GO HOME, OCCUPY MOVEMENT!! (THE MCFB – WAS IST DAS?)
ANIS H. BAJREKTAREVICABSTRACT. Revisiting Weber’s theory and rethinking the writings of the US sociologist George Ritzer, author elaborates on a well-known argument of “defensive modernization” of Fukuyama, by claiming that throughout the entire human history a technological drive was aimed to satisfy the security (and control) objective; and that it was rarely (if at all) driven by a desire to ease human existence or to enhance human emancipation and liberation of societies at large. Author concludes that unless operationalized by the system, both intellectualism (human autonomy, mastery and purpose), and technological breakthroughs were traditionally felt and treated as a threat. pp. 26–33.
