Theoryof Social Relativity

The Man also spent time thinking about the human condition. Here is an essay called Why Socialism Albert Einstein wrote in 1949

"most of the major states of history owed their existence to conquest. The conquering peoples established themselves,legally and economically, as the priveledged class of the conquered country. They siezed for themselves a monopoly of the land ownership and appointed a priesthood from among their own ranks. The priests,in control of education, made the class divisions of society into a permanent institution and created a system of values by which the people were thenceforth, to a large extent unconsciously, guided in their social behavior.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such a country the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee livelihood to every man, woman and child."

The "unconscious system of values" aspect of this takes new forms as capitalism becomes more advanced. Adorno located this mechanism within ideology.
"As naturally as the ruled always took the morality imposed upon them more seriously than their rulers themselves, the decieved masses are today captivated by the myth of success even more than the successful are. Immovably they insist on the very ideology which enslaves them."
Fuerbach condidered it an "age which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, appearance to essence..."

In it's truly modern form, accumulation morphs into that "integral,molecular,invisible control" which Debord called the spectacle. Described in this way, "the spectacle is the stage at which the commodity has succeeded in TOTALLY colonizing social life. The fetishism of the commodity attains it's ultimate fulfillment in the spectacle, where the real world is replaced by a selection of images which are projected above it ,yet which at the same time succeed in making themselves regarded as the epitome of reality".

The purple finger crowd over at NEO-NEOCON so desperatly wants to believe the dominant narrative, to believe IN the dominant narrative, you almost hate to disturb their state of heroic bliss, their clarity. No one really wants to look behind the curtain. So much simpler to see "blame America firsters" and "liberal media".
