Keen Versus Wisdomics: Repressive/Static-Dual As Opposed To Integrative/Process-Trinitarian Dialectics

In Steve Keen’s recent videos he uses dialectics to explain the expression of ideas in capitalist society. This is unfortunately an accurate insight yet neglects/forgets two things: It is the the repressive expression of the dialectic in both capitalism and socialism and so it fails the test of integration/integrative thinking which always contains a thirdness/oneness and also includes the highest ethical considerations of the two sides being integrated. Hence it falls back into dualism, inevitable conflict, little or no actual resolution, progress, evolution, wisdom or ascension.  One of Keen’s weaknesses is he theorizes only in terms of the static dualism of capitalism versus socialism when the integrative, wise, ethical and process characterized by continuous change expression of the dialectic should result in an actually new thirdness. This would be expressed thusly:

[ (capitalism/thesis x socialism/antithesis)  <–>  profit making monetary distributism/synthesis ]
