children who reproduce themselves and devour themselves, and precisely in that gaining indestructibility, immortality: the thing of every order.
