Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony

An Abstractly Contradictory System of Concrete Non-Contradiction

The Democracy Paradox

The project of worldwide democracy is a false cause. Western democracy needs dictatorship in the countries in which voting is either fundamentally flawed due to corrupt infrastructure, economic weakness, or religious-political extremism. It is in the best interest of the major world neoliberal powers to have second-tier countries that fundamentally serve the political and economic interests of the first-tier countries rather than themselves.

The neoliberal projects can not be to help these countries, but must remain abstract. Climate change and general quality of life improvement locally are the causes of neoliberalism. Quality of life improvement can also be stated as an imperative to second-tier countries to keep them subservient to the first-tier countries, who in turn provide the second-tier countries with a larger economy to suckle at.

The goal of Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony is to maintain the two-tier system, prioritizing the desires of the fist-tier countries, while keeping the second-tier countries as subservient as possible.

This is fundamentally undemocratic. The real nature of democracy is not to perpetuate democracy itself, but rather to uphold the two-tier economic and political system. This is to say it is not about individual rights as such, nor about the public opinion being represented in democracy, but rather using individual rights and public opinion to continue Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony.

Why do countries perpetuate Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony than pursuing Absolute Equality? Especially considering all officially pursue equality while none pursue it via their process, this is a fundamental question to understand the modern world.

It is the Democracy Paradox. It is of the interest of second-tier countries to extract as much as possible out of first-tier countries, even going so far as to officially call for the death of the native population of first-tier countries. For first-tier countries, it is never in their interest to officially call for the death of those in second-tier countries. Nonetheless, first-tier countries are of course more efficient at delivering death to second-tier countries, and not the other way around. This is what makes a first-tier country a first-tier country.

Ukraine and Russia are both fighting to be first-tier countries and the situation is ambiguous. Russia is a first-tier country to its satellite states, but not to the west. Ukraine is of the first-tier countries, but second-tier to its funders.

The main quality of a first-tier state is that its neoliberal economy provides an economy to a second vassal state, which relies on the first-tier state. In this case, Ukraine is clearly a second-tier state, while Russia is a first-tier state.

Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony should involve the economic powers to be in alliance with each other in order to organize the second-tier states as second tier states. This however becomes impossible when Real Politik is consulted, and first-tier states become absolutely dirempted from each other, which is to say split into two entirely different worlds officially. Unofficially however, Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony can work by maintaining alliances between first-tier nations and their second-tier vassal states.

Multiple Orders Within Neoliberalism

The first-tier states do not need to be allied with each other to maintain Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony. Rather, they need to be self-sufficient within their own first and second-tier system.

This means NATO states, Russian States, Islamic States, and China can all coexist.

What else could be the official policy of Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony than “Coexist”? The fine print is, “coexist as separate systems of first and second-tier states.”

From the perspective of Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony, the war between Ukraine and Russia is a distraction that should end quickly in order to maintain each respective first and second-tier systems.

The war in Ukraine does have a function of further emphasizing the split between the NATO system and the Russian system. Russia clearly needs its own system at this point, which is what BRICS promises to provide, but in reality, Russia will need to deliver for itself. Russia too has a role to play in Absolute Neoliberal Hegemony, despite being officially the antithesis of it.
