The Abstract Bogeyman. An idea I am playing with. Whether it is Empire (Hardt/Negri), The Cathedral (Moldbug), Spectacle (Debord) or Kyriarchy (Fiorenza), the Abstract Bogeyman is the "bad guy" in a given narrative that is the source of most if not all problems in the world.

Is the distinction from non-abstract that nobody espouses it? There are people who claim to be communist, capitalist, Islamic etc, and offer counter-bogeyman defensive accounts of those abstractions. Nobody does that for ‘cathedral’ etc because nobody identifies with it.
