The history of modernity breaks with evolution. It erases the origin of western modernity. In abstract and theoretical terms, the way the winners of the day (England, France, USA) make history a secret, through markets and prisons, is complemented by the modern fad of erasing the past, as the empire created by the Order of Christ did first. The idea of the Middle Ages as a dark age leaves no doubt about the intention to obscure the historical period immediately prior to modernity. The message is simple: the empire is inescapable and unbeatable except for a grave passing human folly. If you think about what the empire has done, you can easily understand that it is not the empowerment of people, markets, states, societies, but it's the opposite. It is an addictive way of extracting the vital energies of Earth and humanity, industrially interpreted by capitalism.
