1984 By George Orwell (1949)

1984 By George Orwell (1949)

1984, said to be one of George Orwell’s finest works, depicts a futuristic (futuristic in 1949 that is) dystopia where people lead meagre lives under the absolute rule of a single party dubbed simply The Party. We are introduced to a world where privacy is dead (except maybe inside your head) with every action “watched by Big Brother”; we are introduced to a world where free thought and free will…

China and the US – three Scenarios for a Future World Order – and Europe and the others – in between or underneath?

Part 1 with link to part 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 here - Deutsch hier

On the other hand – particularly young people from the countryside continue to move into the cities – and the rather poor rural population still is the majority of people there in China. And – they go into the factories there in the suburban areas hoping to escape from the meager rural subsistence. Lesley T. Chang that way reveals some gaps in Marx’ theory of alienation, who didn’t know Chinese pragmatism and – she shows off dreams and perspectives of young migrant workers in the Middle Kingdom.23 Just the way, I also found that country and  - the kids – “my team” there, when I recently worked there (in an office). But – in the year of the dragon the desire for change in the Middle Kingdom also in the sense of the 12th Five-year-plan stands in opposition to the desire for stability - and also the “safety of revenues” of cadre politicians on all levels and in all provinces. 24 And – the deepest longing for peace and harmony – particularly with the secretely admired and sometimes also hated US-Americans is shared by rather latent Taoists as much as by prevailing Confucianists in the Middle Kingdom. 25

The racy development with its giant dimensions also tearing apart the “Middle Kingdom”– “Urbanism without Urbanity” towards what Mike Davis states in the “Planet of Slums”  - as Davis later observes the “classic social sciences” 47 and within that leading protagonists like Karl Marx and Max Weber never have foreseen that. Rural exodus, suburban area populating and inner city industrialization and vice versa – suburban area industrialization and inner city populating and all processes of shifting, expulsion and suppression to be highly efficient in time and space are phenomena, which because of the lacking socio-scientific theories require real-time infrastructural planning. Quite true, but there are also many experiences and empirical values within the industrial (R) evolution of the North, which in comparison to that took us much longer and which enables us to make this real-time planning significantly easier.

Insofar this could also lead us into a rather creeping course of the “crisis” over many years away. This might however go with many consistently jerkily proceeding slices and settlings in the course of the assimilation processes of weakened economies just focused on growth – but it might also lead to some smaller or medium-sized crashes with the equivalent annihilation of capital and the pushs of inflation related to that. Above all – “under considerate caring siege” – the biggest presence of US-military forces in the Pacific since WW2 certainly the Middle Kingdom also searchs to emancipate itself in its currency politics by means of the Offshore-Yuan and commercial treaties with the other big emerging nations Brazil, Russia and India – since the end of 2011 also with Japan– looking for ways out of the dependency on the Dollar. 44

There might emerge a strong hierarchy – the US as leading power of the West and China on top of the emerging nations aside – always grimly opposing each other for the pole position, underneath the emerging nations, mentioned above and the “Old Continent” Europe, significantly weakened by the Euro crisis. Canada, which here often is regarded in a slightly exaggerated way as “the biggest opposition party in the North Americas” with 32 million inhabitants and Australia and Oceania are alongside there. The South then is following below – Africa, Asia – poorer regions – following the particular state of development and the equivalently statically evaluated potentials for development. This would approximately rather be the neofeudal scenario. After all a development, wherein severe feudal relationships on all levels of scales could be preserved – or even might be invigorated – as for example in the Indian cast system. With the omnipresent “Landlordism” being dominated by powerful private interests and “urban development” that way also managed by force – in the context of blatant landgrabbing in the South and vehemently prejudged safeguarding of tenures and customary law in the North the Status-Quo that way would be updated. A process of crystallization is taking place, which in consideration of the dynamic evolution would be anything else but “sustainable” or stable and requires structural as much as physical violence – which also means multiple wars on all levels. Internal civil wars amongst different tribes and ethnic groups as much as external wars between singular countries and constant proxy wars over ressources and geostrategical hegemonies that way are inevitable. 48

As an alternative to that – as already represented here in-depth it could also come to an increased layered arrangement – thus also to a bigger vertical permeability inside of and amongst the multiple scale levels. That way also trade and exchange – knowledge and technology transfer can realize itself increasingly more amongst different levels of experience. Multiple interactions for solving the huge problems – or rather also – as an answer to weighty challenges, the Species Homo Sapiens Sapiens is facing can emerge in expansively densely tied networks. A flexible fabric is created that way, which independently from ethnic or social origin has the big picture as much as the small and seemingly irrelevant detail locally and globally in the field of vision. Ergo an evolution process, where the Species in its ambience is appreciated based on the individual and its demands in being and becoming. The individual itself here though is regarded as part of this collective history. The intersection between individual and collective existence therein is the essential point, where the exchange of experiences on different local levels of development can proceed in the Global City – in the continuous dialogue with the countryside. The place of the social being, which is defining the consciousness and therein also the leading parameters for any kind of action in planning – creation and design here also that way has to be evaluated in its context of history of culture and civilization. Following such models of exchange of experiences within different stages of development of industrial history and shiftings and distortion of times and spaces we are much better enabled to handle local environmental pollution with equivalent local procedures – quite independent of the scenario of climate change, which almost has become stylized as a religious war – meaning, whether the darkest prophecies will come true or whether there are many athmospheric backlashs, the young science of climate research couldn’t yet trace at all. Ultimately it’s always about improving living conditions of humans and animals – humans and their environment – flora and fauna at one place or the other. We are many, but – without us we are nothing.

The third scenario ergo – slipping into the catastrophe – the World War 3 scenario – as a permanently and continuously smoldering major fire with a correspondent annihilation of ressources – significantly increasing the acceleration of the darkest climate predictions and by that reduction of the world’s population on one place or the other in the course of proxy wars – I think, nobody out of the 99+1 % here will frankly declare that as his or her deepest desire. In case of these events happening this would be a confession of failure of the species Homo Non Sapiens, who then would represent himself as the scum of creation. The home planet of that creature however would soon somehow recover from that annoying plague – the way this is shown in multiple ways within Alan Weisman’s researches about the “World without us” 10.
