Feminist and gender theories, originating from the dominant intellectual circles of English-speaking academic institutions, play a significant role in shaping a societal framework that leads to transhumanism. In this complex interplay, progressive ideologies are instrumental in convincing a wide audience, regardless of their familiarity or interest, that their ideas are revolutionary and transformative. Today, the intellectual elite aligned with progressive ideals is actively promoting these theories and the advancement of transhumanist concepts, particularly thriving in the developed regions of the world. At its essence, this movement aims to create not just a superficial, but a fundamentally altered human being. This aspiration lies at the heart of their pursuit.
The conundrum of human progress is deeply entwined within the complex intersection of gender and feminism. How does this dilemma manifest? It emerges from a profound paradox: the dominant class sees a need to decrease the population on a planet where humans are increasingly marginalized from the very mechanisms of production. The Marxist notion of the "industrial reserve army" now encompasses a broader spectrum, including not only industrial workers but also living beings that the current system cannot sustain, given capitalism's shift away from traditional manufacturing imperatives.
We are witnessing an escalating conflict between the masses of impoverished individuals, who lack access to the latest technological advancements emblematic of capitalist consumption, and the shrinking job market that cannot even accommodate the most economically disadvantaged workforce. The expansion of agribusiness serves as a stark illustration of this issue, leading to a growing population of exploited workers in isolated economies, notably in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. To legitimize this evolving situation, the system itself has groomed a select group of intellectuals within its superstructure. These individuals subtly advocate for and justify a clandestine agenda aimed at reducing organic human life.
This process has been unfolding since at least the 1970s, if not earlier. It is crucial, in our analysis, to draw connections between the works of the Club of Rome, as seen in Meadows and Randers' influential publication The Limits to Growth, and gender theories. Texts like Kate Millet's Sexual Politics, which predates the aforementioned works by two years, along with the lesbianist philosophies of Monique Wittig and Shulamith Firestone, all contribute to this interplay. Notably, Donna Haraway emerges as a central figure, bridging feminism and transhumanism through her concept of the cyborg.
Gender theories, spanning from critiques of traditional motherhood by thinkers like Simone de Beauvoir to movements such as political lesbianism and cyborg feminism, play a crucial role in the emerging transhumanist landscape. These theories find support within the progressive or cultural left, where there is a noticeable lack of opposition to measures like contraception, abortion, LGBT rights advocacy, anti-materialism, and euthanasia—policies aimed at limiting human biological reproduction. Even scholars like Haraway and Braidotti advocate for socialist or neo-communitarian utopias, displaying a sense of idealism and irrationality that might concern informed individuals familiar with global politics. They may fail to grasp that these idealistic visions represent the avant-garde of a new societal order, or perhaps they comprehend it all too well.
Moving beyond these utopian aspirations, even prominent figures within left-wing progressive circles, such as Toni Negri, have highlighted the potential revolutionary power of the masses, albeit with limited arguments against the fragmented nature of existing power structures. Attempts to form political coalitions with shared aims of true empowerment often face resistance due to the emphasis on "diversity" within these groups. This resistance becomes apparent in the rejection of arguments against abortion and, surprisingly, in the dismissal of village priests addressing women's struggles in underserved communities. The politics of diversity effectively undermine such unity.
In the realm of biology, a domain sometimes overlooked by segments of the cultural left, it is essential to recognize the intricate organic complexity of the human species. As Miguel Benasayag notes, this complexity poses a challenge to the eugenic ambitions of global elites. Instances of diseases and abnormalities arising from industrialized societies can be seen as the species resisting manipulation of its reproductive essence. In his work The Birth of Human Mammals, Michel Odent contrasts the behavior of human mothers with that of chimpanzees during childbirth. Unlike chimpanzees, human mothers possess a neurobiological capacity to anticipate their future emotions and sensations, enabling them to resist certain medical interventions like cesarean sections or local anesthesia. This ability to anticipate and prepare for the future stands as a key aspect of our humanity, guarding against a fate akin to that of chimpanzees. This anticipation of a future as a transhuman species, rejecting any form of transcendence in our reproductive connections expressed through love, serves as a fundamental goal underlying contemporary cultural and political endeavors.
The global elite has a deep understanding of how actions in the realm of cultural power can impact biology. They utilize techniques as the material basis for global eugenics, implementing complex procedures on organic matter to establish new legal systems that legitimize social fragmentation. Laws like the Spanish Integral Law for Gender Violence eliminate the presumption of innocence for males. Our limited grasp of biology, strategy, and geopolitics hinders our ability to see how these elements fit into a broader plan for a new ultra-totalitarian regime. This regime would be built on neoliberal capitalism, now extended to include the commodification of the human species itself, with a transhuman cyborg as its anthropological foundation—a detached hybrid lacking transcendental connections, minimal reproductive capacity, and driven by technology-mediated cognitive and behavioral systems.
Their task is daunting: to create a new form of legitimacy disguised as "progressive" that effectively controls the majority of the population without their awareness. In a society enamored with technology, culturally progressive discourses hold sway. Even political parties with conservative leanings, like the PRO, incorporate these issues into their agendas to bolster their political standing. This dynamic contrasts with the saturation of progressivism in American society, which contributed to the rise of figures like Donald Trump. These strategies also influence the middle classes.
In contrast to the openness on gender and abortion from Western cultural hubs, the Conservative stance emerges as a mirror image of globalism. Televangelists, akin to New Age leaders, and conservative politicians linked to traditional powers oppose gender politics but inadvertently propagate indoctrination from the same platforms. While the media largely supports the progressive narrative in eugenics, it overlooks events like "Pro-Life" marches, drawing over 2 million participants, including people from outside urban centers vehemently against contraception and abortion, driven by deep religious beliefs.
We caution against the epistemological colonialism of local intellectuals who overlook the organic warnings of our species and fail to connect issues like cancer, malformation, gender politics, and eugenic agendas. The parallels between the "green revolution," food transgenesis, industrialization, and human transgenesis, where gender politics play a significant role, must be taken seriously. Political campaigns often neglect crucial national and continental matters like the productive model, rural depopulation, illegitimate debt, extractivism, and political and territorial sovereignty. The focus on individual causes and self-perception over societal needs for nutrition, health, and education has dominated media and political discourse, hindering discussions on vital issues. It is essential to prioritize decolonizing politics and the social body over individual purification efforts. How long will it take for "progressives" to realize this? The national tragedy is likely to persist, regardless of electoral outcomes.
