Now former Marxist construct a new society (after the model they have
destroyed it), which, of course, have awarded the position of the old masters
were formed, as said, in a new "nobility" : Aristocratura (nomenclature
which has "privatized" the privileges, that it has constitutional cover so that
they can transmit the new generation, according to the principles of rule of
law, such initiating sudden transformation of the old bureaucratic and
police state directly in a capitalist, democratic and liberal one).

So, result (ideological) nul – a mere tautology.

This entire history accolade of almost a century has meant not only to
substitute a group of individuals at the banquet table with another – one for
the incursion and invasion robbery, as so many others in history – a kind of
social (economical) cannibalism.

What is the "historical necessity" of this social experiment?

Where are the “quantitative accumulation”?

But “qualitative progress”?

Old Marxist, after they loot al long last their own Phalanstery, is now in the
difficult situation to simulate opposing themselves, in front of the
proletariat. However, the new workers should be the happiest workers
possible, because its new employers are now mostly by the left.

Of course, once they have resolved their pragmatic interest, the ideals that
have brought this privileged position became obsolete – à la Carte.
Ideologies, all political and religious doctrines, would not be simpler now
than in the brand marketing strategies, without any connection with real
substance products (programs) that different grades of powers will try to
"sell" civil society. "Century of Malarmé" might be a century of absolute
materialism and pragmatism, of conspiracy, of undeclared wars, of piracy
and terrorism, a century of absolute treachery one in which nobody will
believe in anything, but will cling to any idea and make any compromise as
to "sell" something, to remain into the money flow and pardon power.

By recourse to capitalism (private property) Marxist have done nothing to

recognize, finally, helpless in the face of human nature – which was
modeled after the left their will, but the latter imposed by its own principles
– but the social adventure, far from being completed, left behind some
damage already incalculable social: first, how to say, caused the death of
ideology (a political confrontation of ideas), have thrown the idea of
working under a cloud and approved nine recipe for a successful society,
the professional competence and honesty have been replaced with the
pedigree and the spirit of political tricks, etc..

An ex-communist, became suddenly, after the Romanian Revolution

(December, 1989), a tough attended the church, its warrant this new
ideological insurrection like this: "Rather than not believe and be, better to
believe and not” (as Pascal).

In other words, our constitutive uncertainty regarding the Transcendent is

cut by modern man pragmatic manner: "If belief in God (He is a mere
fiction), I draw some benefits here on Earth, why not believe? However, if I
do not believe, and God still exist, I burned. So better I think."

Modern man (and postmodern, if you like) think so sly, with his intelligence
and tools that can outwit and God.

Modern man sees "the church" as an insurance company, thinking that if

there is still a life and a posthumously alternative Hell-Heaven, then it is
better to provide as of now a better place in Heaven, giving is good on the
altars.

In a society of people who think so, after the privatization of the Moon and
Mars, that is expected to start in the end the privatization of Paradise, where
we will probably be sent in a box of stainless steel, frozen cannon, under the
auspices of a new marketing program, latest trend in terms of tourism:
extreme cosmic tourism.

"In life, no matter what you do, is important to find your fools (customers)”
– said a friend of students, a precocious cynicism frightening. "Stupid is as
given, not the calling" – in an old proverb says, a true monument of
"pragmatic wisdom", emphasizing the speculative aspect of price in trade,
and summarizing, for teachers, the guild, a whole ... economic theory of
bluffing – as they say. "Who would steal, who can escape" – says a former
director of a "business" of wholesale, from the socialist, today somewhere
respectable citizen in the West.

Modern man is convinced that, in life, can do anything, because a short

prayer, at the eleventh hour, told with enough devotion, will provide a place
even in Paradise. But God "sees" this calculation.

People, indeed, have a choice between two existential programs. Everyone

knows that the ethical is the best, but few choose it. Most are under the
illusion that the promise of "only me, but only here and now, after which the
world will recover fine, and I will become the best and most honest man in
the world" – not anticipate that their “small illegalities” will quickly be
interpreted as successful models – a phenomenon that will inexorably push
society into chaos.

Understood (they may not want) as the absolute respect for our selfish
interests, the material and that the resignation of the principles and the
moral, the whole pragmatic thinking has become today a model of success.
Consequently, economic and social chaos could be somewhere close. Only
reconsideration of Metaphysics as Mathesis Universalis, we can help to (re)
find that set the healing principles and values that guide us towards our
future as possible, the pre-seen by God in the context of unlimited Nature.

(To be understood, I did not all these criticisms for political purposes. I'm
not interested in the privileges of power, but only concerned about its
ontological responsibility and worried, like everybody else, the direction of
the evolving human society. I am not the exponent of any interest group. I
would only fight for power in the world, should not be a simple fight
between individuals, for the conquest of material privileges of power, but
again, as formerly, the emergence of democracy, a struggle between
strategies in order a right governance, so that our “social ship" remain
steadfast on the path of her destiny genuine, universal perspective in which
we are not opposed each other and subordinates, but associated in a cosmic
existential program.

Our modern society, especially the globalization of conflict here, looks like
a boat that a revolt broke out to fill the post of command – after the
dethrone God – and, meanwhile, drift floater. Blinded by the struggle for
supremacy, nobody cares more that this boat is ready to crush by the rocks.
The last big winner in this melee, might awaken that won over a wreck.

Just to save the authenticity of our social existence make this final remark:
pragmatic perspective that seeks only our individual survival in the limited
society, we opposed it, while practical perspective, theorize of Kant, the
survival of our common aims in the infinite of Nature.)
