On Creatively Destructing
Konstantina Kalfa
Capitalism—as Marx has shown and Schumpeter reminded us—has always promoted creative destruction practices. What in fact helps capitalism survive is the constant renewal of its products, modes production, needs through own self-destructiveness. Capitalist a clearing out, maneuver, revaluation, presupposition for creation, all at once. It unification, embracing multiple seemingly incompatible activities whose common component mainly consists positivity: their ability to reverse, beautify products. Capitalism's destructiveness gains “literal meaning” real space—interestingly involving biological metaphors into analysis. then presents itself as regeneration, natural, organic condition, and—in purest manifestation—as life itself. At antipode capitalist destructions stands yet again destructive practice, negatively charged described by an allegoric, historic, frightening name:“vandalism.”
