  2. Border Security is a good example of such a pathology, To think if American sanctions did not punish other countries from doing business with Venezuela the scum of the earth of that society would never have left it! These are people Venezuela does not care to have back or will incarcerate them. Venezuelans youth gangs will take their chances here. The migrant crime rings formed in NYC will spread and spread and stay in America. The social circumstances get bad enough and they will the Venezuelans will use them as bargaining chips to stop US sanctions. Other nations do not want to be punished by the US, their assets frozen and their transactions canceled, so they avoid doing business with Venezuela. There is a social consequence bullies are too stupid to understand, one of them is an obvious action people will take; a mass exodus the way the Jews could not go back to Europe, these migrants cannot go back to Venezuela, so they will try and try again to re-enter as recruits into gangs with resources. Effectively, Venezuela is strangled, it cannot develop its industries to absorb the unemployed, or take care of its population without the income from selling and buying on the world market the products of its domestic industries because it has been placed on a terror list and a Gang of Four as they have recently been christened leads the charge to crack down on migrants. Sanctions make a bully, a bully makes wars and wars make universal resistance, the end. The bully attitude above is identical to the bully attitude below making everyone absolutely miserable and psychotic in between unable to enjoy society and its offerings without fear of death. To this effect I say to America; Grow Up!

  4. Speaking generally, under feudalism, you did not have to have a theory of value to know who was subjugated and who was not subjugated. Besides people back then witnessed the exploitation of man by man right in front of them on a routine basis and in every social setting through their own relatives, friends, bosses, churches, employers, social classes, states and nations. In a capitalist society, subjugation is not so clear and direct. Exploitation happens but its not out in the open or at least it hasn’t been until now in the latter stages of socio-historical development. This is because our society, a society that places a value on gold as the money-commodity, is a society of objects relating to each other as values, and money and commodities is the general social form of agriculture and industry, employment and communities, interact as values and circulate between people as buyers and sellers, that you need a theory of value to explain how someone ends up richer than yourself and acquires the powers to subjugate your person, mind and body. For this reason religion of any kind that places a God between humans and the material world is a subjugation of a non-human entity over a human entity, s projected over the real exploitation between humans, and substituting the real relationship of human and nature. Two things are happening. There is the general interaction of humans with nature and there is the specific social relation of objects concealing the exploitation between the subjects that makes the social origins of subjugation in a modern society invisible.
