>So the text has an exoteric and esoteric meaning. Legalism on the other hand brings the esoteric out into the open, which also brings conflict out into space in the form of war.
Yes.

>this does not mean they are self-evident or axiomatic, but rather that there are arguments (and conflicts) that remains unstated
Yes.

>It is essentially diplomacy where the mastery of diplomatic art reaches a point that the presence of conflict disappears such that it doesn't look like diplomacy at all.
Wu-wei magic ftw.

Pic rel?

If you haven't looked into Tiqqun you might.

>In the logic of Capital, the development of the piloting function, of “control,” corresponds to the subordination of the sphere of accumulation to the sphere of circulation. For the critique of political economy, circulation should be no less suspect than production, in effect. It is, as Marx knew, but a particular case of production as considered in general. The socialization of the economy — that is, the interdependence between capitalists and the other members of the social body, the “human community” — the enlargement of Capital’s human base, makes the extraction of surplus value which is at the source of profit no longer centered around the relations of exploitation instituted by the wage system. Valorization’s center of gravity has now moved over to the sphere of circulation. In spite of its inability to reinforce the conditions of exploitation, which would bring about a crisis of consumption, capitalist accumulation can still nevertheless survive on the condition that the production-consumption cycle is accelerated, that is, on the condition that the production process accelerates as much as commodity circulation does. What has been lost to the economy on the static level can be compensated on the dynamic level. The logic of flows is to dominate the logic of the finished product. Speed is now tak- ing primacy over quantity, as a factor in wealth. The hidden face of the maintenance of accumulation is the acceleration of circulation. The function of the control devices is thus to maximize the volume of commodity flows by minimizing the events, obstacles, and accidents that would slow them down. Cybernetic capitalism tends to abolish time itself, to maximize fluid circulation to the maximum: the speed of light. Such is already the case for certain financial transactions. The categories of “real time,” of “just in time,” show clearly this hatred of duration. For this very reason, time is our ally.

"Time is our ally." Hnng.

Heidegger and China and Being are like the Yin to the Accelerationist Yang. As social cybernetics planetarizes the world under capital all roads pass through the meme. I think we need Harmony. And maybe some kung-fu to destroy bandits. I skew towards Empire and not so much anarchy.
