No. 1 & 3 were the first books I read that place Africans centre stage as agents in their own history rather than resistance fighters or victims of capitalism & colonialism. The racial conceptions were different from the colonial period and the horrible violence and death across the African continent of the colonial era wasn't there either.
There's a constellation of power relations not reduced to white-black // colonizer-colonized where Europeans dominate but where they're much more actors in regions where African players held the upper hand.

Since then I've read research on the colonial era that also complicates and deconstructs the binaries that defined my understanding of African history, but reading Thornton made me realize (the restrictions of) my own contemporary racial thought

So what was the conclusion? Does it display Africans as being a bunch of know nothings who contributed to their own demise and didn't know how to do any better.

The only hope for a future is either total anarcho primitivism, fully automated/digitized transhumanist anarchism or national bolshevism with Eurasian characteristics. Everything else is a dead end and only the first and third are plausible within our lifetime.

the poetry of that book is amazing too and doesnt get enough credit. it makes me sad knowing that most ppl can't read it in german.

idk about the actual content of his ideas though, its interesting for sure but you can interpret is a thousand ways. stuff gets very obtuse and ppl take weird things from it sometimes.

I will elaborate more on all of this in following posts if you don't follow (which if you haven't read the works cited or even read secondary texts on them you probably won't) but a general overview goes like this:

It is an indisputable fact that the development of modernity in all of its forms has been a double edged sword, that for every "positive development" (if we accept notions of progress in the abstract as being real and not total fabrications) there is a coinciding negative development. Politicians use the ecological crisis for various agendas but the basic principle which underlies all narratives surrounding it is solid: IE you can not pursue infinite expansion within a finite space without destroying yourself.

Capitalism was a necessary economic development because it allowed the space to open for a world in which freedom of the human spirit could be attained. However, those who cling to it In the modern day, even if they call themselves right wingers or conservatives, are reinforcing the hegemony of liberalism (in both an economic and cultural sense because one leads to the other even if regulations are introduced).

Liberal ideology led to hood in the world but, as with all socio-economic systems, is now a destructive rather than a constructive force because it has been institutionalized globally and no longer seeks to reach it's rational conclusion (and therefore self negation) but only to entrench it's entropy and perpetuate it as the end of history (in the fukuyamian sense). This has obviously led to a grand self denial, A sensibility which can be seen in the moments before every socioeconomic dynasty is snuffed out. The difference is that the death of liberal democracy and it's capitalist superstructure will lead to the decimation of the entire human species if there is no alternative.

As far as I can tell the only alternatives which make sense are

1) anarcho primitivism. Despite being the purest form of reactionary ideology and thus a full step backwards it guarantees absolute freedom in its most frightening sense while promising a natural harmony that won't obliterate the planet.

2) transhumanist anarchism within digital space. Here the idea is that there will be no limits to anyone or anything. All realities will exist in a way which do not destroy the realities of any other being.

3) National Bolshevism with Eurasian characteristics. The grand synthesis between communism and fascism, constructs socialism and preserves the infrastructure of modernity while allowing for a biodiversity which liberal hegemony seeks to destroy. Socialism without liberal virtue signalling, nationalism without the opportunism and general sloppiness of fascists

I also forgot to mention that what the Left proposes as alternatives to capitalism suffer from the fact that they fall into moral relativism and do not build upon the objective cultural progression of both the West and certain Eurasian countries, including some Arabian nations and Islamic movements but not the East as a whole. The leftist reaction to capitalism is to realize the unrealizable and undesirable logical conclusion if liberal hegemony: A global monoculture which reaches a historical endpoint that can never be transcended

GF said that reasing Stephen King's "Pet Sematary" helped her come to terms with death as an eventuality. She saw it as a cautionary tale about refusing to move on from a loved one's death, and the damage that does to your heart, mind, and soul. And she also constantly says in a new england accent " Sometimes dead is bettah"

Harrison Bergeron put into perspective,for me, the banality of evil, and the evil of forcing our culture and individuals to be banal. Especially when related to the politically correct.
