Book excerpt: Given that everything in the world is relative, contemporary societal organization is based on social absolutes that are considered self-evident. This type of system invariably introduces central polarization into society, leading to class divisions, with transitions between the classes becoming increasingly difficult as polarization intensifies. Throughout human history, various forms of centrally polarized societies have been established, referred to by different names in different eras, such as slavery, feudalism, capitalism, or socialism. However, these societies can only endure as long as transitions between their social strata remain possible. Once these transitions become unattainable, the society inevitably crumbles. The escalating central polarization of society and its subsequent division become impediments to progress and development and can only be overcome through decentralization. Historically, transitions from one societal structure to another have resulted in a temporary decentralization of society. Nevertheless, the new societal structure invariably deteriorated due to the emergence of fresh central polarization, albeit founded on different polarization criteria. This book offers a deep exploration of the phenomena of relativity, complexity, and complexification, proposing a new approach to the critical analysis of capitalism as a societal structure. It elaborates on the foundational principles of distributed society as the only sustainable alternative to centrally polarized society.
