In the primeval epoch, our nomadic essence reveled in unbound autonomy, thriving beyond the specters haunting our minds, as Stirner envisioned. The primal ego, unshackled from the capitalist specters, roamed, claiming the earth’s bounty as personal domain, a vagrant sovereign.
But epochs ebbed, a mere flicker in the infinite tapestry, when the primal voyager unearthed wheat, nectar of sustenance. Swiftly, this sustenance became a pawn in the clutches of tribal overlords. The primal hunger, a fragment of desire, ensnared, transmogrified into a tool of subjugation, spawning the Kulak-led order, a maze of hierarchical submission. Armed sentinels, tribal dogma, and the pulpit’s sway solidified, birthing the genesis of statism
The transition from the feral egoist to the archaic human birthed an unprecedented abstract despotism. Tribal conflicts birthed an entrenched reliance on authoritarian structures, infiltrating every facet of individual existence. The individual, ensnared by fealty—to kin, state, faith, and societal dogma—succumbed to the clutches of normative bondage.
At the beginning authority manifested within the kulak’s centralized clutch, but through the epochs of antiquity, it fragmented, disseminating throughout societal strata. This diffusion birthed a sprawling, labyrinthine power matrix akin to an octopoid entity, its tentacles coiling and stretching across the tapestry of ancient realms. From a singular locus, authority evolved into a polycentric, pervasive network, weaving its tendrils through the convoluted pathways of civilization’s unfolding narrative.
Then the rise of Christianity shattered tribal customs, ensnaring the masses under the dual dominion of Church and monarchy. Feudalism's chains bound the lower strata to their lords, entrenching control mechanisms.
The tentacles of authority, woven by the Church and nobility, tightly gripped society until the insurgent bourgeoisie, emerging as a revolutionary force, initiated an existential conflict against the nobility. This conflict birthed capitalism, a dynamic force relentless in its dissolution of Europe’s time-honored institutions, desecrating the once-sacred. Authority transmuted, shifting from lordship to the parliamentary rule of the commons—the bourgeoisie—a transformative juncture signifying the passage from antiquity to modernity, paving the way for the advent of liberalism.
The divine was cast aside, usurped by the ascendancy of humanity's grandeur. The hallowed sanctity once enshrined in the Holy Spirit dissipated, making room for the emergence of a collective human essence.
Humanity became the core ideal, endowing man with rights and liberties tethered to the contours of the "humane." Across ideologies—Liberalism, Socialism, Communism, Distributism—a tumultuous battleground emerged, each vying to transmute the individual into a mere ragmuffin vessel, a devoted foot soldier in the relentless crusade for humanity's cause. The struggle among these ideologies twisted and contorted the individual in service of their distinct visions for the collective good.
The world plunged into an ideological battlefield, zeal versus zeal, where people joyously embraced the abstract fight for their righteous causes. Nazis clashed with liberals in Europe, while Japan's Showa imperialism clashed against Sun Yet Sen's Three Principles in China, only to face the fierce opposition of Mao's Communist Party. Fascists and communists locked horns in Russia, birthing an improbable alliance—Liberalism and Marxist-Leninism uniting against the looming threat of fascism.
Post-fascism, a 44-year war erupted between liberalism and socialism, birthing the postmodern man. This chaotic spectacle, a war of abstract forces, aimed to regiment the masses into the tentacles of control systems wielded by the sprawling octopus. Amidst this tumult, liberalism emerged as the mightiest gladiator within the octopus's domain.
Liberalism's global conquest indoctrinated the masses into the cult of humanist ideals, venerating the sacrosanctity of property rights, democracy, and capitalism. It seemed to signal the termination of history, an era where the post-liberal or post-capitalist future faded into oblivion. Communism, Socialism, Distributism, and Technocracy, relegated to mere chapters in history books, were deemed failed experiments, vanquished by the seemingly "natural" order imposed by liberalism's ascendancy.
Amid this prevailing narrative, the notion of a socialist revolution dwindles, as liberalism firmly entrenches itself as the unyielding and seemingly invincible societal edifice. The aura of inevitability surrounding liberal values eclipses the resurgence of alternative ideologies, solidifying liberalism's supremacy as the reigning paradigm.
To break free from the clutches of the octopus, the process involves unraveling its core, deeply embedded in domestication. Unraveling, implies a process of de-territorialization—a departure from fixed structures and constraints. Re-wilding, then, becomes a pathway to unshackling oneself from the octopus's grip by returning to a state of unbounded wildness.
How does one undertake this de-territorialization and rewilding? The answer lies in embracing a profound sense of ownership—an existential reclamation marked by shedding abstract shackles like morality, humanism, political rights, states, and duty.
"All things are nothing to me" echoes this detachment, signaling a rejection of imposed values and a shift towards self-affirmation. It signifies a departure from conventional societal norms, encouraging a return to a liberated, self-possessed existence through de-territorialization and rewilding.
