According to Marx and Engels, there is a type of alienation in which men, through deformation, distancing and disconnection by allowing their relationships to be maintained by elements outside of themselves, or by objectifying them, become enemies of man: they attribute to themselves a divine condition, which becomes superiority, in which they naturalize, or normalize, slavery, social inequality, injustice and death.
This superhuman being, transformed into a divine entity, is the quintessential supremacist who believes he enjoys a privileged position, such as being part of a special group, whether a chosen people, in order to dehumanize other men in the name of God and exercise social power as a form of control over another group, which is subjugated, enslaved, and even exterminated, just as the indigenous people were killed by the Spanish conquerors because they said they had no soul; they called them barbarians and their languages were barbaric.
In 2023, the extermination of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip intensified, although initially the attacks were said to be directed at Hamas, just as the global capitalist media dubbed the beginning of this conflict the “Israeli-Hamas conflict.” This was a way to cover up what was to come: the deaths of civilians, particularly children, who became the true military targets. They claim these perverse actions are commanded by God, but those behind the genocide and mass infanticide are the corporate elite.
Recently, a former US officer accused the Israeli military of burning children, noting that this contradicted the democratic values of the United States. I would add that it contradicts those of any nation; it is not only a violation of the right to life, but it is the most heinous war crime because of the way it is committed; ironically, comparable only to the Holocaust and the crimes of World War II.
The Marxist superman attributes to himself a divine condition in which he believes, however contradictory it may sound, that he has the "right" to take the life of a human being, to objectify him, to barbarize him, and to boast about it in the name of the god of religions, which is none other than the god of capital, war, and misery.
