The Prophetic Vision of Nietzsche Regarding Industrialization and Globalization

Friedrich Nietzsche, a 19th-century philosopher, foresaw with remarkable clarity the challenges posed by global industrialization: the standardization of individuals, economic dehumanization, and the rise of a global administration. His diagnosis remains strikingly relevant today. #Nietzsche #industrialization #globalization #philosophy #postMarxism Friedrich Nietzsche was not only a sharp…

I have received an LP that was printed in the Czech Republic, shipped to UK from where I ordered it to Germany.

And for this experience I had to pay additional €9.70 taxes and additional expenses.

To add insult to injury, I am living in one of the German state that is adjacent to the Czech Republic.

"Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice."

- Edward W. Said (Orientalism)

"The legal form of the sovereign nation-state and the concepts of contract and private property, as well as their many permutations, have spread across the world during centuries of European imperial dominance. They are neither weak nor manipulable at will. On the contrary, they form a ubiquitous and immensely powerful aspect of the way we are all ruled.

This legal infrastructure remains invulnerable to the standard critique of international law. It consists of many different kinds of law—international and domestic, private and public, formal and informal—that collaborate to reproduce the banal reality of an unjust world outside the spectacle of war and sovereign conflict. Consolidated in the context of state-building, commercial expansion and the ideologies of civilization, modernization and development, they do not form a logical system, nor are they the expression of a single plan. Yet since the 1980s, these laws have operated as largely taken-for-granted aspects of ‘global governance’, enabling powerful actors to make claims about legal rights, powers and privileges to which others have been expected to yield. Globalization has been an intensely legalistic affair. From the organization of government to the most technical rules of consumer protection, from claims of jurisdiction made by states against each other to the rights of identity, contract and property invoked by individuals and corporations, our social lives are framed and pervaded by law. Far from being an infinitely flexible façade, law governs the way we imagine our social relations, and thus defines the character of those relations. Nothing of importance can be accomplished without making claims about legal right, power and privilege."

New Left ReviewMartti Koskenniemi, The Laws That Rule Us, NLR 154, July–August 2025In an expansive response to Perry Anderson’s critique of international law in NLR 143, Martti Koskenniemi counterposes to headline rulings on crimes against humanity the opaque, pervasive network of techniques that constitutes the legal infrastructure of global capitalism, shaping our unequal world-social relations and how we imagine them.
