The Times We Live In

 It seems to me that the essence of the increasingly open, ever more uninhibited and tightly organized global Nazi position is that the idea of an alleged **human inferiority** is mapped on undeniably existing phenomena of social, economic, and political disadvantages created by global "race" capitalism. In other words, a series of wildly complex and dynamic social processes and their consequences are represented as static, eternal, genetically overdetermined "givens".

From this it follows -- for the nazis -- that

1 impenetrable physical barriers, doors, gates, fences, "security" locks, bars, walls, state, city, and formal/informal network boundaries are drawn . . . at first around people who enjoy un-earned advantages, later more and more clearly around the disadvantaged--physically and morally compressing the existence of the subjugated, humiliated, despised human beings into ever smaller, ever less habitable spaces;

2 they raise ever more impenetrable legal barriers, citizenship, visa, "alien police", "asylum", "immigration" and deportation "procedures" among humans. They themselves have practically unlimited access to all desirable parts of the world while others have almost none;

. . . and finally (here we are today):

3 they are urging, forcing, with a series of increasingly unambiguous, increasingly immoral, increasingly inhumane actions, that very large groups of people who are now declared ontologically undesirable, with lives not worth living, cease to exist even in their physical reality, whether through "simple" starvation, suffering and destruction caused by curable diseases, leading to shorter lifespans, premature death by "natural means", or through manifest physical genocide carried out under the pretext of concrete, unspeakably primitive, deceitful and evil "principles" and "arguments".

This has always been the dream of oligarchic minorities. Now they are acting on it.

We do not see the full acting-out of this nazi dream on a planetary scale yet--only because humanity does not yet have the technology with which either our fellows labeled as **inferior** or the groups that label themselves **superior** could be removed from planet Earth. The former to a less "habitable" celestial body that is bound to destroy their lives, the latter to a more paradisiacal environment. But experiments to this aim are already in full swing.

We could even call this form of multidimensional human extermination BARE DEATH? (Agamben squared?).

These are extremely popular ideas among members of groups who are convinced that they are only indirectly affected by them at the moment -- and it is not trivial whether it would be possible to oppose them in abstract thought, and if so, who could do it, and how.

By the time the same thing happens to them, it will of course be too late.
