Obama's great achievement was to cannily assigns inescapable destinies to individuals in line with their capacity to be competitive and profitable while at the same time paying lip service to universal progress, equality and liberty as he trousered millions. He failed to anticipate that all human societies would one day be organised around the bleak project of competitive self-aggrandisement, and that all those trying to catch up with the modern West would reproduce the dialectic of bourgeois ‘miserliness’ and plebeian ‘envy’ and the grim synthesis of ethnic-racial nationalism.
In his political messianism he failed to understand the whole clearly, you must know what relation every history can have to others.’ Only when such connected and wide-angled histories were available, might one hope to ‘see all the order of time’.
Obama was blinded by an intellectual parochialism unable to properly understand or diagnose the suffering caused by globalising capitalists, let alone a quasi-scientific plan of salvation. He relied in that educated way on ‘Logical truth,’ however that is not the same as the truth of history
Under Obama for the 'deplorables' redemption in the form of emancipation, proved to be insolvent.
And as history has demonstrated a demagogue would routinely emerge to offer the exhausted and cheated masses the opiate of nationalism, rather than the forced feeding of
Globalism.
What Obama as did other Western leaders advocate the self-aggrandising bourgeois, who with his equivocating ideology of liberalism coerce and seduce the rest of the world into joining his pursuit of economic self-interest. Witness his trying to influence the referendum on Brexit in the UK, 'if you vote to leave you guys will be at the back of the trade queue.' Such arrogance, talk about interfering in Elections
with threats.
