This is what happens when i listen to lil wayne and read lacan + badiou. Let me know what you think please :] criticism would be phat
Its just a sketch of an idea currently, so its not really put into any context, but basically its about how the alienation of the people is not a one way street: aliens can attack too
_________________________________________________
The lack is made into something positive. It is inverted. A void that was structurally necessary for reactionary Order becomes an Excess and subverts that Order.
The revolutionary uprising of the proletariat is the inversion of a void/lack (the class with ‘nothing to lose but their chains’ suddenly realises it has ‘a world to win’). Proletarian revolution turns its class lack into a positive force, and this force has the potential to destroy the capitalist order entirely.
The proletarian subject, confronted with an unbearable-unavoidable world of private property to which he is rendered alien, which is sustained by an atmosphere that doesn’t allow him to breathe, has no dignified choice but to launch an Alien Invasion in order to seize control of the planet, alter its atmosphere, and expropriate all property. (this is what Huey called "revolutionary suicide", and this is also what Badiou means when he says that courage is inverted anxiety)
The bourgeoisie, destracted by the fictional movie about an attack from outer space, are oblivious to the real alien, which grows within the popcorn upon which they gorge themselves.
This is a good illustration of the bourgeois metaphysical ideology in general: they see every thing as separate and static, with change or destruction only happening due to the interference of an outside agent (the Martian, the Jew, etc.)*. Dialectics, on the other hand, understands that every thing is connected and leads to its own negation. Just as the living body contains the seed of its own death, just as the capitalist economy creates its own crisis, so does the Alien Invasion of the bourgeois world come not from outer space but from the depths of this world itself. The Alienated/Proletarianated Subject arises from the burnt out center of the Earth, its soul on fire, its wings and eyes wide open, and its arsenal supplied by the capitalists.
This is the Real (protracted peoples) war of the worlds, and this is why we can probably win.
Alienation leads to Alien Invasion.
Communist revolution is not just ‘the world turned upside down’; it is inside out as well.
*Humanity in the case of Greenism
