The law provides for extensive spending on racist persecution. Over $170 billion alone will go toward building the border wall with Mexico and improving surveillance technology at the borders.

Capitalism as a death cult animated by the fetishism of capital, as a secular religion demanding human sacrifice, comes into its own here. Through suffering, through sacrifice—preferably of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society—Germany is to regain the favor of capital in its contradiction-driven momentum as an automatic subject....

The conditions call for such a transformation....
