Capitalism

“Capitalism is not a human symptom but rather a planetary inevitability. In other words, capitalism was here even before human existence, waiting for a host,” or “I do not look at monotheistic religions as Serat-o-al-Mostaghim (the straight path), nor do I curse them as ghouls of repression. I simply see them as generous mothers pregnant with their minorities – thousands, millions of them; a female scorpion devoured by its own children, ripped apart from the belly. This is what Ibn Maymun taught us, the minority holocaust.”Cyclonopedia – Complicity with Anonymous Materials (re.press, 2008), a “theoretical-fiction novel” by Iranian philosopher and writer Reza Negarestani
