Foucaultian Reading of Current Events: Imminent formation of an American Military State

Filed under: Uncategorized — undrdawg1 @ 6:27 pm

The American system of education is geared more towards psychologically subjugating students in the lower economic stratum, than towards cognitively liberating them.

Moreover, systematically psychologically controlling and mentally castrating the lower economic stratum works to maintain the existing political and economic hegemony of the upper economic stratum.

The upper economic stratum, thus, perpetually maintains positions of consummate power within the state. It does so through its inexhaustible financial resources and its ability to mesmerize the masses through rhetorical prowess.

The upper economic stratum, consequently, gains control of the nation’s military might and uses it to extend the upper economic stratum’s influence, increase its economic advantage, and advance its own purposes. Hence, the birth of the military state and an economy of war.

The production of auxiliary industries of war and the appropriated natural resources and labor of colonized countries would soon sustain America

The American poor are off to war

They enlist with a sigh, as a way to survive

And are sent overseas to die.
