On Globalized Capital-Democracy
"Time for Time" at Utopian Conference
in Madrid
Hamburg/Madrid. While the term "globalization" started
to infiltrate our minds and its effects irreversibly changed the
face of our planet, the utopia "Time for Time" was developed at
the Philosophical Seminar of the Hamburg University, and will
be presented at the 4th International Utopian Studies Conference
in Madrid.
Little by little it is more generally accepted that the “one-world-idea”
was not at all designed to improve the living standards of the
masses, but that it much rather serves the interests of a few
multi-national enterprises and their protagonists. Under the cloak
of democratizing the world, the fatal modernist project of Francis
Bacon takes its destructive and unrestrained course – up
to completely rationalizing and dehumanizing all traditional values
and the very foundations of life.
The beneficiaries of this morbid system, namely the caste of
managers, the staff of corporations and institutions, politicians,
militarists and investors, call this system @demokratie®©™
which is worth fighting for.
The masses, however, lose out by being confronted with an unleashed
and ruthless capitalism. All over the world they were and are
gradually sacrificed on the altar of the so-called democracy.
They are deprived of power, expropriated, separated and degraded
to slaves, who, if at all, may wipe the Pugo of the globalized
capital-democracy, namely the caste of workers and consumers,
the caste of the discarded, the caste of the exploited and the
caste of cannon-fodder to name but a few.
Herb Buchlowski and Andreas Friedrich Halle have dedicated their
utopian project “Time for Time” to them by analyzing
the existing system and by investigating its blind spots. At the
same time, they have looked for ways out and designed a form of
utopian global society. They have abolished money, borders and
the belief in the infinite economic growth. They have established
a world-wide network and came across caring people who reflected
on what to do with their life time. Many of them have entered
into a discussion with the authors and contributed their ideas
to “Time for Time”. On the one hand, the work criticizes
the existing social conditions and, on the other hand, offers
possibilities as to how people may deal differently with the means
they have.
The site http://www.zeitfuerzeit.net
offers (at the moment only in german language) a wide range of
information on the subject of "Utopia": Apart from numerous
annotated links the interactive book project "Time for Time"
by the Hamburg based authors Herb Buchlowski and Andreas Friedrich
Halle is presented, an Utopian travelogue which invites you to
join in.
