Bernie, Zowongolera, komanso Kusuntha Ndalama

Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, June 14, 2020

Senator Bernie Sanders pamapeto pake anachita zinazake zomwe enafe timaganiza kuti zingalimbitse kampeni yake ya Purezidenti zaka zinayi zapitazo, komanso chaka chamawa. Ndiye zosangalatsa kukhazikitsa malamulo osunthira ndalama zochuluka kuchoka kunkhondo kupita kuzosowa zaumunthu ndi zachilengedwe (kapena zosowa za anthu; zidziwitso sizodziwikiratu, koma kusamutsa ndalama pomenya nkhondo) is kufunika kwachilengedwe).

Ndibwino kuti mwachedwa kuposa kale! Tipange kuti zichitike ndi chiwonetsero chachikulu chothandizidwa ndi anthu onse! Ndipo tiyeni tichitepo kanthu choyamba!

Mwaukadaulo, mmbuyomu mu February, Bernie adayikidwa m'mawu ake onena za momwe angalipire pazonse zomwe akufuna kuchita, ndalama zankhondo zokwana biliyoni 81 biliyoni zowononga ndalama. Pomwe malingaliro ake aposachedwa ngakhale ali ochepa kwambiri pa $ 74 biliyoni, ndikulongosoka kosavuta kusunthira ndalama; silinaikidwe m'chikalata chitalitali chofuna kulipirira kusintha kosintha pafupifupi pokhometsa misonkho anthu olemera; zidachitika kale yokutidwa osachepera ndi media media omwe akupita patsogolo; imalumikizana ndi kuphulika kwaposachedwa kwachangu, ndipo Sanders anatero tweeted izi:

"M'malo mongononga $ 740 biliyoni pa Dept. of Defense, tiyeni timanganso nyumba zomwe zawonongedwa ndi umphawi komanso kupachikidwa. Ndikhala ndikusintha zodula za DoD ndi 10% ndikubwezerani ndalama m'mizinda ndi m'matawuni omwe tanyalanyaza ndi kusiya nthawi yayitali. "

ndipo izi:

"M'malo mogwiritsa ntchito ndalama zochulukirapo pazida zowonongera anthu kuti aphe anthu ambiri momwe zingathere, mwina, mwina, tiziwononga ndalama zatsopanoyi ku United States of America. Ndi zomwe ndasinthira. ”

Chimodzi mwazomwe zidasunthidwa ndi Sanders ndichomwe chikufuna kuti anthu atengerepo ndalama kuti apolisi asamakhale ndi zida zofunikira. Kusintha kwakukulu kwa ndalama zakomweko kukhala apolisi ankhondo komanso ndende kumakhala kwakukulu kuposa anthu ambiri, motsutsana, komanso kuzunzika ndi imfa zomwe zidapangidwa ndi kusinthana kwa bajeti ya feduro pankhani ya nkhondo ndikukonzekera nkhondo zambiri - zomwe ndi za njira kumene zida zankhondo ndi maphunziro ankhondo ndi malingaliro ambiri owononga ndi omenyera ovuta apolisi apaderalo amachokera.

Pempho la bajeti la Trump la 2021 limasiyana pang'ono ndi zaka zapitazo. Iwo zikuphatikizapo 55% yakugwiritsa ntchito mwanzeru zankhondo. Zomwe zimasiyira 45% ya ndalama za Congress zomwe zimavotera china chilichonse: chitetezo cha chilengedwe, mphamvu, maphunziro, mayendedwe, zokambirana, nyumba, ulimi, sayansi, miliri yamatenda, mapaki, chithandizo chakunja (chosagwiritsa ntchito zida), ndi zina zambiri.

Zoyambilira za boma la US zakhala zikusakhudzana ndi malingaliro komanso malingaliro kwa anthu kwazaka zambiri, ndipo zakhala zikuyenda molakwika ngakhale kuti kuzindikira mavuto omwe akukumana nawo akubwera. Iwo zingatenge ndalama osakwana 3% ndalama zankhondo zaku US, malinga ndi ziwerengero za UN, kuthetsa njala padziko lapansi, komanso pafupifupi 1% kuti ipatse dziko lapansi madzi akumwa oyera. Kuchepera kwa 7% ogwiritsa ntchito ankhondo kuthetseratu umphawi ku United States.

Chifukwa china chomwe a Sanders apereka lingaliro lake tsopano atha kukhala kuti Sanders sakufunanso purezidenti. Sindikudziwa kuti ndi momwe ziliri, koma zingagwirizane ndi ubale wopanda pake womwe mtendere wakhala nawo ndi andale komanso atolankhani.

Mwa zinthu zambiri zachilendo za kuphulika kwaposachedwa kozungulira pa kusankhana mitundu komanso nkhanza za apolisi, mwina chodabwitsa kwambiri ndicho mayankho a makampani. The New York Times tsamba lokonza ndi Twitter onse alengeza mwadzidzidzi kuti pali malire pazomwe ayenera kukhala oyipa. Mwadzidzidzi zimakhala zosavomerezeka kunena kuti mbendera zachikunja zimapembedza kuposa tsankho. Malonda atolankhani ndi mabungwe ambiri akudzigonjera okha kuti afotokoze motsutsana ndi kusankhana mitundu, ngati sizikutsutsana ndi kuphedwa kwa apolisi. Ndipo maboma am'deralo ndi maboma aboma akuchitapo kanthu. Zonsezi zimalimbikitsa kupanikizika ku Congress kuti ichite zina zoyenera motsatira njira yoyenera.

Titha kuwerengera m'mabungwe ambiri olemba mbiri yakale za zinthu zomwe mwezi wapitawu amatchedwa "ofisala anachititsa kuphedwa" koma pano amatchedwa "kupha." Izi ndizododometsa. Tikuwona mphamvu zomwe nthawi zambiri zimatsutsana, komanso mawonekedwe ophatikizika ngati kuchotsa ziboliboli, zomwe amati ndizochita kupha, komanso amati ndi njira zopititsira polimbana ndi apolisi masukulu.

Koma, fanizirani izi ndi kuyankha komwe takuwona pamene nkhondo zankhondo zakula. Ngakhale misewu idadzaza mu 2002 - 2003, makampani ofalitsa sanayende konse, sanasinthe mawu, sanalole mawu ankhondo kupitirira 5% ya alendo ofalitsa nkhani, sanagwiritse ntchito mawu omenyera nkhondo, komanso sanathenso kuitana "ankhondo machitidwe ”kupha. Vuto limodzi ndiloti maboma am'deralo savota pa nkhondo. Ndipo komabe, mobwerezabwereza achita izi. M'mbuyomu, nthawi zamakolo azaka za US zidapitapo kale zosankha kutsutsa nkhondo zina ndi kulamula kuti ndalama zisunthidwe kuchoka kunkhondo kupita pazosowa za anthu. Makanema ojambula pamakampani sanapezebe kamodzi kamodzi komwe angapereke. Ndipo andale omwe amadziwa bwino atha kuchoka pamalo otchuka kwambiri, komanso mautali autali.

As Politico inanena mu 2016 ku Sanders, "Mu 1995, adakhazikitsa lamulo lothetsa dongosolo la zida zanyukiliya ku America. Pofika kumapeto kwa 2002, iye adathandizira kuti Pentagon idule 50%. ” Zasintha? Kutulutsa ndalama zankhondo kunayamba kutchuka. Ndalama zankhondo zimangokulirakulira. Koma Bernie adathamangira purezidenti.

Mu 2018, ambiri a ife tidasaina kalata yotseguka kwa Bernie Sanders kumufunsa kuti achite bwino. Ena mwa ife tidakumana ndi ena mwa antchito ake apamwamba. Adati akuvomereza. Amati achite bwino. Ndipo mpaka pamlingo wina adachitadi. Bernie mwapang'onopang'ono adaphatikiza ndi Military Industrial Complex mndandanda wake wazomwe akufuna kukwaniritsa. Anasiya kuyankhula kwambiri za nkhondo ngati ntchito yapagulu. Nthawi zina amalankhula za kusuntha ndalama zathu kukhala zida, ngakhale nthawi zina amatanthauza kuti vutoli linali lalikulu m'maiko ena, ngakhale maina aku US ogwiritsa ntchito kwambiri komanso ogulitsa apamwamba pazida. Koma sanatulutse a lingaliro la bajeti. (Monga momwe ndadziwira, palibe prezidenti wa US wa mtundu uliwonse amene anakhalapo. [Chonde, anthu, musangokhalira kunena kuti ndizosatheka popanda kutulutsa chitsanzo chimodzi.]) Ndipo sanayambepo nkhondo zomaliza kapena kusuntha ndalama zoyang'anira ntchito yake.

Tsopano Sanders sakuthanso. Mwa ulemu wawo, ena akugwirabe ntchito kuti amupatse mavoti ambiri (ngati akufuna kapena ayi) akuyembekeza kukopa chipani cha Democratic Party (ndipo mwina akuwonetsetsa kuti a Sanders ndiomwe adzasankhidwa ngati sitima yapamtunda ya Biden itasokonekera konse). Koma Sanders iyemwini amayang'ana kudzinenera kuti Biden ali wotseguka kuti asunthire kumanzere, ngakhale monga Biden akufuna kuwonjezera ndalama zapolisi komanso kukonzanso omenyera nawo nkhondo a nthawi ya Iraq.

Mphindi ino yopanda kuthamanga ikhoza kukhala yabwino kwa kunena chilungamo, komanso mulingo wothandizidwa ndi anthu ambiri omwe andale sakukhulupirira. Ngati tikufuna zinthu zabwino mmalo mwa kupha anthu ambiri, tiyenera kugwiritsa ntchito mwayiwu kuwonetsa kuti tikufuna tikutanthauza kuti, ndipo sitisamala kuti ndani achitapo kanthu kapena zomwe akuchita kapena sakukonzekera. Tikufuna Mitt Romney azigwira ntchito ya Black Lives Matter osati chifukwa timakonzekera kukhazikitsa chithunzi cha Mitt Romney, osati chifukwa tikugwirizana ndi Mitt Romney pazinthu zinanso, osati chifukwa kuwoneka bwino kwa moyo wa Mitt Romney kumawoneka ngati china chilichonse koma chowopsa , osati chifukwa tikuganiza kuti "akutanthauza mu mtima mwake," koma chifukwa tikufuna miyoyo yakuda ikhale yofunika. Tikufunanso kuti ndalama zomwe zasunthidwa kuchoka kunkhondo kupita ku zinthu zabwino, ziribe kanthu kuti ndi ndani amene akuchita izi (komanso ngati timakonda, kusilira, kunyoza, kapena kumva mwanjira iliyonse za Bernie Sanders), chifukwa:

• Nkhondo ndi yachiwerewere.
• Nkhondo imatipweteka ife.
• Nkhondo imayambitsa chilengedwe chathu.
• Nkhondo imawononga ufulu wathu.
• Nkhondo imatipulumutsa ife.
• Nkhondo imalimbikitsa kukondana. Ndipo:
• Timafunika $ 2 trilioni / chaka pazinthu zina.

Mwezi watha, mamembala 29 a Congress zosangalatsa kusamutsa ndalama kuchokera kunkhondo kupita kuzosowa za anthu. Titha kuwonjezera ku chiwerengero chimenecho ngati tonse titha mawu athu. Ndipo ngakhale chiwerengero chimenecho chikhoza kukhala chokwanira ngati atati achitepo kanthu pakavota pa zikalata zazikulu zankhondo (National Defense Authorization Act ya 2021).

Malinga ndi Maloto Amodzi:

"United States ikuwononga ndalama pafupifupi $ 660 biliyoni mapulogalamu opanda chitetezo mchaka cha 2021, pafupifupi $ 80 biliyoni kuposa ndalama zoikira kumbuyo chitetezo cha Senate NDAA. Ngati ndalama za Sanders ziwonjezeredwa pachilichonse, US ikhoza kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zochulukirapo pazosavomerezeka zomwe zimaphatikizapo maphunziro, chilengedwe, nyumba, chisamaliro chaumoyo, ndi madera ena kuposa kuteteza. ”

Zachidziwikire, zankhondo sizigwirizana ndi "kuteteza" kunja kwa nkhani zabodza ngati zopanda nzeru komanso zowonongeka ngati lingaliro la kuyika apolisi m'masukulu a ana, komanso lingaliro lankhondo lankhondo laku US ndizopitilira $ 1.25 triliyoni pachaka. Zachidziwikire, nkhani ya Sanders ya "komwe kuno ku United States" (onani chithunzi chake pamwambapa) chikuwonekerabe ngati chiphunzitso chakuti nkhondo ndi ntchito yothandiza anthu omwe adazunzidwa kutali, ndipo sakuphonya kukula kwa bajeti yankhondo. zomwe zingakhale zovuta kuwononga padziko lonse lapansi ngati titachotsapo. Sitifunika kusewerera m'malingaliro akale akale akuti njira yina yankhondo ndi "kudzipatula." Kudula kulikonse kwakukulu kumagulu ankhondo kuyenera kuloleza phindu lalikulu kwa anthu aku US komanso popanda.

US pakadali pano mikono ndi sitima ndi ndalama olamulira mwankhanza padziko lonse lapansi. US pakadali pano imasunga magulu ankhondo padziko lonse lapansi. US ikumanga ndi kusungitsa zida zochulukirapo za zida zanyukiliya zowonongera anthu ambiri. Ndondomekozi ndi zina zambiri zofananira sizili m'gulu limodzi lothandizirana ndi anthu, kapena maulamuliro. Ndipo izi sizingawononge ndalama zambiri kuti ziwonjezeke.

Christian Sorensen alemba mu Kuzindikira Ntchito Zankhondo, "Bungwe la US Census Bureau likuwonetsa kuti mabanja 5.7 miliyoni ovutika kwambiri omwe ali ndi ana angafunike, pafupifupi $ 11,400 enanso kuti akhale moyo wopitilira umphawi (kuyambira chaka cha 2016). Ndalama zonse zofunika. . . zingakhale pafupifupi $ 69.4 biliyoni / chaka. ” Bwanji os kuthetseratu umphawi ku United States $ 69.4 biliyoni ndikupeza zina $ 4.6 biliyoni pakusintha kwanu madola biliyoni 74 ndi kupereka zosagwirizana-zothandizira-zothandizira-zokomera anthu padziko lapansi kutengera kusowa kwakufunika osati zolinga zankhondo zakunja?

Zowona sizowona, monga a Senator Sanders kosatha amati, kuti United States ndiye dziko lolemera kwambiri m'mbiri yonse ya dziko lapansi. Siyolemera kwambiri pompano, pamutu uliwonse, womwe ndi muyeso woyenera mu ma tweets onse a Senator ndi Facebook. Kaya ndi olemera kwambiri kwathunthu zimatengera momwe mumayimira, koma sizothandiza kwenikweni pothana ndi maphunziro, umphawi, ndi zina zambiri. Tifunikira kuti pamapeto pake tisunthire atsogoleri andale ngakhale kuti ndi osiyana kwambiri ndi zozizwitsa za US. Ndipo tikuyenera kuwalimbikitsa kuti azindikire kuti kusamutsa ndalama chifukwa cha nkhondo ndikofunikira basi monga kusamutsa ndalama m'mapulojekiti abwino.

Ngakhale mutatha kukonza zonse pokhometsa msonkho anthu olemera ndikusiya ndalama munkhondo, simungachepetse chiopsezo cha apocalypse mwanjira imeneyi. Simungachepetse nkhondo, kuchedwetsa kuwononga chilengedwe ndi malo owononga zachilengedwe kwambiri, kuchepetsa zomwe zimachitika pa ufulu wa anthu komanso chikhalidwe, kapena kuyimitsa kupha anthu ambiri osasokoneza ndalama pankhondo. Ndalama zimafunikira kuti zizichotsedwapo, monga phindu amatulutsa ntchito, ngati ndalamazo zimasunthidwa ndikugwiritsa ntchito anthu mwachinyengo kapena msonkho wa anthu ogwira ntchito. Pulogalamu yakusintha kwachuma iyenera kusintha magwiridwe antchito omwe amagulitsa maboma padziko lonse lapansi. A pulogalamu Kutembenuka kwachikhalidwe kumayenera kuloza kusankhana mitundu ndi kusankhana mitundu ndi chiwawa-kudalira nzeru ndi humanism.

Kwa zaka zambiri tsopano, Mlembi wa DRM wochokera ku Colonized Washington DC, Eleanor Holmes Norton, ali adayambitsidwa malingaliro osuntha ndalama kuchokera ku zida za nyukiliya kupita ku ntchito zofunikira. Nthawi zina, zolipira ngati chimenecho ziyenera kukwera pamwamba pa zomwe tikufuna kuchita. Koma kusintha kwa Sanders ndikofunikira kwambiri masiku ano, chifukwa kumatha kuphatikizidwa mwezi uno kwa ndalama zomwe zimadziwika kuti zimagwirizana ndi zigawo za US Congress ndipo zakhala zikuchitika mosadukiza chaka chilichonse kuyambira kalekale.

Tikufuna gawo ili tsopano ndipo lipezeka. Pitani kunja uko ndipo mukafunefune!
