DIGITALIZAREA GLOBALÆ
Iar: plonjare færæ tranziflie direct din comunism øi postcomunism (ca
fals interludiu, ca fals purgatoriu: purgatoriul e paradisul – fiscal) în globalizare.
Doar tranziflia spre democraflie, care este condiflia pentru capitalism,
pe care însæ acesta o violeazæ permanent øi în mod necesar.
Am nimerit nu pe un teren ferm, stabil, clar, aøa cum ni se pretinde,
cum sîntem poftifli sæ gîndim, færæ probleme, ci în plinæ macrotranziflie
a capitalismului însuøi.
Formal-politicul oculteazæ informal-economicul, afectînd grav social-moralul.
S-a insistat numai pe eventuala noastræ nepregætire pentru democraflie,
dar pentru democraflie nimeni, în lume, nu este, niciodatæ, total pregætit.
Nu s-a insistat însæ deloc pe nepregætirea noastræ pentru capitalism.
NOII ØI VECHII SÆRACI AI LUMII
MAI SALVEAZÆ O DATÆ CAPITALISMUL
Misiune istoricæ mai importantæ decît aceea, prezumatæ øi falsæ, a „proletariatului“.
Am fost flatafli, linguøifli, divinizafli istoric ca „proletariat“,
ca producætori de istorie.
Acum nu ne mai flateazæ nimeni, dar abia acum sîntem adeværaflii eroi:
EROII CONSUMULUI, EROI PRIN CONSUM.
Nu ca producætor mîntuieøte omul istoria, ci ca (sic!) consumator
salveazæ – capitalismul.
În Estul Europei øi, în general, în zonele marginale se decide soarta
capitalismului. Am fost integrafli, dar ca marginali, tocmai pentru a salva
capitalismul.
Nu pentru a produce, ci pentru a consuma. Pentru cæ nu am træit øi
nu am fæcut „capitalismul istoric“, sîntem nepregætifli la consum, de fapt
refacem definiflia nudæ a capitalismului ca producflie de (nu doar pentru)
consum. Consumæm aruncînd, dezvæluind „esenfla“ producfliei ca
primordial consum, ca producflie de dejecflii. SÎNTEM SALVATORII
CAPITALISMULUI.
SÆRÆCIA SALVEAZÆ ROMÂNIA!
SUBDEZVOLTAREA INTEGREAZÆ ROMÂNIA!
În Est, ca esenflialæ zonæ integrat-marginalæ, raport invers proporflional
între vizibilitatea, perceptibilitatea fenomenului øi a procesului de salvare
a capitalismului prin consum (dupæ iluzia conform cæreia Istoria ar putea
fi mîntuitæ prin producflie, prin acfliune) øi acuitatea lor. Cu cît mai
acute, cu atît mai invizibile. În Occident, datoritæ continuitæflii, se vede.
În Ræsærit, din pricina discontinuitæflii, nu se vede: capitalismul apare mesianic
pe locul gol, cultivat – ca schemæ istoricæ de gîndire teleologicæ secularizatæ
– de comunism. Salvarea promisæ de comunism apare abia dupæ
comunism, dupæ „apocalipsa“ acestuia. Mesia salveazæ lumea dupæ ce
aceasta ia sfîrøit singuræ, autojudecîndu-se „imanent“, „obiectiv“.
„Optimismul oprimaflilor“ nu a fost în zadar, dar se realizeazæ abia azi,
dupæ moartea promisiunii, într-o postlume, în „lumea de apoi“ a capitalismului
purificat de comunism, împreunæ cu dispariflia acestuia. Abia
comunismul a pregætit perfect umanitatea pentru capitalism (nu invers),

THE OLD AND THE NEW POOR OF THE WORLD
SAVE CAPITALISM ONCE MORE
A more important historical mission than the presumed and false mission of the “proletariat”.
We have been flattered, buttered, historically divinized as the “proletariat”,
the producers of history.
Now, no one flatters us anymore, but it is only now that we are the true heroes:
THE CONSUMPTION HEROES, HEROES THROUGH CONSUMPTION.
It is not man-the producer who saves history; it is man-the consumer who saves capitalism.
The fate of capitalism is decided in Eastern Europe and, in general, in the marginal
regions. We have been integrated, but as marginals, precisely so as to save capitalism.
Not in order to produce, but in order to consume. Since we have not lived or made
the “historic capitalism”, we are unready for consumption, we re-establish in fact the
nude definition of capitalism as production of (not only for) consumption. We consume
by expelling, by unveiling the “essence” of production as primordial consumption,
as production of dejections. WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF CAPITALISM!
POVERTY SAVES ROMANIA!
UNDERDEVELOPMENT INTEGRATES ROMANIA!
In the East, the essential integrated-marginal region, the visibility, the perceptibility
of the phenomenon and of the process which save capitalism through consumption
(according to the illusion that History could be saved through production, through
action) is indirectly proportional to their acuity. The more acute, the more invisible
they are. In the West, due to continuity, this is visible. In the East, due to discontinuity,
this is not visible: cultivated by communism as historical scheme of secularized
teleological thinking, capitalism Messianically appears in an empty space. The salvation
promised by communism appears only after communism, after its “apocalypse”.
Messiah saves the world after it ends all by itself with an “immanent”, “objective”
self-judgement.
The “optimism of the oppressed” was not in vain, but it is only today that it is realized,
after the death of promise, in a post-world, in the “after-world” of communismfree
capitalism, along with its disappearance. It is only communism that perfectly
prepared humanity for capitalism (not vice versa). Weakened by its own “structural”
contradictions which are about to consume their asymptote (after being for so many
centuries its “engine”), this capitalism looks upon its action becoming now a lot simplified,
a lot relieved: it does not any longer have to re-educate us, to “civilize” us,
we are already exhausted by so much misplaced optimism, it can just simply land us
a gaunt hand. It does not have to do anything; it can dispense itself of all the modernizing
pan-liberal effort: capitalism without modernization: historical epochal
uncoupling. “It’s all right as it is!” It’s even better!
By why should we torment ourselves with troubles, why should we madly look for
troubles, shouldn’t History have finally make us wiser? Why should we fight instead
of just living, letting ourselves be beatifically lived (it is simpler!), instead of living
naturally the artificiality of the system?
After all this pain and stress, after all this historical torsion, we finally enter THE AGE
OF SIMPLIFICATION.
Aren’t we witnessing the supreme triumph of the wiseness of life? And that despite
the fact that simplification is based on artificialization, on simulacra – as inevitable
condition? If we are better off with simulacra, why shouldn’t we prefer them?
The East and, in general, the marginal-integrated regions “phenomenologically” evidence
altogether the existential macro-condition of the consumer, of the man
