It is the West that is going commie and integral and collective and tribal. We have gone much further in that direction than, say, the East. The East however, has never had this visual culture, this detribalizing force until now. They’re getting westernized, their first touch of this visualizing, disintegrative power now, so communism appeals to Easterners as a form of Western civilization, as an advanced visual culture—industrialization— which is utterly disintegrating and visual.
