Letter to a Russian friend: New world order or a deaf garden gnome?

Dear friend,


to be honest,I don’t see the apocalypse coming,but on the other side a relativly dark age.Menkind will also survive it somehow, but in which form? And due to the competition of national states and capitalist accumulation and the ignorance about the population explosion,I don’t see any real sustainable solutions and way out.It ist not that all these politicans,capitalists ,generals or people are inherently bad or evil,even if some of them might have some morale flaws, but they mostly react to the world structure and world order as it exists today and I think a multipolar world order-which will come-will be even more complex and even harder to manage than the declining Pax Americana. All these decision-makers and people are too involved to react to the existing world order, which is more of a chaos and disorder, that they perceive any out-of-the-box thinking as an offensive against them. It is already difficult for the USA and Germany within NATO, EU, and different interests to fromulate a NATO 2030 strategy or EU foreign policy. The same, however, also with the SCO and BRICS in view of the diverging interests of Pakistan, China versus Quad India, etc. Not even the established politicians, generals and other involved persons know how to achieve the balancing act, while strategies and visions are demanded everywhere. without knowing how to do it. And that’s why there are no real people who think of other options, but rather conspiracy theorists, utopians and sometimes just idiots who are cited to denounce every alternative option.

A renewed Pax Americana onthe basis of Trump’s America First or Biden’s New Keynesian(global) Green deal, a multipolar world, a Pax Chinoise are seen at the moment as the only options, a world state seems to be out of question and not even a neo-globalism is thinkable, maybe a new multilaterialism at best. .But nobody questions the mantra and dogma of capitalist accumulation and economic growth, competition of great powers and great nation states or population explosion as basis for all these models.I wrote many articles,try to make a constructive proposal and solutions,but know that this are only limited reforms which can contain the worst outcome and that I’m also thinking more in terms of real politoc and inside the box.I’m not desperate as I know that I maybe will only live at best  the next 2 decades,but very pessimistic,even If my articles and proposal sound more optimistic.Sometimes I think it would be better to be a blind and deaf garden gnome than to care about all the world problems. But maybe we should start thinking again and something new. Maybe the garden gnomes and dwarfs of the world should unite!
