Capitalism: Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization
Autor Abdullah Ocalan Traducere de Havin Guneser Prefață de Radha D'Souzaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 dec 2017
To understand how capitalism has come to engulf our world, we must understand how it developed out of classical civilization. Its historical roots lie in the emergence of hierarchies, power, monopolies, and the nation-state, argues Abdullah Ocalan.
Capitalism: The Age of Unmasked Gods and Naked Kings is the second book in a new five-volume work called Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization. Together, they present the synthesis of Ocalan's political thinking. This volume completes his journey through the history of civilizations, preparing the ground for the upcoming volume on The Sociology of Freedom.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Capitalism: The Age of Unmasked Gods and Naked Kings is the second volume of Abdullah Ocalan's definitive five-volume work The Manifesto of the Democratic Civilization. For years he has unraveled the sources of hierarchical relations, power, and the formation of nation-states that has led to capitalism's emergence and global domination. He makes the convincing argument that capitalism is not a product of the last four hundred years but a continuation of classical civilisation. Unlike Marx, Ocalan sides with Braudel by giving less importance to the mode of production than to the accumulation of surplus value and power, thus centering his criticisms on the capitalist nation-state as the most powerful monopoly of economic, military, and ideological power. He argues that the fundamental strength of capitalist hegemony, however, is the competition in voluntary servitude that a market economy has given rise to - not a single worker would reject higher wages - resulting in an unprecedented ability to convince people to surrender their individual power and autonomy. Ocalan further contends that the capitalist phase of city-class-state-based civilisation is not the last phase of human intelligence; rather, the traditional morals upon which it is based are being exhausted and the intelligence of freedom is rising in all its richness. That is why he prefers to interpret capitalist modernity as the era of hope but only insofar as we are able to develop a sustainable defense against it.
