Free Worlds Falling Under Rising Tides of Tyranny
In the Shadow of Decline and Collapse: Part 3 explores the current state of democracy and capitalism by examining the ramifications of engineered economic policies, state-led invasion, privatization, and the imposition of economy-crippling World Bank loans upon free states. Capitalism has provided the means for increasing wealth stratification between the super rich and the poor, exacerbating suffering and poverty. The adoption of neoliberal policies has further diminished democracy, preventing upward social mobility for the many while increasing the capacity to attain ever more wealth for the rich. Part 3 interrogates these political and economic systems so versed in narratives articulating freedom with access to capital. This article also critiques the ever-increasing adoption of clandestine functions which limit these very tenets so fundamental to democracy and freedom.
In the Shadow of Decline and Collapse: Part 3 is illustrated with Stars Explode series 3 drawings made over August and September 2022.
