I first heard about Revolution Populi already being in prison. In prison, where I am till now. Of course I could not research the subject in detail for reasons beyond my control. But in spite of circumstances I got a certain ideas of political economic meaning of Revolution Populi. In context of dark post-Deleuzian philosophy I am trying to outline my views now. Let’s go.
I already used imagery of Cyclonopedia for similar task in one of my recent texts. I was considering markets of cryptocurrencies like space of unlimited differentiation of being/existence/objective reality, which subvert any authoritarian economical or political supremacy by disorderly proliferation of measures and scales. Negarestani’s description about mechanics of decay became starting point for me there.
“Power requires a ground in order to turn into a formative power (power of law, the State, religion, et cetera), and decay incapacitates the ground by which power is instrumentalized. But how does the rotting process or decay put the puissance over zero so as to unground power? The answer lies in decay’s differentiating delirium and its cancerous attitude towards niefrun (scale)”.
“If scales are used in formative maintenance and in the perpetuation of integrity, they can also degenerate formation once their rate of proliferation or differentiation surpasses the capacity of the formation and its regenerating speed”.
Of course market of cryptocurrencies changed a lot since I was jailed five years ago. At that time it really looked like chaos, anarchy and ‘disorderly proliferation” of scales. For the most part there used to be a market of Deep Web and Shadow Economy. At the present moment the matter is quite otherwise. More people with clear conscience and blue eyes. They don’t afraid to show identity cards in case of registration on online-stockmarkets. More regulation. More standing orders.
Rate of differentiation and proliferation leveling by regeneration speed. At first sight.But I think all hat is not so simple. And Fiat Capitalism has no chance to avoid a decay.Just keep up with currency affairs. It can be seen what on both Pale of Fiat Capitalistic Supremacy and Pale of Differentiation appearing patterns of multi- purpose activities. Moreover, these purposes often are exact opposite each others. Such inconsistencies giving vertical movement, which can subvert any straightforward strategy. By situated down streams of undercover complicity between forces of opposing ontological sides.
On one hand the Pole of Fiat Capitalism resisting to offensive of crypto-anarchic wilderness. By legislation. And by the Media. To compare news content of American media, which serves interest of Republicans and Democrats. They holds the same views on matter of cryptocurrencies. Despite of difference in views on all others matters. That is noteworthy.But it is one vector of movement only. On other side of Capitalistic System brewing complete antithesis.
Some Corporations and Institutions understands investment potential of cryptocurrencies. Of course this investment potential caused on condition that cryptocurrencies can solve problems Fiat Capitalism makes. I mean any restrictions of free economic activities and costs, which caused financial middlemen-institutions and public laws. Nonetheless, some actors of Fiat Capitalism looks for means for such investition in order to increase their own influence in new circumstances.Just keep up with current affairs. NASDAC already started with bitcoin-futures. It’s just beginning.
Capitalism will invest resources in ecosystems, which subvert basis of Capitalistic Supremacy. Fiat currencies. National state. Public laws. It’s logic of cyclonic movement.Any integrated systems getting in touch with space. Differentiation begins to decay.To disintegrate to multiplicity of new beings, which have their own interests and strategies of survival. It’s going on here. Inconsistencies inside Capitalistic System increasing.But complicated patterns of counter-currencies exist on markets of cryptocurrencies too.
It’s tactical tasks corresponds to complicated logic of countercurrents, which giving vertical movement. One the one hand blockchain RVP is made in the capacity of infrastructure for working of future Clearing House. This project is meant integration of cryptocurrency market in the financial system of Global Capitalism.
In this regard blockchain RVP corresponds to needs of some Capitalistic Actors. Which attempts to increase own supremacy by means of investments in crypto-assets. But it’s only on the one hand.
On the other hand this blockchain will work as infrastructure for network space of Web3 as well. Everybody knows what is it. This phenomenon which will abolish present-day reality of Surveillance Capitalism together with Facebook, Google and censorial politics of National States. To sum up.
Blockchain RVP appears like stand-alone machine which can incapacitate (unground) integrity of present-day Capitalistic System. Like subversive machine which can use resources of ones capitalistic institutions for incapacitating machinery of others. Like machine producing decay of Power (Authority) using it’s offensive activities. What do you want? Revolution? Resistance against Capitalistic System?
These global left-wing Social Justice Warriors form the guard of Surveillance Capitalism. And vice versa. Projects like RevPop become a tool of guerrilla warfare against any formative force. Against capitalism. Against nation-states. Despite the origins or command of Revolution Populi. Despite the relationship with Goldman Such and Donald Trump. Such is the dialectic of human history and its inhuman irony.
