Amen, Manuel!

Manuel Garcia, Jr. has published an excellent essay on the logic of corporate capitalist political marketing. Read it here.

Garcia’s overall thesis is this:

The social programming language of capitalist authoritarianism seeks to activate personal greed, intellectual insecurity and visceral racism as motivators of guided popular political reaction. The Pavlovian logic to this scheme of social manipulation is that all human beings are possessive, gullible and fearful.
