Pablo Moses’s Acid Reign

RASTA IDEOLOGY has always been profoundly Spenglerian. The German philosopher’s contention that our parasitic, capital-based machine age will be defeated by "another power, not by a principle," certainly echoes Rasta belief. What Oswald Spengler called "Caesarism" could well be construed as Rastafari, and the conflict he foresaw between blood and money, where "the master-will subdues again the plunderer-will," is certainly on the agenda of the Rasta Armageddon.
