Its ciao, doofus, and I made no reference to any "truths." I merely noted that you post pseudo-intellectual gobbledygook. Try stating your case clearly or go back to tending the sheep.

Quick to jump the gun aren't we, Bruce. Italian lessons aside, cut with the gun toating drama will ya.

I'm still right. The Taliban are an artifice, a product of Pax Americana, and not a naturally occurring phenomenon which is what Marxist dialectics contemplate.

how about unnatural contextual evolution? or natural pretextual transmogrification? or paradigmatic nontextual devolution? or facets of unnatural paradigms? or facets of Taleban disproportionate surplus CIA/ISI paradigms? or disproportionate scarcity of evolutionary paradigms? or paradigmatic scarcity of surplus paradigms?

Ah, Marxist Dielectics. Perfect. That rounds out the picture. I think I'd better keep my powder dry and stick to the gun toading. Anyone who tries to wrap his tortured brain around Das Kapital is bound to come off half-crazed.

In a nutshell seeing as Bruce has asked me. We are living in a world dominated by post Pax Britannia and contemporary Pax Americana and consequently, we can only see its future through that cultural prism. Contemplating what the world will be like is fruitless as a consequence, but with one proviso. One can reason one's understanding of future dynamics. Current causes (economic, resourcing and social) will have future effects.

As an example. The late feudal era from which the US sprang was a world equally at the crossroads because of the then causative forces. Yet who could possibly have foreseen the modern US. Instead, the dialogue would have been almost entirely centred around the emerging conflict between the older landed classes and the new bourgeoisie. Unless, of course, one looked beyond the narrow confines of that debate to the natural consequences of an emerging elite on a resource laden new continental acquisition, within a new global context. All at a time when the company was taking form as a trading entity.

Today, we stand on the brink of hyper-capitalism which will unleash forces way beyond anything we can understand. As well as strife, these forces will transition us to another paradigm. Of that you can be sure. There will be no return to the late feudal days of early bourgeoisie America. The American bourgeoisie, for example, have moved well beyond that dialogue in setting up shop in China.

As Chester points out, rightfully so, Davey Crockett sold his soul at the crossroads and laden with too many feudal resources went on to die at the Alamo for Proctor & Gamble but left his continental acquisitions in Santa Fe with no regard for the global context. The narrow confines of the debate with Wyatt Earp gave little scope for consideration of older landed elites. Trading entities can still be heard at the Winchester Mansion late at night as they rattle their chains and speak in ghostly tones of paradigms and Chinese sweatshops. And of course we all know where the Winchester fortune came from.

Calm down and counter me with logic. I am always open to reasoned logic. My point is this. Our bourgeoisie masters converse in Mandarin and yet we have the likes of Pretorian still converisng in the language of the land owning Confederacy class.

You see how absurd it is? Irrespective of how much you may dislike the smell of a black etc, etc, you will go wither capital leads and we are not yet done with globalisation and what we have yet to become.

In fact, racists are latter day Don Quixotes. Whilst globalisation moves apace, they harken back to a time when capital was inefficiently deployed. It aint gonna happen. And by the time we hit the buffers of depletion, globalisation will have left an indelible mark. It already has with the internet!

You need to understand whats to come for in doing so, you retain the faculties of discrimination. Follow your emotions and you will die highly confused.

The podium is yours. I'm more than happy for you to enlighten me as to where your logic trumps mine. A brief response will suffice.

My position is that racists and those who anticipate some spontaneous ethnic bloodbath do not understand the nature of capital, its global direction, it's overwhelming impact on our lives and cultures and it's relentless march and the indelible mark it will leave in globalising humanknd.

Now whether a globalised humanity is good or bad is neither here nor there. It will happen. Its effect will be felt by all of us though in the refugees in our midst, the increasing transcience of skilled labour, linguistic interaction and massive demographic changes.

Out of this will emerge another world, one in the midst of grappling with blurred demographics, failing resourcing and perhaps, climate instability. I suspect that what emerges will defy contemporary thinking as did moden America vis-a-vis its founding.

Perhaps you believe otherwise.

edit: as capital decomes increasingly inter-dependent, so will the language of our culture. Capital tolerates only that which is necessary for its accumulation, shedding away by degree that which is not.

First of all, there are no "two logics." Logic is logic. Therefor my "logic" cannot trump "your logic" or vice versa. Secondly, I did not weigh in here on the racism issue but rather your nonsensical verbal gobbledygook. As far as racism goes, it's bad and I don't approve of it.

Bald assertions that my position is gobbledygook will not suffice. Counter them or put up.
I'll make it easy for your. It could for example read as follows:

Your position; that a globalising capital will leave an indelible global culture and that racists or those who see race ending history are wrong, is gobbledygook because,...etc, etc.

I have something to go by then and may well be proven to be talking balderdash. As it is I have nothing to go by other than hysteria. The tired old cliche that we are all intrinsically blood thirsty tribals does not answer my assertion that we are being conditioned to assume a more global outlook in the way we shop, eat, work live and seek employment. Whether its good or bad is another matter of power.

Well you can't get much clearer than that. The whole global indelible thing and smelly blacks. What a paradigm! I'm surprised it took me so long to see it. And you can't make a black more angry than to call him shite skin. BTW, when a little Mexican kid insults me, I tell him "tu eres un perro que comes mosquas." It works every time and his classmates always giggle. In English: "You are a dog that eats flies." Never used the shite skin line, too sensitive. Mexican kids are more at ease, they jokingly refer to themselves as beaners. But I wouldn't use "naco." That would really piss them off.

I think its evident that out of this, I will be proven right or wrong in my logic.That is provided you give me something to work with, and I reiterate:

Turning to old patterns of behaviour fail to take account of the new global paradigm, comprehensively driven as it is by capital. They fail in much the same way that forcasting a new era of British style hereditary land ownership in the US would have failed to account for the rise of intangible property and the era of American capital.

Alternatively, your view may carry suficient weight to provide us with an another equally valid scenario. However, the context is capital and its logical tendencies. Therefore, in arguing, for example, the race case, we owe it to the reader to explain the inconsistency of the Mandarinisation of western capital and how this meshes with that particular position to give us the same efficient capital outcome.

Alternatively you may have another very logical case. Hard, linkeable evidence of catastrophic resource collapse next year perhaps and a nipping of the globalisation agenda in the bud.

Please, enlighten me.
