Dr. Nathan Hare's Fictive Theory and the Global Village
Dr. Nathan Hare's Fictive Theory and the Global Village
Inprognosticating events in 2011, we must employ Dr. Nathan Hare'sFictive theory, i.e., everything the white man says is fiction or a lieuntil proven to be a fact. Additionally, we must utilize Elijah's thesisthat the wisdom of this world is exhausted. And this includes muchnon-white thinking because it originates from those educated and trainedin white supremacy institutions, whether academic, corporate orpolitical, and cultural as well. So we must discount and dismiss thethinking of state intellectuals and/or the colonial elite who are mereimitations of their masters.

Wikileakshas given us an inkling of the lies emanating from the Euro-centricwhite supremacy world. And yes, sadly, our first black President isguilty of joining the tradition of misinformation
to advanceEuro-centric world hegemony. We must be highly suspect of anyEurocentric pronouncements and prognostications, for Dr. Hare and Elijahare correct that it is mostly fiction derived from an exhausted mentalapparatus, grounded in fictional white supremacy.
The reality isthat the West is in decline and the non-white world is ascending topower, this includes the African, Asian, Indigenous (Americas) peoples,especially the BRIC nations, i.e.,
Brazil, Russia, India and China. They are the new boys and girls on the block of the emerging global political/economic order.
Wemust discount all theories and thinking from the Euro-centric world.The West must be assisted off stage as happened last night with Rock andRoll king Chuck Berry. African proverb says the king may be strong andhearty but he shall not live forever.
We seriously doubt whetherthe king is strong and hearty for we have written about broken systemsoriginating in broken minds, e.g., the cause and response to the Gulfoil spill, Katrina, the cause and solution to the global economicmeltdown. Such irrational behavior is justification to have the guiltyplaced in the mental ward since they are a danger to themselves andothers.
Euro-American thinking is totally inept, incompetent andparalyzed by its addiction to white supremacy in a rapidly ascendingnon-white world. We must therefore separate ourselves, North AmericanAfricans, from such irrationality and unify our thinking with the newworld order which is the Afro-Asian, Indigenous people, specificallythose in the Americas.
We must not listen seriously toEuro-American thinking on China, rather we invite the Chinese to speakdirectly with us as a nation of forty million people who have the rightto self-determination is all matters. Why do we need informationfiltered through the Euro-centric prism, especially when we know hespeaks with a forked tongue as Dr. Hare and the Indigenous people havetaught us? Even Jesus told us there are liars and murderers who abodenot in the truth.
As independent people, we must invite theChinese, Russians, Indians, Brazilians, Venezuelans, Cubans, Africansand others to town hall meetings so we can be informed people. We don'tneed CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, BBC, Pacifica or Democracy Now to tell ussecond-hand information. Even though Al Jazerrah is owned by the rulingclass in Qatar, at least we get a better perspective than theEuro-centric or Jim Crow Media, the title of Ishmael Reed's latest book.
Whilewe see the Euro-American world in a mental, political and economiccrisis, the non-white world is booming. Euro-centric political thinkingis bleeding, e.g., no solution in Afghanistan other than more massmurder; certainly no solution in Pakistan, absolutely not in theIsraeli/Palestinian crisis; Iran, North Korea. Even when the non-whitenations offer solutions, in their arrogance, the West ignores theirplans as it did recently when Turkey and Brazil offered a solution tothe Iranian nuclear crisis. As the former president of Brazil told hisFrench counterpart, "You blue-eyed people think you are so damn smart.But you can't solve world problems because you are the cause of them."
Inthe Middle East, it is Turkey and Iran with some semblance of ademocratic tradition, although we know Iran's democratically electedpresident was overthrown by America. Nevertheless, Iran, despite it'stheological madness, will be a regional power. The Arab nations ofEgypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states make no pretence aboutdemocracy, meanwhile they are American protectorates in collusion withIsrael to prolong the suffering of Palestinians and obstructing Shiarule in Iraq. For sure, Shia power is expanding from the Tigress andEuphrates to the Mediterranean.
As per Africa, we are witnessingthe slow death of presidents for life regimes. Zimbabwe and the IvoryCoast being the present examples of states in the last days ofdictatorial rule, although it will be some time before neo-colonialismdies a natural death. A functional African Union is slowly advancingthough it is in danger of morphing into a tool of Euro-Americanimperialism, if not a whore for Chinese economic aggression, tradinginfrastructure trinkets for precious metals and oil.
We seeAmerica using Christian Ethiopian soldiers in her proxy war withSomalia. The Europeans are persistent in their desire to control oil inNigeria, grabbing gold, diamonds and other precious metals in the Congoand South Africa. The neo-colonial governments are tempted to surrendertheir sovereignty as in the days of old but democratic forces are on themove with Ghana the leading example. The persistent challenge issocalled tribalism, a psychosocial disease bound in ethnic and religiousmyth-ritual.
North American Africans must take off our rose orwhite colored glasses to think and see clearly beyond the box ofEuro-centrism, for our addiction to white supremcy is so profound andpervasive we are known as "the other white people." If we refuse toconsider Dr. Nathan Hare's fictive theory and Elijah's thesis that theWest is exhausted, we shall only find ourselves deeper in the box of PanAmericana. We shall continue wandering in the wilderness, lost andturned out on the way to grandmother's house (the Whispers).
Wemust exercise critical thinking with special attention to the politicaleconomy of our brothers and sisters throughout the non-white globalvillage, especially the BRIC nations, Africa and the Indigenous peoplesthroughout the Americas.
As per the future of the Euro-AmericanWest, it shall have no future unless it is able to make radicalstructural changes in its notion of white supremacy free marketcapitalism. The greedy accumulation of capital at all costs shall be putin check by the demand of sovereignty and respect of non-whitenations.
Minor changes in capitalism will not suffice, such asCSR, i.e., corporate social responsibility. The capitalist baby must bedestroyed for the primary notion of profit and growth is anathema tohuman dignity. Economic value must transcend the growth metric andaspire to the social metric of human development, including livingwages. This involves thinking beyond the quarterly reports and pureprofit, beyond inducing consumerism, doping people into wanting thingsthey do not need. Such putrid thinking has corrupted the global village.This holiday season one of my students begged his girlfriend not tobuy him anything. He has been trying for months to convince her he isnot a material man, but so far she has not grasped the concept of thespiritual man and woman who have detoxed and recovered from Euro-centricconspicuous consumption or the world of make believe.
Thecapitalists must detox and recover from their drunken orgies and shortterm gains that in the long term cause human and environmentaldestruction. At the present hour, capitalist business is bad forbusiness. If the genetically altered crops kill pests and insects, whywill it not kill man?
North American Africans shall neither advance or progress until they sever the umbilical cord of
dependencyon the decadent, hurtful Republican and spineless Democratic partieswho represent the very worse political economic thinking deriving fromthe corporate/military/university complex.
We must envisioneconomic independence through collective economics or do for self, i.e.,self determination. Your political economic leaders are derelict intheir duties if they cannot present an economic agenda that addressesperennial joblessness in the hood with the concomitant criminalizationof millions who are ultimately incarcerated for economic crimes, mostlypetty.
Minus a revolution in the capitalist system, there is noalternative to micro loans and entrepreneurship, especially in the faceof continued discrimination, outsourcing and wage slavery jobs.
