Thanks roachboy, I like that analysis.
How's this?
In america, today, the long-term tendency politically is toward authoritarian forms of rule. I base this argument on an analysis of how I see subjectivities shaped by--say--consumer culture and contemporary capitalism (the prompts to reflexive thought are systematically redirected to thought about the world as reflected in objects one accumulates...).
I observe this and I would propose that we are doing spectacularly in promulgating the illusion of freedom among our relatively well-controlled population.
As a side note, I'd be careful calling certain terms "fictions" while espousing other equally fictitious terms and concepts. As I've stated, my positions on reified conceptualizations, historical paradigms, and language are that they are all quite poor in their ability to refer to actual cicumstances as lived, experienced, and acted upon.
