 The End of the Last Empire
The European Empire and its Psychology.

                                It is unusaual to be aware of a major major change in ourlives and and have the ability to notice, think, understand most of it and aloso have peers who would be going Thrrough the same events but with  different perspectives.

            This introduction is meant to underline the psychoanalytic way of thinking that could contribute to other fields of knowled like the social and the political fields. The present political scene in the world does not make sense, It has the features of social morbidity that resembles the morbidity of the psychoneurotic symptoms of individuals.  However, I need to clarify that I do not think of social cahoes as pervasive social psychopathology. I only mean that the componets of social chaos are structured as the componets of a psychoneurisis are structured in individuals.

         At the preseant time we are at a point where and when the last empire in the history of mankind has all the features of a dying civilizzation, represented in the so called the European Empire ,which  started six centuries ago and began its decay a couple of hundred years ago with endless internal conflicts, and two atomic bombs of which one was unnecessary to use (The Nagasaki bomb). There is also an active current of reversed immigration from the previously colonozed parts of the worldwas; although relatively smal is small in volum it says that 'the world is no longer divided into master\slave, white\black, poor\rich etc. One of the most perceptive books of late entitled: The World is Flate (By: Thomas Friedman) shows how tecnology has eliminated the geographic barrires that made Europe the home of the masters of the rest of humanty. 

        Flattening the world is not fully done yet, and the Ukraine War attests to a foolishly stubborn Europeans that still holds on to its old sense of superiority. It is still unable to accept old-despised Russia and China as equals (the mighty enfant who does not know that he is not the only one who owns his mother). That mass self-deception could only be achieved by mass projection, becaus as the enfant 'thinks' he owns his mother he does that within the projection of need and not of perception and conception, Projection to the chlid is perception to adults, and it is also so to the self-decieving person. The USA projects on Russian rulers all what it did to the natives the slaves and theVietnamese, for instance. USA  dumping all the bad of communism on leaders like Stalin and Putin. Few as years ago China was the savage barbarian uncivilized country that its leaders were dicatating its policy on the people of Hong- Kong. This was a distraction from the USA manipulation of 'free' elections in South America, to even assassinating the elected president of Chile and replacing him with a military general. Better though to say that we can use our psychoanalyitiec way of thinkin in analysing social phenomena but not assume that the oucome is the same if by force experience we could talk about the society as whoel as if it is one individual

What is the psychodynamics of projection in its social form?

             The European countries who ruled, exploited, and exhausted their potentials beyond the limits of existence(like the Greek, Roman, Babylonian, Inka, people) did before- are now showing all the signs of a dying empire. It started with the end of the second world war and the emancipation of Africa, South America, Southeast Asia some smaller change in the Caribian islands. But the most demonstrative of all those changes is the migrations of people of the old empire to the source countries of that empire. Even in its small margins the phenomena says that 'the world is no longer divided into master\slave, white\black, poor\rich etc. One of the most perceptive books of late is entitled: The World is Flate (By: Thomas Friedman). Flattening the world is not fully done yet, and the Ukraine War attests to a foolishly stubborn Europe that holds on its old fictitious sense of superiority. That has proven to "always" be achieved by choosing an old adversary who was inferiot and has become an equal to still treat as a failure in progressing and catching up with civility. In our case Russia is the barbarian, savage, backward, dictatorship, and Putin is the devil incarnate. Although, all evidence shows that Russia now adays is advances and civilised like the best westerner country  including the USA. 

        Psychoanaldysts have a great deal to say about some of those social phenomena because, although they are not psychopatholgies they contribute to mass self deceptions that create morbid psychlogical fantacies to the public. The notions and dishonest presenation of the political an military situation in the Ukraine created serious sitautions in the USA and the rest of Europ that seem unrelated but after a second thout one couls see or at least sens the raelationship ship of those events. d social facts. Why there is  now (since the war in the Ukraine) so many more mass  shooting in the USA, an unsetled  Monarchy in England, sudden anxieties about safty in Finland, Sweeden, and unrest in the the part of the European Union that is formed from the eastern European countries.n reagrsd to internal inequalitied,etc. Why suddenly the old suspitions about Communist Russia and the lack of 'our democracy'in it are now as high though it is not a communist country anymore and is not less democratic than countries like Turkia, Italy, and the Balkan countries! The basic foundation of all this is the lack of psychoanalytic analytic attention to the sociopolitical events and changes.

            At the onset of the Ukranian War I publishe few postings about how the old animosities between East Europe and its West will affect the attutdes of the media centers. I can brag and say that they must have read my blog: evrything good was West and everything East was bad. Even Russia did not disroy Kiev it was depeicted as military failure. Russians lost tens of thousandsant the Ukranian resisitance lost few wounded. I am familier with all that from th media's reporting about the Six-day war between Egypt an Isreal in June 1967. Make lies and let people worry about the truth.

             Ignoring the truth as means of distroying it. The issue is ignoring that social and group psychology are the subject and object of development and evolution too (getting better in goodness and badness too). The trick is what psychoanalytic principles could guide the thinker in understanding social evolution. As a psychoanalyst I will consider group-hate, projection, negation, denial, changes in fixed repressed ideas or believes, expressing suppressed unconscious thought as thoughts of common knowledge, all that are the new wrap of social development and evolution. I will treat the current events that are proclaimed as old suppressed realities as manifestations of upcoming major social and political changes that we should expect to happen.

            It is astonishing, amazing, and appealing to see the degree of political ignorance of American Politician in regard to what is happening now in the world. It is appalling that the USA (330 millions people with a couple of hundred top world Universities) does not have thinkers  to educate the literates let alone the public and update their believes (prejudices). Thinkers are the psychoanalysts of societies.In the fifty years of living next to the USA in Canada I can identify three or maybe four recent thinker\political politicians ( R. Kennedy, Clinton, Obama and         . The so called american politician is still warning the public of a communist plot when the last communist country in the world was China (Sorry we have to be careful because North Korea is still communist).

The basic undeniable  fact is that everything we deal with in life is in a sate of change and evolution, as our own minds also change with it. Thus, resistance to change and stopping things from evolving  are illusions that we better go back to understand the present, instaed of analysing the present to predict and prepare for the future. Someone like me that has lived long remembers what happened between the east and the west, the socialists and the capitalists, Russia and the West, (Stalin\Putin) and (Eisenhauer\Lesinski) can see the backwardness in even the vocabulary of propaganda and anti propaganda. The main point is what will be a test to acknowledging social evolution and change (the neurotic resistance to  social  changes and the fixation on the past as better and has all the wisom we neeed. So, from food gathering to food manufacturing and from the temporary family of males and females to Empires that kept evolving for centuries (Greek, Mongol, Assarian, Babylonian, Roman.,etc.. ), we reached the end of the last in our history , the European civilization and European empire. The main issue in this subject is how we could analyse-to understand- what the present time is preparing for the future. Just a reminder: we analyse to prepare the patient to his future. 

Spingler was of the onion that civilizations along with their political structure move from east to  west. Even though if there are important details that could undermine this brilliant idea It at least the merit of telling us a lot about the Ukranian War and the obsessive compulsion hat of the dying Empire to Russia and China.  

All European countries are  amalgams of provinces England, France  large countries like Russia, China, Indea even the USA could and should be derstoof differentl





Psychoanaldysts have a great deal to say about some social phenomena because they shae

 psychodynamics       wore few posts  about the psychodynamics of group hate, projection, self deception, and how they will be the fabric and background of the way the Ukraine Issue will be understood and managed. I imagined how what would happen if the politicians do not open their eyes to see the danger of  the ideas introduced and promoted by just two uneducated European politicians (Ursula van der !! and the general manager of NATO: Ostenberg) . I did that because it was obvious that that small peaceful country had been foolishly and maliciously tricked into believing what those two pompous idiotic politicians were advocating... join the EU and Nato.  According to the rules of the European Union and Nato itself the Ukraine could not become member of those two organizations without the approval FIRST of the (24!!) current members. As matter of principle Those two politicians were calling for something that would take three years to happen. Those two persons -who are pathetic in their political awareness- thought the matter is Simply an issue of -again- OUR VALUES.

 whether material or non-material. All living things die, and anything material decays. So, as the signs of life in animals or plants wither and die, the material evidence of civilizations and empires also decay and vanish too.

That mass self-deception could only be achieved by mass projection. In the case of Russia, the USA projects (get rid of) its barbarian history with the natives, slavery, Vietnam, by dumping all the bad on Putin because he is managing a war and not malleable politician. In the case of Hong Kong crisis, few months ago, China was the savage barbarian, uncivilized, Un European, undemocratic villain as distraction from the USA manipulation of 'free' elections in South America, to even assassinating the elected president of Chile and replacing him with a military general.

This introduction is meant to pave the way for psychoanalysis to contribute to a political scene that does not make sense like psychoneurotic symptoms and conditions.



Development and evolution are the inevitable conditions of all matters of existence, whether material or no material. Anything living dies and anything material decays. So, as the signs of life in animals or plants wither and die, material evidence of civilizations and empires also decay and vanish too. We are at a point where and when the last empire in the history of mankind is dying: The European Empire.
