Ndi David Swanson

Malangizo ku Hall of Association ku Berkeley, Calif., October 13, 2018.

Video apa.

Zolembedwe ndi zilembo ndi haikus ndi mau ena ophatikizapo ndi zinthu zonyenga. Ndinalemba bukhuli ndikuyang'ana mitu yambiri momwe anthu amachitira kawirikawiri za nkhondo, ndipo ndazipeza zonsezi - komanso mapulogalamu otsatsa malonda kale, nthawi, ndi pambuyo pa nkhondo yapitayi popanda kupatula - kukhala osakhulupirika. Kotero ine ndinaitcha bukhu Nkhondo Ndi Bodza. Ndiyeno anthu omwe sanamvetse tanthauzo langa anayamba kundiumirira kuti ndinali kulakwitsa, nkhondoyo imakhalapo.

Tili ndi t-shirt World BEYOND War omwe amawerenga "Ndilimbana kale ndi nkhondo yotsatira." Koma zotsutsa zomwe sitiyenera kuganiza kuti ziyenera kukhala nkhondo yotsatira. Ndipo ine ndikutsutsa kuti kwenikweni tikulimbana ndi zosavuta kudziwika kuti pali nkhondo zambiri zomwe zikuchitika kale tikamaganizira "nkhondo yotsatira," makamaka mdziko lomwe limakhala likudzidzimutsa pamtendere pomwe likuphulika mabomba ambiri padziko lapansi .

Njira imodzi yothetsera izi ndi kudziletsa tokha polemba zilembo. Ngati mawu otchulidwawo angatipulumutse ife, zomwe zili mu bokosi langa la imelo, zodzaza ndi malingaliro owonetsera dziko lapansi, zikanakhazikitsa paradaiso kale. Ngati iwo omwe akutsutsana ndi mtendere ndi chilungamo amakhala kwenikweni pa televizioni makamaka chifukwa sali pithy ndi wochuluka mokwanira, mosiyana ndi awo omwe sangathe kukhala ndi ma TV, tiyenera kutseka zonse pokhapokha pokhapokha timapanga zojambula za bumper.

Komabe, ngati ndikulemba nkhani ndikulemba chiyanjano pazochitika zogwirizana ndi anthu, kawirikawiri zokambirana za mutuwu zikuchitika pakati pa ophunzira omwe sanawoneke bwino ndikuwerenga nkhaniyo ndi omwe nthawi zina, akafunsidwa, amaikidwa ndi lingaliro lakuti ayenera kuchita zimenezo. Ine ndangoyamba kumene kumangogwiritsa ntchito nkhani zokhazokha, chifukwa iwo omwe ali ndi mutu wokondweretsa nthawi zambiri amalephera kukhala ndi moyo mpaka kulipira kwawo. Zonsezi ndizoti mutuwu umakhudzidwa. Koma chitani maulendo ambiri. Kotero ine ndikuuzani inu mutu womwe ine ndinabwera nawo pa nkhani iyi, ngakhale kuti iyo yanyozedwa monga yonyansa, chifukwa ine ndikuyembekeza kuti mundilole ine ziganizo zina zowonjezera pamutu wokha. Pano pali mutu wakuti: "Pangani Dziko Lakukulu Kwambiri Nthawi Yoyamba."

Nazi zinthu zina zomwe sindikutanthauza ndi zomwe ndikubwerera posachedwa:

-Imwini kapena ife omwe tili mu chipinda chino tili ndi mphamvu zazikulu zomwe zidzatiloleza kukonza dziko lonse lomwe lidzatithokoze chifukwa cha chisomo cha Mulungu.

Palibe mabungwe a m'mbuyo kapena tsopano omwe alipo, kuphatikizapo anthu omwe si Afirika ndi amwenye, akhala akudabwitsa mwa njira iliyonse, ndipo njira yakukhala yabwino ndi chilengedwe chatsopano chomwe sichifunikira nzeru iliyonse yakale.

or

-Nkhanza ziyenera kuwononga dziko lonse lapansi.

Pano pali pang'ono pa zomwe ndikutanthauza:

Mwinamwake mwamvapo kwinakwake mawu akuti "Pangani Ambiri ku America" ​​ndipo kubwerera kwachimake "America Yakhala Yopambana." Zomwe zapitazo zinasintha ngakhale kuti "America anali Wamkulu pamaso Panu, Mr. Trump" yomwe imatha pafupifupi pafupifupi " Pangani America Kuphanso. "Ndimatsutsana ndi dzikoli. Dziko lapansili liri pangozi, ndipo likulankhula za kupanga malo abwino omwe 4% a anthu amakhala, makamaka popanda kukayikira chikhalidwe chomwe chimagwiritsira ntchito ndi kuwononga zake ndi zina, zimawoneka zolakwika. Ndimatsutsa zolakwika za mawuwo, omwe sanafalitsidwe ndi nkhani kapena bukhu, koma osati chipewa. Ngakhale ena angakhale ndi malingaliro achikulire a ku America omwe ndingawachirikize, kaya ndi zoona kapena ayi, ena akuganiza kuti apangitsenso ku United States kuti awonongeke mobwerezabwereza. Ndimatsutsa kugwiritsa ntchito "America" ​​kutanthauza United States yekha, ngakhale zitalola kuti kuzunzika koteroko kukhale "Pangani America Chidani kachiwiri" ndi "Pangani America Mexico kachiwiri." Koma ndilo "gawo lalikulu" la mawu omwe Zimapangitsa kuti anthu aziganiza mwachidwi komanso ndale.

Mwanjira ina, kudandaula za kusasinthika kwa chilankhulo cha fascist kungatitsogolere ku njira yotsutsa, yomwe ndi mfundo. Kutenga "America" ​​kutanthawuza United States za zaka makumi angapo zapitazi, choonadi chosavuta ndikuti sikuli tsopano ndipo sizinakhale zabwino, ziribe kanthu momwe wina amafotokozera ukulu. Ngakhale gulu la anthu a ku United States pamwamba pokhulupirira kuti mtundu wawo ndi wabwino, ndipo makamaka wamkulu, ndipo makamaka wopambana kukhala woyenera maudindo apadera, malingaliro ameneŵa alibe maziko kwenikweni. Mayiko aku America, lingaliro lakuti United States of America ndiposa amitundu ena, sichifukwa chokhazikitsanso ndipo sichidetsa nkhaŵa kusiyana ndi tsankho, kugonana, ndi mitundu ina yotsutsana - ngakhale chikhalidwe cha US chimasokoneza mtundu umenewu zovomerezeka zambiri.

M'buku langa laposachedwapa, Kuchiritsa Kuwonetsera Kwambiri, Ndikuyang'ana momwe United States ikufananirana ndi mayiko ena, momwe izo zimaganizira za izo, zomwe zimavulaza malingaliro awa, ndi momwe angaganizire mosiyana. Poyambirira pa zigawo zinayi, ndimayesa kufufuza kuti United States ndi yaikulu kwambiri, ndipo ndikulephera.

Ndinayesa ufulu, koma ndondomeko iliyonse ndi bungwe lililonse kapena maphunziro, kunja, ku United States, ndalama zothandizidwa ndi ndalama za CIA, ndi zina zotero, sizinayenerere dziko la United States pamwamba, kaya ndi ufulu wogulitsa ndalama, ufulu wodzetsa moyo wokhutiritsa, ufulu wa ufulu wa anthu, ufulu wosintha udindo wawo wa zachuma, ufulu ndi lingaliro lililonse pansi pano. United States kumene "ndikudziŵa kuti ndine mfulu" m'mawu a nyimbo ya dziko likusiyana ndi mayiko ena kumene ndikudziwa kuti ndine mfulu.

Kotero ine ndinayang'ana molimba. Ndinayang'ana pa maphunziro pamlingo uliwonse, ndipo ndinapeza kuti United States inali yoyamba pa ngongole ya ophunzira. Ndinayang'ana chuma ndipo ndinapeza kuti United States inali yoyamba yokha yosawerengeka ya kufalitsa chuma pakati pa mayiko olemera. Ndipotu, United States ili m'munsi mwa mayiko olemera mu mndandanda wautali kwambiri wa miyoyo ya moyo. Mumakhala moyo watali, wathanzi, komanso wokondwa kwina kulikonse. United States ndiyo ndiyo yoyamba pakati pa mitundu yonse muzigawo zosiyanasiyana zomwe munthu sayenera kudzikuza nazo: kutsekera m'ndende, mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya chiwonongeko cha zachirengedwe, ndi njira zambiri zankhondo, kuphatikizapo magulu ena osasangalatsa, monga - osandimvera - milandu munthu aliyense. Ndipo izo zimakhala koyamba pa zinthu zingapo zomwe ndikuganiza iwo omwe amafuula "Ndife Nambala 1!" Kuti titsetse aliyense wogwira ntchito kuti asinthe zinthu zomwe sakuziganizira: kwambiri ma TV, maulendo ambiri otchedwa asphalt, kapena pafupi mu kunenepa kwambiri, kudyetsedwa kwambiri chakudya, opaleshoni yokongoletsa, zolaula, kumwa tchizi, ndi zina zotero.

M'dziko lolingalira bwino, mayiko omwe adapeza ndondomeko yabwino zothandizira zaumoyo, chiwawa cha mfuti, maphunziro, chitetezo cha chilengedwe, mtendere, chitukuko, ndi chimwemwe zidzalimbikitsidwa kwambiri ngati zitsanzo zoyenerera. M'dzikoli, kufalikira kwa chinenero cha Chingerezi, ulamuliro wa Hollywood, ndi zina mwazimene zimapangitsa United States kutsogolera chinthu chimodzi: polimbikitsa zonse zomwe zimayambitsa ndondomeko zoipa.

Lingaliro langa sikuti anthu ayenera kuchoka ku United States kapena kulumbira kwawo ku malo ena, kapena m'malo mwa kunyada ndi manyazi. Ndipo palibe kufotokozera kapena chiwerengero chirichonse chomwe chimaphimba aliyense weniweni. Pakhala pali ma subcultures kuphatikizapo miyambo ya chikhalidwe ku United States yomwe inali ndi zambiri zoti iphunzitse. Mfundo yanga ndi yakuti tili ndi mayankho ku US kuti ngati odwala omwe ali ndi malipiro angagwire ntchito zenizeni zenizeni zomwe zikutsutsa kuti zikugwira ntchito m'mayiko ambiri. Timavala zovala zofanana za mtendere, ndikuganiza kuti mtendere sunafikepo, ndipo tiyenera kuyang'ana pa zozizwitsa za Einstein, Freud, Russell, ndi Tolstoy kuti amange njira zothetsera Dziko latsopano limene mtendere udzakhazikitsidwe poyamba.

Chowonadi ndi chakuti, ngakhale malingaliro okongola a oganiza za Kumadzulo angakhale othandiza kwambiri, timalakwitsa ngati sitizindikira zinsinsi zina zochititsa manyazi. Tsopano zikuoneka kuti magulu ambiri a anthu osaka nyama sagwira ntchito yofanana ndi nkhondo yapamwamba kwambiri, kutanthauza kuti ambiri mwa zamoyo zathu sizinaphatikizepo nkhondo. Ngakhale m'zaka zaposachedwapa, ambiri a Australia, Arctic, North America, Basin Wamkulu ku North America, ngakhalenso Ulaya isanafike chiwerengero cha zigawenga zapamwamba zisanayambe nkhondo. Zitsanzo zatsopano zachuluka. Mu 1614 Japan anadzipatula okha kuchokera kumadzulo ndi ku nkhondo zazikulu mpaka 1853 pamene asilikali a ku US ananyamula njira yawo. Mu nthawi yamtendere, chikhalidwe chikukula. Chigawo cha Pennsylvania chifukwa cha nthawi yosankha kulemekeza anthu a chibadwidwe, poyerekeza ndi madera ena, ndipo idadziwa mtendere ndi kupambana. Lingaliro lolembedwa ndi wotchuka wa zakuthambo wa Neil deGrasse Tyson kuti chifukwa 17th century Europe inayambitsa sayansi mwa kuyendetsa nkhondo panopa kupyolera mu militarism akhoza chikhalidwe chilichonse chikayambe, choncho - mosavuta - astrophysicists ndi 100% zogwira ntchito Pentagon, ndi maganizo pogwiritsa ntchito tsankho lopanda pake limene anthu ochepa omwe angaloledwe kulandira ngati akuphatikizidwa mwachindunji.

Palibe chitukuko chomwe chinkafanana ndi nkhondo yamakono yomwe idali gawo la magawo awiri apitawo mzaka zapitazo. Kuitana mabomba a nyumba za anthu ku Yemen dzina lomwelo monga kumenyana ndi malupanga kapena muskets panja ndi zovuta kwambiri.

Mtundu wambiri umene unayambitsa mabomba panyumba za anthu padziko lonse lapansi, womwe ndi United States, sumaphatikizapo gawo la 99 la anthu ake mwachindunji kuntchito ya nkhondo konse. Ngati nkhondo ndi khalidwe losatetezeka laumunthu, n'chifukwa chiyani anthu ambiri amafuna kuti wina achite zimenezo? Ngakhale kuti anthu opitirira 40 peresenti ya anthu a US akuuza anthu kuti amatha kutenga nawo nkhondo, ndipo mavidiyo a NRA amalimbikitsa nkhondo zambiri monga njira yogulitsa mfuti kwa masewera a nkhondo, pafupifupi aliyense wa iwo, kuphatikizapo antchito a NRA, atsimikiziridwa kuti angathe kupeza malo osungirako ntchito.

Asilikali am'madera a kumayiko ambiri azimayi sanatenge akazi ndipo tsopano akuyesetsa kuti awaphatikize popanda nkhawa iliyonse yokhudza chikhalidwe cha anthu, popanda wina akudzifunsa chifukwa chake, ngati akazi angayambe kumenya nkhondo, amuna sangasiye kupha nkhondo.

Pakalipano 96% yaumunthu imakhala pansi pa maboma omwe amawononga ndalama mopanda malire, ndipo nthawi zambiri amatsutsana kwambiri ndi anthu komanso gawo lawo, kusiyana ndi momwe 4% yaumunthu ku United States. Komabe anthu ku United States adzakuuzani kuti kugwiritsira ntchito ndalama zamagulu ndi kubwezeretsanso muzandale za US kungaphwanyiritse mankhwala amthano omwe amadziwika ngati umunthu. Zaka zoposa zaka zapitazo pamene US adachita zochepa pa militete ife sitinali munthu.

Ngakhale wopha anthu opambana a US ku nkhondo akudzipha, ndipo milandu yolembedwa ya PTSD chifukwa cha kukanika kwa nkhondo kumakhala pang'onopang'ono pa zero, nkhondo imati ndi yachibadwa. Komabe Congress ya US sichidzatha kudutsa ndalama zomwe zimapangitsa ndalama za US kuti zisagwiritsidwe ntchito zankhondo ku United States kuti zikhale zochepa kwambiri kuposa momwe zingathetsere Khoti Lalikulu la Malamulo Kuposa milandu ina yokhudza kugonana.

Pamene ndikunena kuti tiyenera kupanga dziko lapansi kwa nthawi yoyamba, ndikutanthauza kuti m'nthawi ino yolankhulirana padziko lonse lapansi, tiyenera kudziganizira kuti ndife nzika za dziko lapansi ndikukhazikitsa mgwirizano wa dziko, mgwirizano, kukangana ndi kubwezeretsanso kuti Gwiritsani ntchito nzeru zambiri zomwe zakhala zikuchitika zakale zapadziko lapansi. Ndipo ndikutanthauza izi monga ntchito yomwe idzafuna kuti anthu padziko lonse agwire ntchito pamodzi, akugawana malingaliro osiyana, ndikuvomereza kufunika kolemekeza ndi kuphunzira kuchokera pakusiyana kwakukulu. Ngakhale kuti izi sizinachitikepo panopa, njira yothetsera vutoli ndi yakuti mitundu yovutayi ndi ena ambiri adzawonongeka - zomwe zikuwoneka kuti ndizingakhale zovuta kwambiri kuti kuyesera chinthu chatsopano, chomwe - chidziwitso - chiri chovuta komanso zosangalatsa osati nkhani yovuta konse.

Gulu lapadziko lonse lothandiza kuthetsa nkhondo, chomwe chiri World BEYOND War ikugwira ntchito, iyenera kukhala kayendetsedwe kamene kakugwira anthu ogulitsa zida zankhondo, omanga nkhondo, ndi zifukwa zankhondo, omwe akunena kuti kulimbikitsa olamulira ankhanza, kukhazikitsa mabungwe amitundu yachilendo, kuwononga malamulo ndi mayiko ndi mayiko, ndikugwetsa mabomba ambiri. Izi zikutanthauza kuti makamaka boma la United States - lomwe liri loyenerera kuti pakhale ndondomeko ya chigwirizano, kupatukana, chilango, ndi kupsinjika kwa makhalidwe monga momwe boma la Israeli likanakhalira ngati boma la Israeli lichulukitsidwa 100 pakhosi.

Mapulofesa omwe amakuuzani kuti nkhondo ikhoza kukhala yolungama komanso kuti nkhondo ikutha mofulumira padziko lonse lapansi - ndipo pali kusiyana pakati pa magulu awiriwa, Ian Morris wa Stanford ali awiriwa - ndi a Western, a USian okha, ndipo amatsutsa kwambiri. Nkhondo Zachilengedwe Zachilengedwe Zachilengedwe, zomwe zimakwiyitsa ndi zida za Kumadzulo, zimatchulidwanso ngati zigawenga, pomwe nkhondo za kumadzulo zimamveka ngati malamulo. Koma, kwenikweni, nkhondo nthawi zambiri imayambitsa chiwawa, ndipo kawirikawiri nkhondo imaphatikizapo nkhondo. Ngati awiriwa, nkhondo ndi chiwawa, adakangana motsutsana ndi chisankho cha US kuti tidzamuuza kuti tifunika kuvotera woipayo, zilizonse, koma zonsezi sizingatheke. Ndipo palibe lamulo lililonse lomwe limapanga, popeza ndilo kuphwanya lamulo lalikulu.

At World BEYOND War ife tabwera ndi bukhu lotchedwa A Global Security System: An Alternative Nkhondo omwe amayesera kulingalira chikhalidwe cha dziko ndi dongosolo lomwe limatithandiza kuthetsa nkhondo ndi zida zonse. Ndinalemba mabuku angapo omwe amalankhula izi. Koma lero ndikumverera ngati ndikuyankhula za zowonjezera, zomwe anthu angachite kuti akhale mwamtendere komanso zokhudzana ndi zomwe zimayambitsa. Zambiri zabwino zimayenderana. Chifukwa ndikuwona zambiri ndi zolakwa zambiri.

Nazi zina zomwe chikhalidwe chathu chimatipempha kuti tiyankhe:

Kodi boma la US liri ndi ndalama zochuluka kapena zochepa kwambiri?

Yankho lofunika kwambiri ndi ayi. Boma la US limagwiritsa ntchito ndalamazo mochuluka pazolakwika. Zambiri kuposa momwe zimagwiritsira ntchito kuchuluka kwa ndalama, zimasowa ndalama zosiyana siyana. Ku United States, 60% kapena ndalama zomwe Congress zimasankha chaka chilichonse (chifukwa Social Security ndi chithandizo chamankhwala akuchitidwa mosiyana) zimapita ku nkhondo. Izi zikugwirizana ndi National Priorities Project, yomwe imanenanso kuti, poyesa bajeti yonse, komanso kusawerengera ngongole yamagulu akale, komanso kusawerengera ankhondo, asilikali amatha kukhala ndi 16%. Panthawiyi, nkhondo ya Resisters League imati 47% ya msonkho wa ndalama za US amapita ku nkhondo, kuphatikizapo ngongole yamagulu akale, chisamaliro cha ankhondo, etc. Ndimawerenga mabuku nthawi zonse za ndalama za boma za US ndi chuma cha US chomwe sichimanena kuti kulipo wa asilikali nkomwe. Chitsanzo chaposachedwa ndi buku latsopano lolemba mabuku wa British British George Monbiot. Ndinamuonetsa pa wailesi yanga ndikumufunsa za izi, ndipo adanena kuti sakudziwa momwe ndalama zankhondo zapamwamba zinalili. Anadabwa kuti anali. Tiyenera kukhazikitsa zokhazokha pokhapokha ngati zokhudzana ndi chidziwitso nthawi zambiri zimapewa, monga momwe zakhalira kupyolera mu zisankho za mzinda kuno ku Berkeley.

Kodi Donald Trump ndi wabwino kapena woipa, woyenera kutamandidwa?

Yankho lolondola ndilo inde. Pamene maulamuliro, monga amodzi akuyenera kuyitanira maboma omwe si a US, amachita zabwino, wina ayenera kuwayamika, ndipo pamene achita zoipa ayenera kuwatsutsa. Ndipo pamene pali 99 peresenti imodzi mwa ziwirizi, zotsalira za 1 peresenti ndizo zina ziyenera kuvomerezedwa. Ndikufuna Trump imapitikizidwa ndi kuchotsedwa ndipo nthawi zina amatsutsidwa chifukwa cha mndandanda wautali. Onani nkhani zachinyengo zomwe zikukonzekera kupita ku RootsAction.org. Ndikufuna Nancy Pelosi, yemwe amatsutsa mwatsatanetsatane za Bush, Cheney, Trump, Pence, ndi Kavanaugh, adafunsanso ngati angasinthe chilichonse. Koma ndikufunanso Democrats omwe akhala akunena kuti Trump ikhale yovuta kwambiri ku Russia ndi North Korea kuti akhale ndi mpando ndikukhalanso ndikuganizira ngati pali mfundo zomwe angaganizirepo kuti zikhale zapadera. Tiyenera kugwiritsira ntchito ndondomeko, osati umunthu. Tiyeni tichotse patsogolo pa umunthu kupita ku fascists.

Kodi Siriya iyenera kuponyedwa mabomba chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito zida za mankhwala kapena kupulumutsidwa chifukwa sizinapangitse choncho?

Yankho loyenera ndi ayi, palibe amene amabwera bomba, osati mwalamulo, osati mwakhama, osati mwamakhalidwe. Palibe chigawenga cha zida zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kapena zida zankhondo zimatsimikizira kuti pali vuto lina lililonse, ndipo ndithudi palibe kuphwanya kwakukulu komwe kulipo. Kupatula miyezi ikutsutsana ngati Iraq ili ndi zida zosagwirizana ndi funso lakupha Iraq. Yankho la funso limeneli ndi lodziwikiratu ndi lovomerezeka ndi lovomerezeka lomwe siliyenera kuyembekezera kuunika kulikonse kosafunikira.

Kodi mukuyamba kuona chitsanzo? Timapemphedwa kuti tigwiritse ntchito nthawi yathu pa mafunso olakwika, ndi mitu-iwo-kupambana ndi miyeso-ife-kutaya mayankho alipo. Kodi mungavotere khansara kapena matenda a mtima? Tengani kusankha kwanu. Sindidzakangana ndi kuvota kochepa kapena kuvota kwakukulu. Ndichifukwa chiyani? Ndi maminiti 20 m'moyo wanu. Ndizochepera zaka zochepetsetsa-m'chaka ndi chaka kuti ndikudandaula kwambiri. Anthu akamagwirizana ndi gulu lomwe linatsogoleredwa ndi theka la akuluakulu osankhidwa mu boma, kudzifufuza okha, ndikudzinenera kuti akufuna gawo la boma losweka likufuna, podziwa kuti lidzasokonezeka kuchokera kumeneko, boma loyimira lidzasinthidwa ndi kupotozedwa. Msonkhano wa anthu ogwira ntchito unabwera ku tawuni yanga ndikuuza anthu kuti iwo anali oletsedwa kunena "wosalipira limodzi" ndipo ankayenera kupanga zojambula za chinachake chomwe chimatchedwa "chisankho cha anthu" chifukwa ndi zomwe Democrats ku Washington ankafuna. Ndikumangodzipanga nokha pulogalamu, chida. Zimene mumanena siziyenera kukhala, ndipo siziyenera kukhala, zochepa momwe inu mumasankhira.

Kufunsa kwa mafunso olakwika ndi momwe timaphunzitsidwira mbiri, komanso momwe timagwirizanirana ndi anthu, komanso momwe timatsogoleredwa kumvetsa dziko lapansi.

Kodi mukuchirikiza Nkhondo Yachibadwidwe ya US kapena kuti mukhale ukapolo?

Yankho liyenera kukhala ayi. Kuchepetsa kwakukulu ku ukapolo ndi serfdom kunali gulu lonse lapansi, lomwe linapambana m'malo ambiri popanda nkhondo yapachiweniweni yowopsya. Ngati tidafuna kuthetsa kutsekera m'ndende kapena kuwonetsa nyama kapena kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta osokoneza bongo kapena ma TV, sitingapindule ndi chitsanzo chomwe chimanena kuti poyamba tipeze minda ndi kuphana mowonjezereka ndikutha kutsekera m'ndende. Chitsanzo chabwino chikanangokhala kupumitsa ndende, pang'onopang'ono kapena mofulumira, koma popanda kuphana kwakukulu, zotsatira za zotsatira zomwe zili mu US Civil War, monga nthawi zambiri, zimakhala zowawa ndi ife.

Kodi munthu woweruza wamtundu wankhanza wolamulira zachiwerewere wochita zachiwerewere angapitirire ku Khoti Lalikulu la ku United States chifukwa amatha kuchita chiwerewere? Kodi tiyenera kulimbikira kuti wolamulira wachiwerewere wochita zachiwerewere wochita zachiwerewere wochita zachiwerewere amatsutsa mosapita m'mbali kuti akugonana? Umenewu sunali udindo wa aliyense, koma uwu unali mtsutsano womwe unaperekedwa ndi ofalitsa ndi Congress. Kotero, izi ndizo makamaka zokambirana zomwe zapempha ndi maimelo, maimelo, mafoni, okhumudwitsa kumva, otsutsa omwe akukhala m'maofesi a Senate, komanso oitanira alendo ndi oitana ndi olemba makalata. Ngati Kavanaugh anali atatsekeredwa ndipo mkazi yemwe ali kumbuyo kwake adasankhidwa, ndi kovuta kuona momwe kumukhalira kungakhale kotheka. Kutsutsidwa kwathu kwa iye kuyenera kuti kunali kochokera pa zifukwa zambiri zomwe tapeza kuti zovuta.

Tsopano ndithudi akhoza kuponyedwa pambali ndi kuchotsedwa ntchito. Ndiyo njira yokhayo, osati nkhanza zowonongeka, kuti amuchotsere, posakhalitsa kubwereza malamulo oyambirira a US. Koma Nancy Pelosi akutsutsana ndichinyengo, ndipo okhulupirira ambiri a chipembedzo amakhulupirira kuti kumvera ndi chilango ndizo zabwino kwambiri. Nazi zomwe ndikuganiza. Oimira akuyenera kuimira, osamvera malamulo a phwando. Oimira ena omwe sadzipereka kuti apereke chisankho pamaso pa chisankho sangayembekezere kuti abwerere pambuyo pake. Ndipo lingaliro lakuti kukamba za kuperewera kudzachititsa ovotera ku Republican koma osati a Dememokesiti sagwirizana ndi kanthu koma kulingalira ndi zizolowezi zolimba za mantha. Mu 2006 chikhulupiliro chonyenga chakuti mademokero adzamupusitsa Purezidenti Bush adawombera a Democratic, osati a Republican. Mauthenga onse otchuka m'mbiri adalimbikitsa omvera ake, pamene chinyengo chosavomerezeka - chomwe cha Bill Clinton - chimavulaza omvera ake pang'ono. Mapeto omwe angatenge kuchokera pazimenezo sikuti chinyengo nthawi zonse sichikukondedwa, koma amantha aja amakhulupirira kuti ndikofunikira kwambiri kukhala wolakwika kuposa kukhala wopambana.

Chimodzimodzinso ndi matenda ofala a Pencedread, matenda atsopano ndi osadziwika omwe amakhulupirira kuti dziko limene lingagwire akuluakulu a maudindo kuti liwonekere ndi kuwatsitsa m'makutu awo koma kuti Mike Pence ku White House akhale ovuta kwambiri kusiyana ndi mtundu umene abusa amatha kuchita chilichonse chimene amachikonda, komanso momwe makomiti a Congression amavomerezedwa ndi anthu onse omwe amodzi akuvomereza kuti iwo sangathe kulepheretsa pulezidenti kuti ayambe nkhondo ya nyukiliya koma ali ndi chitsanzo cha Donald wanzeru Trump pa mpando wachifumu. Sindigula. Ndikuganiza kuti ndi njira yanzelu yochenjera kwambiri. Ndipo komabe sizingakhale zopanda nzeru nkomwe. Ngati pali chinthu chimodzi chomwe pafupifupi aliyense amadziwa za ndale za US, ndiye kuti vicezidenti wotsogoleli akutsatira ndondomeko ya korona. Ndani sakudziwa zimenezo? Ndikuganiza kuti funso lofunika kwambiri sikuti ndani amene amavala chisoti chachifumu koma ngati tikuloleza kuti likhale korona.

Sindikuganiza kuti kuzindikira kuti dongosolo lonse lapansi loipitsidwa kwambiri limaphatikizapo kapena kuchoka ku luntha lakutsutsa omwe ali mmenemo. Izi zimangowonjezera kuntchito yomwe ikufunika ponena za maphunziro a boma ndi kusintha kwa kayendetsedwe kake. Pamene a Democrats anatenga ambiri mu 2006, Nancy Pelosi adati sadzalolera zolakwika, monga momwe adanenera chisanakhale chisankho - ngakhale titafuna kuganiza kuti mwina akunama kapena tikasintha malingaliro ake. Ndipo Rahm Emanuel adanena kuti a Democrats adzapitirizabe nkhondo ku Iraq - ndikuwongolera - kuti athane nayo (kaya zikutanthauza chiyani) mu 2008. Pokhapokha ngati a Democrats sakuyendetsera ntchito yowonjezereka kusiyana ndi kukhala Trump kapena Pence kapena Kavanaugh, iwo adzafuna kuti anthuwa azitha "kutsutsana." Okhulupirika Achidemokero adzavomerezana, ndipo odziimira okhazikika adzatulutsa chidziwitso kuti chikhale cholakwika -kukonzekera kudzipereka kwa a Democrats, ngakhale a Democrats akutsutsa izo. Ndipo kumeneko tidzakhala: ufumu wachifumu wopanda malire, otsutsa osakhalitsa omwe akusintha pakati pa phwandolo la ufulu ndi phwando lamanja, kufikira pomwe nthawi yomalizirayo idzachoke pa Doomsday Clock.

Kuchita zachiwawa m'dziko loipali ndikumenya nkhondo mopanda chilungamo, koma tikuwona kuti zikhoza kutheka. Tinawona kuti kukana kwa anthu ambiri kumathandiza kuti pakhale kuphulika kwakukulu kwa Syria ku 2013. Tawona gawo lina la anthu a US likukula bwino pa nkhondo ndi msilikali m'zaka zapitazo za 17. Chaka chino tawona anthu anayi a Congress, azimayi onse ndi a Demokarasi onse, opambana pamadera omwe amatsutsana nawo ku phwando lawo, ndipo palibe amene amatsutsa kutsutsana ndi nkhondo, palibe amene akufuna kuthetsa nkhondo zonse, koma onse omwe, atakakamizidwa , lankhulani za nkhondo mwanjira yomwe pafupifupi lero palibe kapena membala wampingo watsopano - kuphatikizapo akazi anayi omwe akutsatira, kuphatikizapo Barbara Lee.

Ayanna Pressley akufuna kupha asilikali ndi 25%. Rashida Tlaib akuuza asilikali kuti "cesspool kwa mabungwe kuti apange ndalama" ndipo akukonzekera kusunthira ndalamazo ku zosowa za anthu komanso zachilengedwe. Ilhan Omar amanenanso kuti nkhondo za ku United States zimakhala zovuta kuti zisawononge dziko la United States. Ndipo Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, atafunsidwa komwe angapeze ndalama kuti agulire zinthu, satsatira Bernie Sanders pansi pa njira yakufa yopereka misonkho, koma akunena kuti adzadula pang'ono bajeti ya asilikali. amaletsa iwo "kodi mungapeze kuti ndalama" mafunso ozizira.

Tsopano, palibe mmodzi wa awa anayi omwe angachitedi zomwe iwo akunena, ndipo kudabwa kwamtendere monga Congressman Ro Khanna akhoza kukhala woimira mtendere popanda kulonjezedwa kukhala, koma mwachiwerengero ndizosatheka. Anthu omwe amakhala okonzeka kuti azikhala mwamtendere ku ofesi ya boma ndi omwe amalankhula poyera ngati kuti sakufunira zida za zida zilizonse pamaphunziro awo, andikhululukire ndikupereka zopereka.

Kodi Donald Trump ayenera kupita ku Congress malinga ndi lamulo asanawatumize zida ku Syria? Ayi. Ndinapita kuchitika pomwe Senator Tim Kaine adanena izi. Sindikuvomereza. Congress iyenera kuti ikanaletsa, kudula ndalama iliyonse, ndi kuopseza zachinyengo pa nkhondoyo, nkhondo ya Yemen, ndi nkhondo zina zonse. Koma Trump kupita ku Congress kuti chilolezo chalamulo chowombera anthu ku Syria ndi chinyengo choopsa. Congress ilibe mphamvu yakuchitira milandu malamulo. Ndinapempha Setezi Kaine za izi. Mukhoza kuyang'ana pa tsamba langa la Youtube. Ndinamufunsa momwe Congress ingakhalire ovomerezeka ndi kuphwanya Mgwirizano wa UN ndi Kact ya Kellogg-Briand. Anavomereza kuti izo sizingatheke, ndipo pomwepo ndipo mwadzidzidzi adabwereranso kudzanena kuti Trump ayenera kubwera ku Congress kuti adziwitse milandu yake. Ngati dziko la Canada lidawombera Berkeley kudzanja lanu ngati mutasamala ngati bwalo lamilandu kapena nduna yayikulu adachita. Palibe chomwe chinapindula ponena kuti Congress ikhoza kulemba malamulo ophwanya malamulo. Sikofunika kuti Congress ipewe kapena kuthetsa nkhondo; Ndipotu zimagwirizana ndi cholinga chimenecho.

Zimakhudza momwe timayankhulira. Tikamenyana ndi chida chifukwa sichigwira bwino ntchito, kapena nkhondo chifukwa imachokera ku gulu losakonzekera nkhondo zina, sitimayambitsa nkhondo yothetsa nkhondo zonse. Ndipo sizili mwa njira iliyonse zothandizira kuti tithe kumapeto. Ndimadzimangirira tokha pamapazi.

Timasowa nthawi pamene timaganizira ndi kulimbana ndi kayendetsedwe ka mitundu yosiyanasiyana kuti tipewe nkhondo. Makina a nkhondo a ku America akupha makamaka kupyolera mu ndalama. Zigawo zing'onozing'ono za ndalama za US za nkhondo zitha kuthetsa njala kapena kusowa kwa madzi akumwa abwino padziko lapansi kapena kuyesetsa kwambiri kutetezera zachilengedwe kusiyana ndi magulu a zachilengedwe akulota. Pakalipano asilikali ndi mmodzi wa owononga kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, ndipo wapatsidwa chidutswa ndi mapangano ndi ovomerezeka. Koleji yaulere sichidzapindula kuposa Pentagon nthawi zonse "zopanda pake." Kuchitira nkhanza zomwe magulu a ufulu wotsutsana ndi boma amatsutsa zimayendetsedwa ndi usilikali omwe sanena. Tidzakhala ndi mgwirizano wamphamvu kwambiri wokhudzana ndi magulu osiyanasiyana ngati mabungwe ambiri ogwira ntchito pazifukwa zabwino sanawopsezedwe kwambiri ndi mbendera ndi nyimbo za fuko. Kuti, kuwonjezera pa kupha anthu akupha, ndi chifukwa chake enafe timasangalala pamene othamanga akugwada. Tikufuna kuwona Sierra Club kapena ACLU kupeza kulimba mtima komweko komanso kusewera monga mpira wa mpira.

Zina mwazolimbikitsa kwambiri m'zaka zaposachedwa zakhala anthu akuyendayenda m'mabwalo a ndege ndi kwina kulimbana ndi chiletso cha Muslim ndi kuteteza othawa kwawo. Ndizochititsa manyazi kuti nkhaŵa yomweyo siinapangidwe kuti ateteze ogwidwa ndi mabomba - ngakhale titakhala ndi kanema ka ana aang'ono pa basi - ndikuletsa chiwonongeko chomwe chimapangitsa anthu kukhala othawa kwawo.

Takhala tikuuziridwa ndi ophunzira a kusekondale akutsutsa mfutiyi pamsasa waukulu ku Florida. Koma iwo anadzudzula mwamtheradi mwa kunena konse kuti wakuphayo anaphunzitsidwa ndi ankhondo a US ku sukulu ya sukulu ndipo anali kuvala malaya ake a ROTC pamene anachita kupha anthu ambiri sanaganizidwe pang'ono. Kupititsa patsogolo mavidiyo omwe amati asilikali ndi apolisi ayenera kukhala ndi mfuti pomwe ena sayenera kutsutsa pang'ono zomwe ndikuzidziwa.

Zinali zosangalatsa zaka zitatu zapitazo kuona mgwirizano pakati pa United States ndi mayiko ena ndi Iran akugonjetsa kulira kwa Iran. Koma mbali imodzi yonyenga idanena kuti Iran ikutsatira zida za nyukiliya ndipo iyenera kuti iwononge mabomba, pamene mbali inayo inanamizira kuti Iran ikutsatira zida za nyukiliya ndipo sayenera kuphulika mabomba koma kuyendera. Tsopano kuti kufufuza kwawonetsa zomwe zinali kale zowoneka, kuti Iran sakhala ikutsatira zida za nyukiliya, pali anthu ochepa omwe angathe kumva zimenezo. Ndipo Israeli, omwe ali ndi zida za nyukiliya koma palibe kuyendera, ndi ogwirizana nawo mu boma la US ali ndi anthu a US ku malo abwino kwa zigawenga za nkhondo za Iran kuposa momwe panganoli lisanafike. Ndipo ndikukuuzani apolisi chifukwa cha ndondomeko zake zobiriwira: zidzakonzanso 100% zachinyengo cha Iraq ku Iran.

Pamene Trump inali kuopseza ku Korea, ambiri ankatsutsa mwamphamvu. Koma pamene adapanga kuyenda kulimbikitsa mtendere, anthu amodzimodziwo ankatsutsa molimba mtima. Ngakhale kuti mikono ndi ma sitima a United States ambiri amatsenga a dziko lapansi, kungoyankhula ndi mmodzi ku North Korea ndi tchimo kotero kuti kukana kwakukulu kungapangitse kuti awonongeke ngati Trump ikulola kuti Koreya apange mtendere kapena apite patsogolo ndi kupanga izo popanda iye.

Ndipo chonde - ndikudziwa ndikupempha pachabe - koma musandiyambe pa Russiaagate. Kodi ndikuganiza kuti Putin ali ndi chiani chomwe chingachititse manyazi Donald Trump, mwamuna yemwe amadzichititsa manyazi mwachangu tsiku ndi tsiku mwanjira iliyonse yomwe iye amawerengera amathandizira kwambiri kuwerengera pazomwe akuwonetsa kuti akuganiza kuti akukhala? Ndi gawo liti lomwe lagulitsidwa ndi kulipidwa, loyeretsedwa, lodziwika, lodziwika, lovota voti, chiwawa chotsogoleredwa ndi wokondedwa, chisankhulidwe chosasunthika cha chisankho cha mabulosi ndikuyenera kuganiza kuti chavunditsidwa ndi malonda a Facebook omwe ali pafupi palibe amene adawona koma kuteteza zomwe zimatsegula intaneti kuti ziwonetsere mphamvu zomwe zimatsutsa mphamvu? Tsopano tawonani, inu munapita ndipo munayamba kundiyambitsa.

Chabwino, kotero ife tikuchita zinthu zina zolakwika. Kodi tiyenera kuchita chiyani? Tiyenera kugwira ntchito m'madera ndi m'mayiko onse, osagwira ntchito molimbika komanso osadziwikiratu tokha kudziko lonse.

World BEYOND War ikugwira ntchito pazinthu zingapo kuphatikiza pa maphunziro. Imodzi ndiyo kutseka maziko, omwe amalola anthu padziko lonse kugwirizanitsa zoyesayesa zathu. Chimodzi ndi kupatukana kwa zida, zomwe zingabweretse anthu pamodzi kuti apambane popambana - kuphatikizapo ku Berkeley - ndipo panthawi imodzimodziyo amaphunzitsa anthu komanso amadana nawo phindu kuchokera kupha.

Tiyenera kukhala osasamala komanso odzipereka poyera kuti tisakhale achisoni muzonse zomwe timachita. Mphamvu yomwe ingabwere chifukwa chochita izo pamlingo waukulu ikhoza kukhala yaikulu kuposa momwe ife tikuganizira.

Ndipo tiyenera kudera nkhawa za chiyembekezo kapena kukhumudwa ndi nkhawa ngati tikugwira ntchito pamodzi mwanzeru komanso molimbika. Ntchito yokhayo, monga Camus Sisisphus adanena, ndiyo kusangalala kwathu. Izi zikukwaniritsa pamene tikuchita palimodzi komanso momwe tingathe, kuti tipeze bwino momwe tingakhalire. Kaya tikulongosola kuti kupambana kapena kulephera sikofunika, ndipo zinthu zoipazo zimakhalapo, chifukwa chachikulu chomwe tiyenera kugwira ntchito, osati chochepa. Kusintha kwakukulu kawirikawiri kumabwera mofulumira padziko lapansi, koma nthawi zonse chifukwa chakuti anthu adzipatulira kuti agwire ntchitoyi mwamphamvu kwambiri kotero kuti iwo analibe nthawi yowopsya ndi chiyembekezo kapena kukhumudwa. Izi ndizomwe sitingazipeze pakali pano. Ngati zimenezi sizikulimbikitsani, mwina kuwerenga Joanna Macy kudzakuthandizani! Koma njira imodzi kapena imzake timasowa aliyense mu chipinda ichi ndi mamiliyoni ena kunja kwake pa sitimayo ndi yogwira ntchito kuchokera pano kupita kunja. Tiyeni timalize nkhondo tonse palimodzi.
