Eugenics in the Post Industrial Age -- Alan Watt
The post-industrial era is one where economic activity is consolidated under vast multinational consortiums, then outsourced and concentrated where it's cheaper, downsized to the utmost, and then automated, robotized and digitized.
In this, some countries are deindustrialized and become labor pools, competing with each other to attract multinational enterprises, while others never develop and are kept as territories for the cheap exploitation of natural resources and raw materials. No one country retains a full economy, one combining fully developed primary, secondary and tertiary sectors, which would allow for full employment and self-sufficiency. Instead, all become interdependent, meaning each depends on imports from others to sustain itself, and all are dependent on the global networks of corporate economic activity spanning (indeed, running) all of them. This being so, most of them are affected by blatant underproduction and by a general deficit in economic activity and employment.
In a world where the population is steadily increasing, all of this gives rise to masses of unemployed and unemployables. These, from an oligarchical point of view, express 'overpopulation' – the malthusian 'surplus population' of the 'economically useless' or 'obsolete', who may even become dissatisfied and rebellious, if not even revolutionary. Therefore, from the elitist, neomalthusian perspective, they need to be dealt with through population control and reduction. This is what someone in academia called “the law of progressive population reduction in the post-industrial age”.
The general approach to this is to bring about a reduction in birth rates while increasing mortality rates. This is done through social engineering measures, but also through more active measures:
(a) in developed societies, abortion and euthanasia are normalized, and there is the generalized resort to soft, slow acting, dissimulated methods, generally of a biochemical nature, to bring about infertility and degenerative diseases on huge proportions of the population.
(b) the underdeveloped world is kept weak and conflicted, and it's also subjected to mass coercive abortion and sterilization campaigns, generally under IMF and World Bank loan conditionalities, with UN operational supervision in the field.
And of course, the creation of conditions wherein plagues and epidemics can proliferate, has always been a technique of preference, from Malthus’ day onward.
All the while, under a eugenic point of view, 'useful labor' needs to be optimized for adaptive cognitive and somatic abilities in a corporatized world. On the one hand, this is done through policies of social conversion and reeducation. On the other, it's done through transhumanist measures, ranging from functional adjustments through drugs or man-machine interfaces, to the alteration of the nature of the body itself, through genetic modification and engineering.
To find your way out of this loop, you need to move towards an international system of free, democratic nation-states, cooperating with each other for mutual progress and development, while using the power of national credit issuance to (re-)industrialize and fully modernize their economies: to fund economically useful projects that will create employment and economic development (such as great infrastructural projects and public works), while issuing accessible public loans to corporations, companies, entrepreneurs and families who are interested in creating factories, businesses, farms, services, R&D projects, etc. This of course needs to be accompanied by anti-trust provisions and by the effective regulation of financial markets.
If this is done right, it will allow for the transformation of today's economies into high intensity, decentralized, industrial-production based economies, populated by myriads of independent companies and enterprises. It will also allow for near full employment and, what's more, for the vulgarization of high wage labor and for the universalization of the middle classes – where the vast majority of the population is middle class and enjoys a high standard of living, with enough capital to live comfortably, and to spend, consume and invest.
This, in essence, is the model by which Lincoln and Carey set the stage for the industrialization of the United States (and this gave you America as the prime industrial power in the world in the turn to the 20th century), and under which the U.S. economy developed from the New Deal and World War II onward – until it was essentially degraded and crippled by finance capital.
It's the model by which to bypass the brave new world, while heading for a world fit for Humanity to live in.
