As history pursues its course of conflict, Kapitalismo-sozjietie reinforces its class structure ideologically. The effect of distortion upon the monocular and singular reality produces a fragmentation of reality, Walled City1, a representation of its own ideology.
The spectacle of mediation advances the intensification of the fundamental interconnection between the monocular-singular mediation of reality on the one hand and the fragmented mediation of reality on the other. The image of Kapitalismo-sozjietie is constantly reshaping the ideology of Kapitalismo-sozjietie through the {representations} of its own 'social' identity, virtually, an economy that produces a proliferation of virtual reality, Walled City, a proliferation via a system of autonomization, a concrete ideology of duality.
Walled City can be viewed as “a kind of subversive antinetwork.”2 Walled City “exists outside the influence of law and corporate capital.”3 The domain of the virtual is a veil, a secret point of origin for the legends and myths, developed to a point of heritage, a veil for nodal end-user hackers who are “the denizens of Walled City ... very proud of their {transgressions}.”4
Hacktivists, White Hats and Elite hackers, all of them cybernetic and sociocratic, make up fragmentation of the real that opposes the monocular-singular reality of Kapitalismo-sozjietie's authority, a check and a balance upon its ultimate supremacy, by operating as “{i}ntelligence agencies and cyberwarfare operatives” of their own totality.5 The centralization of networked technology is the root point, the checkpoint, or gate, through which the sign of the commodity, the Logos of Kapitalismo-sozjietie, travels, is reconfigured, manipulated and redistributed to its destination points of multiplicitous localities; whole at the centre, monocular and singular, whilst also pixelated by the plethora of each nodal end-user. The 'pixelation' of Kapitalismo-sozjietie's own overall image is its own operation of subversion, the digital cognition of its own imagination, understanding its direct object, in flux, through direct communication with its multiplicitous subject.
Kapitalismo-sozjietie's order is able to remain monocular and singular through its radical flux of signs, these pixels making up its motion picture; it gives it a narrative that can at once be conceptual as either statist or political or simultaneously an affront to both of these. Kapitalismo-sozjietie is its own critique, it is its own dialectic. Its continued existence is not threatened by any community of hacker elites, rather, it interprets their codes and messages, without enmity, to relay a collection of signals, to form an overall signal, a signal that is tactical, to learn the function of the part of it, its nervous system, that is digital.
Citizen Smith found out that towards the end of the 1970s, Kapital was seeking to employ computer operators to learn its new procedures.
