BEYOND THE SOCIETAL CATASTROPHE IN PROCESS
The beginning of the 21th
century carries in germ a decomposition, temporary but violent, of all or
part of the world human community. In several big countries, processes of
worsening of important conflictual phenomena already made up in the previous
century,
but which continue to threaten the peace of the human House,
are resulting from :
● 1) a geostrategic competition
of oligarchies, States, and groups of States, rising in tension, and degenerating into multi-form
violent
confrontations, regional, then worldwide ;
● 2)
an
outcome of processes of ethno-cultural undermining of diverse
populations (including by instrumentalization of the abrahamic religions,
schisms, and sects), degenerating into
inter-community civil wars, secessions, and modifications of entities, being
also able to start, feed, or accelerate, the effects of the previous point ;
● 3) an outcome of processes of financial and monetary undermining, with collapse of the most corrupt currencies, then
of their linked economies and public budgets, being also able to start, feed, or
accelerate, the effects of the previous 2 points;
● 4) speculations and induced shortages of essential raw materials (food, fresh water,
fuels, rare metals, etc.) being also able to start, accentuate, or accelerate,
the effects of the previous 3 points.
Every process is related to the
others, but following its own logic and its own dynamics, what makes the
whole potentially cumulative and not controllable. The
components of a deep crisis are gathered there.
The
strongest probability of explosion is during the first quarter of the 21th
century, with a possible transfer or shifting of events in the close short
term, but with a logical quasi-impossibility to avoid any violence, sooner
or later, considering the irreversible character and the severity of these
existing processes, which amplify mutually their effects. And it is
impossible, also, to foresee the duration of the violent events.
In
front of this statement, the best reaction is necessarily pragmatic : for
lack of being able to prevent such a caused societal disaster, but got out of
any control, it is necessary
to get organized to be able to attenuate as far as possible its effects
during the events, and to be able then to reconstruct as well as possible.
The
optimal conditions of such a process depend on the knowledge, the understanding, and
the application, of strong ethical and political principles, being able to
contribute to prevent other societal predations and underminings, by
improving the resiliency of our common human House, and its potential of
self-correction. What implies a new sharing, well balanced, of powers and
resources (including those of the information), in the general interest.
Knowing that it will be necessary to reconstruct a world human society whose
cohesion and permanent self-correction are more than ever necessities of
survival, it is better to prepare this worksite as soon as possible.
It is
also to what contributes the metacultural heritage of the historic humanism, common
patrimony of Humanity for more than 26 centuries, passed on and improved
from generation to generation, and whose major modern synthesis,
eco-humanism, incites to get on a great natural project of development and survival
of the human species, by its increasing intelligent cohesion and its permanent self-correction.
Somehow or other, historically, the human species gradually improved its
cohesion of ensemble, and went out strengthened from its trials, in spite of
all losses, sufferings, and destructions, which it momentarily underwent.
From now on, however, our badly used technological means (in particular
military) could put in danger our whole species. An essential contribution of eco-humanism is to have made it more
conscious and more clear, keeping nevertheless a prudent hope in our
exceptional evolutionary trajectory. Many
eco-humanists, throughout the world, share and pass on this hope and this
knowledge.
Let us get ready bravely to bear the next announced
societal thunderstorm -which can be very impacting- and to reconstruct a
collective organization in the scale of the formidable potential fate of our
species, without getting lost on bad ways. This implies daring to know, and knowing to dare. All things of which
we are capable.

Let us call a spade a spade
: the deep global societal crisis of the 21st century results from the activity of predatory plutocrats, supremacist and imperialist, mainly western (Anglo-Americans).
These plutocrats and their proxies (acting in governments, parties, banks, industrial complexes, etc.) are perverse
and corrupting predators, but enough intelligent anyway to mask and deform the reality, so that we cannot easily understand and anticipate their
actions and their purposes, while they are embarrassing and worrying their opponents
by a behavior alternately aggressive, or unpredictable, chaotic, and apparently absurd. But structurally, logically, ecologically, their predatory supremacist
system is doomed to failure.
The hypotheses of ending of the western pluto-imperialist system are the following ones:
1 - Auto-dissolution (as a result of its socioeconomic and financial bankruptcy, of technological dead ends, of a
depletion of its human and environmental resources, etc.).
2 - Controlled destruction by the outside (further
to actions of counter-undermining exercised by rival geopolitical blocks).
3 - Semi-controlled destruction by the inside (disorganization
and intra-destruction of the leading predatory mafia and of its
support-communities).
4 - Uncontrolled generalized destruction (in an internal and external violent conflagration).
5 - Temporary mutation of form (with new
alliances, new financial rules, a new organized misappropriation of legitimacy) moving but not avoiding a final systematic bankruptcy.
6 - Conjunction of several of these hypotheses.
But nothing obliges us to wait passively for these events. Because all this pathology can be
treated by the application of an effective societal immunization and vaccination, proceeding
from a reactive
legitimate autocorrection of Humanity, which it is worth to apply as
soon as possible.
