How exactly is might not all there is to politics? How is force not to politics what numbers are to mathematics, and atoms are to chemistry?
I've read das kapial, machiavelis prince, nick land and his weird shit, various manifestos, talmud, bible, quran, hitler speeches, leviathan, zizek, esoteric hitlerism and atlantis type conspiracy stuff, social ecology, scientific socialism by engels, dialectics, materialism, stirner's ghosts, lenin's vanguard, hoover institute porky propaganda, ayn rand, blah blah blah blah…
It took some time but it was enjoyable enough, and the ONLY thing I got out of all these things is that force is literally all there is to things.
Let's talk about legal philosophy: crime and punishment, wrong and right, sentences and all that. From reading judicial texts, you get that the only crime is getting caught. That's it. Murder isnt, theft isnt, because some of them get away. Hell, innocence itself doesnt matter, because innocent people also end up in jail. The only crime, or the only thing that all sentenced people have in common, is getting caught.
Let's talk morality: hungry enough people eat other people. Happens all the time under certain circumstances, animals do it too, human parents if they are young enough and think can have more kids later sometimes eat their own children, some animals eat their own children as a strategy of denying nutrients and escaping the predator. So that is enough about morality I guess. Whatever works is correct.
Economy? Doesnt matter if you use laissez faire market or central planned economy, you cant feed a thousand people with one bread, and also if you have 7 trillion kilotons of bread it doesnt matter what economic policy is. Whatever gets you the resources is the correct economy.
Military? Might is right is the foundation of all military strategies, absolute destruction of the enemy is what the first fundamental theorem of all military strategy always is, and military matters of strategic, operational and tactical level are all about achieving advantage over your enemy.
So if accumulating capital and exploitation gets you through the lifetime comfortably, and comfy life is what you want, you SHOULD do it. If the glory of your 'tribe' (look up group survival and genetics, explains why some people have the urge to uplift 'the team') is so important to you, and if imperialism helps you build the biggest statue, that is what you should do.
The list goes on about various different things but the main principle is the same for the entire list.
Basically my conclusion of all the reading I did so far, is that I should start studying applied mathematics (hard science) from now on instead, build mathematical models, calculate things, figure things out, and then put the plan in action (engineering). Knowledge and intellectualisms that are not empirical, or do not contribute to my calculations of accumulating power/force/might, and also do not contribute to my application of them, are worthless.
