kuchokera Magasinet Motvind
Tikukhala mu nthawi yowunikira, kumene uthenga wochokera kumbali zonse za dziko lapansi ukupezeka pang'onopang'ono. Mavuto a dziko lapansi adayikidwa patsogolo pathu, pamene ife tikudutsa kudyetsa chakudya pa tebulo lakummawa. Nthawi zina zikhoza kuoneka ngati tikukhazikika pansi, podziwa zokwanira kutilimbikitsa kuti tisinthe, kapena kudziwa zambiri zomwe zimatifooketsa ndikutifooketsa.
Tikayang'ana kuchuluka kwa zachilengedwe ndi zachilengedwe zomwe mitundu yathu ikukumana nazo, chiyambi cha nkhondo chiri pamtima pa vutoli. Nkhondo ndi chifukwa chachikulu cha kuwonongeka kwa ufulu wadziko, maziko a zankhondo za apolisi apanyumba, chothandizira tsankho ndi tsankho, Zotsatira za chikhalidwe cha chiwawa chomwe chimayambitsa miyoyo yathu kudzera mu masewero a kanema ndi mafilimu a Hollywood (ambiri omwe amawathandizidwa, kuwatsatiridwa, ndi olembedwa ndi asilikali a US kuti awonetse nkhondo mu kuwala kwamanyazi), komanso chothandizira chachikulu kwa othawa kwawo padziko lonse ndi mavuto a nyengo.
Mamiliyoni a hekta ku Ulaya, North Africa, ndi Asia akutsutsidwa chifukwa cha mabomba okwana mamiliyoni makumi asanu ndi mabomba a masango kumbuyo kwa nkhondo. Mazanamazana a zida zankhondo kuzungulira dziko lapansi amasiya kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe kwa nthaka, madzi, mpweya, ndi nyengo. "Dipatimenti ya Chitetezo" ku United States inatulutsa CO2 yambiri mu 2016 kuposa mitundu ina ya 160 padziko lonse lapansi kuphatikiza.
Ndilo mandala onsewa, akuwonetseratu kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa nkhondo ndi kusalinganizana, tsankho, ndi chiwonongeko cha chilengedwe, chomwe chinandichokera ku ntchito ya World BEYOND War. Yakhazikitsidwa mu 2014, World BEYOND War adachokera kufunikira kwa kayendetsedwe kadziko ka dziko kamene kamatsutsana kwambiri ndi bungwe lonse la nkhondo - mitundu yonse ya nkhondo, nkhanza, ndi zida - ndikupatsanso njira zina zotetezera chitetezo, zomwe zimakhazikitsidwa ndi mtendere ndi chiwonongeko.
Zaka zisanu pambuyo pake, anthu masauzande ambiri ochokera kumayiko a 175 padziko lonse lapansi asaina Chikalata cha Mtendere, akulonjeza kuti adzagwira ntchito mopanda chiwawa world beyond war. Tapanga zida zingapo kuti tithandizire zonena za nkhondo ndikupereka njira zowonongera chitetezo, kuthana ndi mikangano mopanda chiwawa, ndikulimbikitsa chikhalidwe chamtendere. Mapulogalamu athu amaphatikizira buku lathu, owerenga ndi owongolera zochita, mndandanda wa masamba awebusayiti, maphunziro a pa intaneti, ndi projekiti yamakalata apadziko lonse lapansi. Takhazikitsa zikwangwani padziko lonse lapansi kuti tiwone kuti nkhondo ndi $ 2 trilioni pachaka bizinesi, bizinesi yomwe imadzilimbitsa yokha popanda phindu lililonse kupatula phindu lazachuma. Chotsatsa chathu chachikulu chotsitsa nsagwada: "Ndi 3% yokha mwa ndalama zankhondo zaku US - kapena 1.5% ya ndalama zankhondo padziko lonse lapansi - akhoza kuthetsa njala padziko lapansi. "
Pamene tikulimbana ndi chidziwitso chodabwitsa ichi, ndikufuna kupanga kusintha kosinthika pofuna kuthana ndi nkhondo, umphaŵi, tsankho, chiwonongeko cha zinthu, ndi zina zambiri, ndikofunikira kuti tithe kuphatikiza mauthenga ndi njira zotsutsana, ndi mbiri ndi moyo wa chidziwitso . Monga wokonzekera, nthawi zambiri ndimapeza mayankho ochokera kwa olimbikitsa ndi odzipereka omwe amatenthedwa ndi kupempha kosalekeza ndi kukumbatirana, ndi zotsatira zozizira pang'onopang'ono. Zochita izi zotsutsa, kulengeza kusintha kwa ndondomeko kuchokera kwa osankhidwa osankhidwa, ndi gawo lalikulu la ntchito yofunikira kutilowetsa ku njira ina yodzitetezera yapadziko lonse, imodzi yomwe malamulo ndi mabungwe a boma amayendetsera chilungamo pa phindu.
Komabe, sikokwanira nokha kuti musayine mapemphero, pitani kumisonkhano, ndipo muitane akuluakulu anu osankhidwa. Pogwirizana ndi ndondomeko zotsitsimutsa ndi mabungwe olamulira, tiyenera kumanganso malo, kubwereranso njira zomwe timagwiritsira ntchito - njira za ulimi, kupanga, kayendedwe ndi mphamvu - osati kungochepetsera zokhazokha, koma kuwonjezera, miyambo ya chikhalidwe ndi kubwezeretsanso chuma cham'deralo. Njira yabwino yopangira kusintha, kudzera mu zosankha za moyo ndi kumanga midzi, ndi yofunika, chifukwa imatipatsa ife njira yothetsera yekha. Chimodzimodzinso ndi mfundo zathu zandale ndi zosankha zathu za tsiku ndi tsiku, ndipo, makamaka, zimatiyandikira njira yowonjezera yomwe tikufuna kuiwona. Zimapereka bungwe m'manja mwathu, kuti pamene tikupempha anthu osankhidwa kuti asinthe, timatenganso miyoyo yathu kuti tizitha kukhazikitsa chilungamo ndi kukhalitsa, pobwezeretsa komanso kupeza malo okhala ndi moyo.
Kupatukana ndi njira imodzi yomwe imaphatikizapo kukana ndi kumanganso. World BEYOND War ndi membala woyambitsa Wopambana kuchokera ku War Machine Coalition, pulojekiti yomwe ikufuna kutenga phindu kunja kwa nkhondo mwa kugawanitsa ndalama zapadera, zapangidwe, ndi za boma kuchokera zida zankhondo ndi makampani opanga zankhondo. Chigawo chapadera cha ntchitoyi ndi gawo lachiwiri, repinvestment. Monga ndalama zapagulu ndi zapadera zomwe sizinagulitsidwe m'makampani omwe amapereka zida zankhondo, ndalamazo ziyenera kubwezeretsedwa m'magulu ogwira ntchito omwe amachititsa kuti pakhale chitukuko, kupatsa mphamvu magulu, ndi zina zambiri. Dola la dola, a University of Massachusetts kuphunzira kulembetsa kuti kuyendetsa chuma m'mafakitale amtendere monga chithandizo cha umoyo, maphunziro, kuyenda kwakukulu, ndi zomangamanga zikhoza kupanga ntchito zambiri ndipo nthawi zambiri, ntchito zowonjezera bwino kuposa momwe angagwiritsire ntchito ndalamazo pa usilikali.
Monga cholowera chotsutsa, kupatukana kumapereka njira zambiri zothandizira. Choyamba, aliyense payekha, tikhoza kufufuza komwe tili mabanki, mabungwe ati omwe tikugulitsa, ndi ndondomeko za ndalama za mabungwe omwe timapereka. Zokonzedwa ndi Pamene Mukufesa ndi CODEPINK, WeaponFreeFunds.org ndi deta yosanthula yomwe imakhala ndi makampani a mgwirizano wa ndalama ndi anthu ochulukirapo omwe agwidwa zida ndi nkhondo. Koma kupitirira payekha, kupatukana kumapereka mpata wopanga kusintha kosasinthika, pa chikhalidwe kapena boma. Pogwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zathu, monga olowa nawo, mipingo, ophunzira, ogwira ntchito, ovota ndi okhometsa msonkho, tikhoza kukonza mapulogalamu opondereza mabungwe ndi magulu a mitundu yonse, kuchokera ku mipingo ndi mzikiti, ku mayunivesite, ku mgwirizano, ndi kuzipatala, kusintha ndondomeko zawo zachuma. Zotsatira za kupatukana - kusunthira ndalama - ndi cholinga chokhazikitsidwa mwachindunji pa kukhazikitsidwa kwa nkhondo, pochepetsa mfundo zake, ndi kuzinyoza, pamodzi ndi maboma ndi mabungwe omwe amapanga nawo nkhondo. Pa nthawi yomweyi, kupatukana kumatipatsa ife, monga olimbikitsa milandu, ndi bungwe kuti tiwone momwe tikufunira kubwezeretsa ndalama kuti zikulitse chikhalidwe chomwe tikufuna kuchiwona.
Pamene tiyang'anizana ndi magulu a nkhondo, tikhoza kugwira ntchitoyi kuzinthu zina za moyo wathu, kufotokoza tanthauzo la kupatulidwa komanso njira zodzidzimangira ndi kusintha kwabwino. Popanda kusintha kayendedwe ka banki, njira zina zoyambirira ndikuphatikizapo kusintha komwe timagula, zomwe timadya, ndi momwe timaperekera miyoyo yathu. Kupanga zosankha za tsiku ndi tsiku ndi njira yowonetsera, ndi zotsatira zowonongeka pa ndondomeko ya mgwirizano ndi boma. Tikasintha njira zathu zothandizira kuti tisakhale ndi zinthu zokhazikika, zodzikongoletsera, timapatukana ndi mafakitale owonjezera komanso ogwira ntchito, ndikudzipereka ku njira ina yochokera kuntchito, zachuma, komanso kugawa katundu kuti tipewe kuwononga zachilengedwe ndikuwonjezera kupindula kwanuko. Zosankhazi zimagwirizanitsa moyo ndi malingaliro athu adatsimikiziridwa kupyolera mu zandale komanso zochitika zapadera. Ndikofunika kwambiri kuti tigwire ntchitoyi "yokonzanso bwino," panthawi imodzimodzi yomwe timalimbikitsa, kupempha, ndikugwirizanitsa ntchito zowonongeka kwazitsulo zomangidwe, kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka utsogoleri, ndi ndondomeko zamakhalidwe zomwe zimapangitsa nkhondo, kusokonekera kwa nyengo, ndi chisalungamo.
Nkhondo, ndi kukonzekera nkhondo, monga kusungidwa kwa zida ndi kukhazikitsidwa kwa zida zankhondo, kumangirira mabiliyoni madola chaka chilichonse chomwe chikhoza kubweretsedwa ku zitukuko ndi zachilengedwe, monga thanzi, maphunziro, madzi abwino, kusintha kwa chitukuko, kusintha kwa mphamvu zowonjezereka, kulenga ntchito, kupereka malipiro abwino, ndi zina zambiri. Ndipo ngakhale kuti anthu adakalibe chifukwa cha chuma, nkhondo za boma zimapangitsa kuti ndalama zisagwirizane, pochotsa ndalama zapadera ku mafakitale osungirako ndalama, kupitiliza chuma kuzipinda zing'onozing'ono. Mwachidule, kukhazikitsidwa kwa nkhondo ndi cholepheretsa kusintha kulikonse komwe tikufuna kuwona m'dzikoli, ndipo pamene kulipo, kumalimbikitsa chisokonezo cha nyengo, zachikhalidwe, zachikhalidwe, ndi zachuma. Koma kuwonetsa kwake ndi kukula kwake kwa makina a nkhondo sikuyenera kutilepheretsa ife kuchita ntchito yomwe iyenera kuchitika. Kudzera World BEYOND WarKumayambiriro koyambitsa, mgwirizanowu, ndi mawebusaiti a mayiko ena, tikutsogolera ntchito zolekanitsa nkhondo, kutseka makompyuta a zankhondo, ndikusintha njira yopangira mtendere. Kukulitsa chikhalidwe cha mtendere sikungapangitse njira zowonjezereka zokhazikitsira kusintha kwa ndondomeko ndi kayendetsedwe ka boma, pochita mgwirizano ndi kukonzanso chuma cham'deralo, kuchepetsa kugwiritsidwa ntchito, ndi luso lokulitsa zokwanira.
