oavsett hur mycket systemkritik vi alla presterar, så skyddar sig systemet bara genom att på olika sätt "täppa till luckorna" så kritiken inte ska riskera att ändra något.

The lock-step of the global corporate group-mind is not easily opposed.  Its fixed value-set knows its fundamentals as final and good, and prescribes how peoples everywhere must live; it is a totalitarian morality that is ecogenocidal in its systemic effects.  Nevertheless, its total occupation of public consciousness can only succeed if its structure of meaning is presupposed by its hosts.  In the battles we now enter, the instituted violence and aggression of the global corporate system depends for every step on public acceptance of its contradictions of value-set, which in turn requires that they are kept hidden and repressed from the view of even the global marketeers.  Humans are value-bearing beings, and their ultimate ground of value is life itself; but, because the ruling economic order has no life co-ordinates in its regulating paradigm, it is structured always to misrepresent its life-blind imperatives as life-serving.  This is the organising principle of its acceptance.  Thus, the freedom of unfreedom, the terror of anti-terrorism, the peace-seeking of war are, like the life-endowing properties of dead commodities, contradictions which are generated by the global market system's syntax of meaning itself.

This is why in the face of the mass public opposition to its coercive prescriptions rising up in the streets, the system's advocates are driven to ever more absurd distortions of meaning and fact.  In the first instance, they proclaim that the opposition does not, in fact, exist, but is a passing apparition to be closed out of the rational mind.  In the second instance, when the opposition keeps growing, they pretend that there is nothing in fact to oppose, since all that the opposition demands -- for example, 'poverty reduction' -- is what the global market already brings.  When the evidence is clear that these assertion are false and the numbers of the international opposition increase, the perimeters of armed force to close out reality and its voices grow wider and wider -- until, in desperation at the still imploding condition, a global crisis is declared in which opposition itself is made to withdraw lest it be read as 'supporting terrorism'.
