CAPITALISM’S NEW WORLD ORDER: “THE REPUBLIC OF TECHNO-FASCISM” – BİRGÜL GÖKER PERDİSA

 

When someone mentions the word manifesto, the first thing that comes to my mind is the „Communist Manifesto“, co-authored by the revolutionary German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This approximately 100-page pocket-sized book, written by the two brilliant philosophers in 1848, influenced the ideas of generations born in the 20th century and guided their struggles to build a better, more equal, and more beautiful world.

Exactly 178 years have passed since then… In this 21st century, where we have reached superhuman levels of Artificial Intelligence in technology, but where ideas are stuck in medieval blindness, I honestly wasn’t expecting a groundbreaking manifesto from philosophers. The philosophers and political scientists of our time are just as ignorant, inadequate, and fearful as our politicians… Don’t jump to object right away citing names. Exceptions do not break the rule.

But here it is, a manifesto was already written in April 2026, and since we’re in the age of advanced technology, it was published on Elon Musk’s X via Palantir’s corporate account: “We were often asked… The Technological Republic is, in short, the following: “Twenty-two manifesto-like articles taken from the book published by Alex Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska.”

Immediately following this introductory sentence, they laid out the articles one by one, explaining what kind of world they plan to build in the near future.

PALANTIR’S “REPUBLIC OF TECHNO-FASCISM”

Before we discuss the Republic of Techno-Fascism that Palantir, the artificial intelligence technology giant established by Mossad, the CIA, and Zionism in 2003, aims to establish worldwide within the framework of these 22 points, let’s take a closer look at Palantir.

Palantir is not just an usual software company. For years, it was not disclosed what this company, founded by shadowy forces, was actually doing. Then the curtain slowly lifted, and it emerged that they were conducting data analysis for the U.S. and Israeli militaries. However, Palantir is not just a company that collects data. It is a platform that understands and interprets data and recommends decisions… In short, when this company publishes a manifesto, it’s important to read it carefully. Because it’s not just an ordinary technology company, but the military software branch of the U.S. and Israel.

The company’s name is interesting, isn’t it?.. Actually, once we explain where its name comes from, all its origins, ideas, and references will become clear. You’ve probably heard of „The Lord of the Rings“. Well, that’s where the company’s name comes from. Anyone who’s read the book or watched the movie knows that the forces of evil possess “seeing stones” that allow them to see across great distances, into the past, and into the future. The name of these seeing stones is Palantir… The evil forces in The Lord of the Rings desire to subjugate the free peoples of Middle Earth, and to achieve this goal

they use these seeing stones called Palantir. So, the company’s name is a perfect fit: Palantir. The current goal of the company’s founders and the dark forces they align with is to use Palantir’s technological power to subjugate the world’s free peoples.

One of the company’s co-founders and major investors is Peter Thiel. Thiel was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1967. One of the founders of Facebook and the digital payment system PayPal. He later handed Facebook over to the Jewish Zionist Mark Zuckerberg. Peter Thiel is also a key figure in Donald Trump’s political rise… Palantir’s other partner and CEO, Alex Karp, was also born in 1967 to a Zionist Jewish family. Like Thiel, Karp is not an ordinary person. He is featured on the current “Time 100” list compiled by Time magazine, which highlights the world’s 100 most influential people.

Palantir’s political manifesto, which contains these 22 articles defending “techno-fascism,” is seen as a clear political expression of a new line of thought that Alex Karp and Peter Thiel have long advocated. This line of thought argues that Silicon Valley should no longer be merely a technology hub producing innovation, but rather an integral part of national defense and state power.

Karp and Thiel outlined their ideas in the book La Repubblica Tecnologica, published in 2025 (in Italy).
Although the book bears a title that references Plato’s „The Republic“, it presents a vision that shifts power away from politics and toward an AI based technological regime. The 22-point manifesto that summarizes the book actually presents this idea to the public in a more direct and political language.

THE TECHNOLOGY – SECURITY – STATE TRIANGLE IN THE MANIFESTO

The Palantir manifesto, which offers a more realistic reflection of the dystopia described by George Orwell in his novel 1984 when we look at what Israel is doing today in Gaza and the Middle East, can be interpreted as a “call for arms” that places the technology sector at the heart of the state.

The manifesto emphasizes that in the age of hybrid wars and asymmetric conflicts, high technology has become a strategic infrastructure. Nevertheless, the proposed solution is extremely dangerous: The transformation of the technology elite into a security elite, and the narrowing of spaces of freedom resulting from the fusion of artificial intelligence and security…

By linking technology to military logic, the goal is to shift toward obedience and control. As technological tools are integrated into state strategies, the line between defense and manipulation will also be erased. This will weaken democracy, eliminating debate and pluralism.

Political decisions will become dependent on the military-technology complex. As politics falls under the command of the technology-security alliance, democracy will effectively cease to exist.

Palantir’s 22 articles manifesto includes references to AI weapons, mandatory national service, and statements such as “some cultures are less advanced than others.” For example, it argues that “we are approaching the end of the nuclear age.” According to this view, deterrence will no longer be provided by nuclear weapons but by AI systems. It is said that “the issue is not whether artificial intelligence weapons will be built,

but who will build them and for what purpose.” It is noted that rivals are not wasting time on theatrical debates but are continuing to make progress.

The necessity of software-enabled “hard” power tools is emphasized: “The limits of soft power and fancy rhetoric have become apparent.” It is also noted that American power has ensured an exceptionally long period of peace.

The manifesto also delivers some quite concrete political messages at times: It includes the statement: “The postwar castration of Germany and Japan must be reversed.” It is argued that Europe, which remains militarily weak, has paid the price for Germany’s post-World War II disarmament. It is claimed that if “theatrical adherence to Japanese pacifism” continues, a shift in power could occur in Asia.

Palantir argues that, in the current narrative, discussing the track records of different “cultures” is “off-limits.” “Yet it must be discussed,” it says. It is also argued that America must resist the temptation of “hollow pluralism.”

The thesis frequently addresses the relationship between technology companies and the U.S. government. For example, one of the first thesis statements reads “Silicon Valley is morally indebted to the country that made its rise possible.” It must repay this debt.

Palantir advocates for thinking beyond the boundaries of app development and for a technology economy that generates growth and security. The company, which sells products to security agencies around the world, states, “Silicon Valley must play a role in combating violent crime.”

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WARS

The website states that Palantir provides software to governments and companies that supports real-time decision-making—“from factories to the front lines.”

Let’s return to Palantir’s 22 articles: The main message is hidden in article 12…

“The atomic age is coming to an end. The new era of deterrence will be built on artificial intelligence.” Article 15 states, “The postwar disarmament of Germany and Japan came at a high cost to Europe and Asia. These countries must regain their strength.”

When these two sentences are put together, the manifesto naturally takes on a different meaning. And we can see that these 22 articles have already been put into practice. Even before this manifesto was published, Germany and Japan had already taken major steps toward rearmament and strengthening their militaries.

Preparing for war… Article 4 states that soft power is no longer sufficient. Power in this century will be built on software. Article 5 states that artificial intelligence weapons will be developed. The question is, who will develop them… Our rivals will not hesitate. Article 6 states that mandatory military service must be brought back onto the agenda. There should be no war without everyone sharing the burden.

Article 16 states that those who act with a grand vision, like Elon Musk, should be applauded. But two articles on the list are special… 12 and 15… These two articles are not a thesis, but a declaration!

Why Germany and Japan? Germany is at the heart of Europe… NATO’s eastern front against Russia… But Germany’s military remains in the restricted structure of the post-1945 era…

Japan is at the heart of the Pacific… The U.S.’s eastern flank against China. But Japan’s constitution prevents it from using its military for overseas operations.

Palantir says that if these two countries remain militarily weak, the U.S. cannot hold its ground on two fronts alone. If Germany becomes stronger, the U.S. will not stand alone against Russia in Europe. If Japan becomes stronger, the U.S. will not stand alone against China in Asia this time. In other words, this is actually a proposal for burden-sharing. Allies must take responsibility for their own security. Allies must rearm. Against whom?

The manifesto doesn’t name any countries, but the clues are very clear.

Who are they referring to as “our rivals” in Article 5? Which power will shift the balance of power in Asia, as mentioned in Article 15? Who is the party that cannot be dealt with through soft power, as stated in Article 4? The answer is always the same: China and Russia.

What does the end of the atomic age mean? Article 12 declares the end of nuclear deterrence. The nuclear age began in 1945 with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What followed was an 80-year period of balance. The two superpowers established mutual deterrence against each other through nuclear weapons. This deterrence was not overcome, but it lost its function. Because the landscape of warfare has changed.

Atomic bombs were not decisive in recent operations. Venezuela’s collapse was managed not by an aircraft carrier, but by data. The Gulf’s defense systems demonstrated that classic deterrence has become obsolete. Palantir is now officially putting this on record. The side that excels in artificial intelligence will shape the security of the coming era.

Why was this released now? Palantir published its 22 articles the same week Trump sat down at the negotiating table with Iran. Palantir is saying: As the U.S.’s military software branch, we’re at the table. We’re ready to take on China. For this battle to be won, our allies must also rearm.

There’s something else going on behind the scenes. The new generation in the U.S. tech world does not subscribe to the old-school notion of “peaceful technology.” It leans to the right and is preparing for war.

Palantir’s 22 articles were not written at random. Each one was carefully crafted

And the sum of all these articles says one thing: A new era has begun. In this era, power will be measured by software. Whoever makes the first move will become the technology emperor of the coming century.

While Europe is turning toward rearmament, the key to the wars of the future now lies not in traditional armies, but in the laboratories of major technology companies. In particular, companies associated with Elon Musk and China’s military research centers are waging a new global power struggle through artificial intelligence and drone technologies. In this context, Palantir’s role stands out. The company’s artificial intelligence systems were used in target identification processes during both the recent tensions in Gaza and those with Iran. However, the key point to note is that Palantir is increasingly transforming from a private company into a massive technology powerhouse aiming to influence the U.S.’s political and military structure…

Palantir CEO Alexander Karp argues that energy supply chains (from countries such as Iran, Nigeria, and Venezuela) must be cut off to halt China’s rise. It also states that new weapons must be tested in real battlefields to understand their effectiveness. For this reason, the war against Iran also serves as a massive military technology experiment for the U.S.

Karp’s thinking is not limited to military strategy alone. In his view, the world is divided between “progressive” and “reactionary” civilizations, and the appeal of democratic values is no longer sufficient; the West (particularly the U.S.) must use hard power to maintain its supremacy. This approach brings with it a new understanding of technological imperialism.

Karp also considers the rearmament of Germany and Japan necessary so that they can wage proxy wars on behalf of the U.S. against Russia and China. The U.S.’s economic interests, meanwhile, will be strengthened by the deindustrialization of Europe and Japan and, in contrast, the reindustrialization of North America.

Karp refers to a speech given by the German philosopher Carl Schmitt in Barcelona in 1929. Schmitt argued that viewing the modern era as the “technical age” was a temporary phenomenon; what was truly decisive, he maintained, was a political power strong enough to control technology and the resulting distinction between friend – enemy

that would emerge on this basis. Karp notes that these words foreshadow a political transformation that is taking place today. According to Schmitt, technology is never truly neutral; it is always a tool and a weapon. For this reason, it is emphasized that liberal thinking, which believes that technological progress will replace ideologies and shift society

onto a “neutral” ground, is an illusion.

It appears that this Schmittian perspective has been adopted by the rising right-wing high-tech oligarchy in the United States today. According to these circles, the path to political power lies in the fusion of technology and power. The rise of Donald Trump and the movement supporting him has reinforced the belief that this fusion is now possible.

Ultimately, it is clear just how dangerous Palantir’s manifesto, which advocates for techno-fascism, truly is… Looking at global developments, we also see that the 22 articles in this manifesto have already been put into practice. However, the executives at Palantir, who are big fans of The Lord of the Rings, likely never watched the movie all the way through and failed to demonstrate the ability to read the book in its entirety. Otherwise, they would have remembered that in the movie, Palantir was destroyed by peoples who, through great solidarity, won their struggle for freedom, and they would have thought twice before writing

and publishing those 22 articles. It’s not that easy! Let’s remind these techno-fascist gentlemen of that.

The Palantir Manifesto / Summary of the 22 Articles

  1. Silicon Valley has a moral debt to the United States. Tech giants should give back to the government in the area of national security, as it was the government that made their rise possible.
  2. “Hollow pluralism” weakens the West. According to Karp, cultural pluralism has turned into a concept of diversity that does not generate value.
  3. The West’s cultural superiority must be preserved. It is claimed that some cultures are progressive, while others are “reactionary.”
  4. Free apps and everyday technology are not enough Silicon Valley’s focus should be on national defense.
  5. The era of soft power is coming to an end. Military power and technology-based “hard power” will now be the decisive factors.
  6. The power of the 21st century will be built on software. Artificial intelligence is the foundation of new military superiority.
  7. The nuclear age is coming to an end. It will be replaced by AI-based deterrence.
  8. AI weapons are inevitable. The question is not “will they be developed?” but “who will develop them and for what purpose?”
  9. The U.S. must lead in AI weaponization. It is argued that rivals (especially China) must be left behind.
  10. Technology companies must be an integral part of national security. The boundary between civilian and military technology must be eliminated.
  11. Mandatory national service should be reconsidered. It is argued that society must share the risks and costs of war.
  12. The military should not consist solely of volunteers. Karp advocates for a broad-based national service model.
  13. The postwar “demilitarization” of Germany and Japan was a mistake.
  14. The militarization of allies is essential for the West’s security.
  15. Government officials should be viewed as “public priests”. Karp attributes an almost sacred role to public service.
  16. Religion should play a greater role in public life.
  17. The technology elite must also be the security elite. In other words, Silicon Valley must be placed at the center of defense strategy.
  18. Debates and ethical concerns are “distractions.” It is argued that the West must not waste time while its rivals are rapidly arming themselves.
  19. State-technology integration is inevitable. This is the point critics refer to as “techno-fascism”.
  20. Economic growth and security are the foundation of the West’s legitimacy.
  21. Technology companies must be guided in accordance with national interests.
  22. The West’s future depend on AI based military superiority?
