In today's global order, the greatest threat facing states and societies is not only military interventions or political crises, but also a state of structural paralysis in which they are cut off from production, trapped in a spiral of debt and turned into mere consumers. The most naked truth that modern economic history has taught us is this: If you don't produce, you don't exist.
Ontology of Production
The Question of Existence and Nonexistence
Production is not just the output of goods from a factory; it is the will of a nation to “exist” in science, education and health. A society that is disconnected from production loses the ability to determine its own destiny. A university that cannot produce in science turns into a translation bureau that merely repeats the knowledge of others. A state that cannot produce technology and medicine in health leaves the lives of its citizens at the mercy of global capital. In this context, production is the only guarantee of a dignified life and sovereignty.
Spiral of Consumption and Techno-Feudalism
Today, the world has moved beyond classical capitalism into a phase of “techno-feudalism”. Giant technology platforms and global capital centers are turning societies disconnected from production into “digital serfs”. In this new order, a society that does not produce is reduced to a mass that only provides data and consumes by borrowing. If you cannot create added value, every product you buy will cost you dearly, because you are buying not only the price of the product but also the hegemony of the mind that produces that technology.
“Falling for the Loan Shark”: (The End of the Borrowing Economy)
One of the inevitable destinations of non-productive economies is global financial usury. Any structure that tries to cover its current account deficit with hot money rather than production eventually mortgages its political will. The warning, “If you don't produce, you will fall into usury” is not only an economic observation, but also a national security warning. Societies that cannot create their own resources and develop their own technology transfer their welfare to others in the grip of interest and debt.
Solution
Value Added Production and a New Mindset.
So what is the way out? The solution is not just to produce “more”, but to produce with “high added value” and “knowledge intensity”.
From Consumption Society to Production Society: A social transformation that does not boast of what others produce, but has a say in the world with its own inventions.
Education-Production Integration: A model in which schools do not just hand out diplomas, but are intertwined with industry and technology.
Breaking the Hegemony of Capital: Policies that prioritize the real sector and technological independence against the pressure of finance capital.
Conclusion:
Production is not a choice; it is an obligation to survive. If we want our currency to appreciate, prosperity to spread to the bottom and we want to be a strong state, we must start a production mobilization in every field, from the field to the factory, from the laboratory to the software offices.
It should not be forgotten that the one who waves a spoon on someone else's table cannot decide when his/her stomach is full. We will produce, create added value and only in this way will we be liberated.
