ABSTRACT Title: The Pole of Power (Part IV) Author: Claudiu Iordache ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE, No. 108, 8/2026 (excerpt from the volume Polul de Putere, IRINI Publishing House, 2002) Synopsis and Themes The essay analyzes the deep mechanisms of political and social power, viewing it not merely as a structure of domination, but as an autocratic "monster" and a fundamental source of existential nonsense. The author highlights the shift from old class conflicts to a revolt of dispossessed nations and masses against predatory globalization. Key Ideas - The Revolution of the Future: Massive migration from impoverished populations is interpreted as a form of retaliation against global inequalities and the unyielding privileges of the developed world. - Critique of Globalization and the American Model: Drawing on thinkers such as Riccardo Petrella, Octavian Paler, and René Guénon, the text warns against the danger of cultural uniformity, arid consumerism, and the loss of humanity's profound restlessness for being. = Original Violence and the Structure of Power: The author explores the connection between violence, libido, power dynamics, and birth (invoking Françoise Dolto), emphasizing that power is always an excess exercised over a deficit of autonomy. - The Decay of Despotism: The essay concludes with a powerful literary metaphor inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s The Autumn of the Patriarch, illustrating the absolute loneliness, degradation, and moral void into which the pole of power ultimately collapses.
