Buyela kwiKamva: Ukuchasa ngokuBambisana, amandla okuDemocrat

Rhoqo ngonyaka ukubhiyozela uSuku lweNkululeko, ndibukela ifilimu ethi 1776, esekwe kumdlalo weBroadway. Isekelwe ekubhalweni kweSibhengezo seNkululeko. Ukuba uyayazi imbali yakho, ihlekisa ngokufanelekileyo kwintsomi yethu yokusungula. Ikwandikhumbuza neemeko awayephila phantsi kwazo la madoda yaye indenza ndibe nombulelo ongazenzisiyo ngeefestile ezikhandiweyo, iifeni zombane, neepeni zokubhala. Ayisoze isilele ukundenza ndicinge ngayo yonke into-ukuba ibinokwenzeka okanye ebekufanele ukuba yenzeke ukusukela ngoJulayi 4, 1776.

Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kwezi yile: Kuthekani ukuba uMgaqo-siseko wase-US ubuluxwebhu lwamalungelo oluntu olusekelwe kwiSibhengezo seNkululeko endaweni yoxwebhu lwamalungelo omhlaba olusekelwe kwiimfuno zamadoda amhlophe azizityebi? Iyayimangalisa ingqondo yam ukuba kwiminyaka nje elishumi emifutshane, abantu baseMelika bokuqala bavelisa iSibhengezo kunye noMgaqo-siseko wase-US, amaxwebhu amabini aphantse anganxulumananga ngokupheleleyo. Okubangela umdla ngakumbi, amazwe alishumi elinesithathu ayesele eyibhalile imiGaqo-siseko yawo ngexesha lokubhalwa koMgaqo-siseko wase-US, kwaye loo maxwebhu ubukhulu becala ayenedemokhrasi eqatha. Kweneke ntoni?

Idemokhrasi zaphulukana nengxoxo. UThomas Paine, uGeorge Mason, uPatrick Henry, ukubalula nje abambalwa, banikela ubomi babo kulwakhiwo lwedemokhrasi kwaye balwa ngamandla ukuyifaka kuMgaqo-siseko. UPaine wabhala:

Xa kunokuthiwa nakweliphi na ilizwe emhlabeni, amahlwempu am onwabile, akufunyanwa kukungazi nantlupheko phakathi kwawo, iintolongo zam azinabanjwa, izitrato zam zabangqibi, abantu abadala abasweli nto, irhafu ihlazekile. hayi ingcinezelo, ilizwe elinengqiqo ngumhlobo wam kuba ndingumhlobo wolonwabo. Xa ezi zinto zinokuthethwa, ngamana elo lizwe lingazingca ngomgaqo-siseko walo nangorhulumente walo. Ukuzimela lulonwabo lwam, ihlabathi lilizwe lam kwaye inkolo yam kukwenza okulungileyo.

Imigudu yabo edityaniswe neminye emininzi yanyanzelisa uMqulu Wamalungelo kuMgaqo-siseko—njengezilungiso. KuMgaqo-siseko wokuqala, Thina Bantu sasingenamalungelo. Mvumele lowo angene ngaphakathi ukuze ukwazi ukunika impendulo efanelekileyo kwixesha elizayo xa usiva igosa likarhulumente lichazwa njengomntu ongqongqo kumgaqo-siseko - loo mntu ufuna ukukuhlutha amalungelo akho ukuba awungomhlophe, uyindoda, kwaye usisityebi!

Ukubuyela kwixesha elizayo, uMgaqo-siseko wethu uye wavelisa ngokwenene "umzila omde wokuxhatshazwa kunye nokuhluthwa" ngokuchasene Thina Bantu, ngendlela efanayo uKumkani uGeorge wayecinezela amakoloni. Ngobunzima obuninzi, Thina Bantu ngoku sibandakanya uninzi lwethu, kodwa Thina Bantu kunye norhulumente esimqeshileyo sikwinjongo ehlukeneyo. Bekunokuthini ukuba besinedemokhrasi enentatho-nxaxheba eyiyo? Kuthekani ukuba amagosa ethu anyuliweyo amele ngokwenene abantu endaweni yeenkampani-ipropati ngoku elawula ilizwe?

Bekunokuthini ukuba ootata abaseki bedemokhrasi bebeyiphumelele ingxoxo-mpikiswano ngexesha leNkongolo yesiBini yoMgaqo-siseko? Loo mpendulo iya kusibaleka ngonaphakade, kodwa ayifanelanga isithintele ekuzameni ukuwenza lo mbono.

Kuthekani ukuba iidemokhrasi zidibene namhlanje ukuze zenze idemokhrasi yokwenene? Bekunokuthini ukuba uMgaqo-siseko ubuluxwebhu lwedemokhrasi? Kuthekani ukuba idemokhrasi ibikho kuqoqosho lwethu, ezikolweni, nakumajelo eendaba? Kuthekani ngamalungelo endalo? Yonke le mibuzo ineempendulo, enokufunyanwa isebenza ngokubambisana eMinneapolis, ngo-Agasti 2-6, Iintlanganiso zeNtando yesininzi Nangaphezulu.

Le asiyondibano yamaqela. Ayixhaswanga ngamaqela ezopolitiko okanye ngabasebenzi bawo. Ayixhaswa yimidla eyodwa yeshishini. Idemokhrasi encinci “d” idibana ukuze ivelise intshukumo yedemokhrasi ukuze isithembiso senguqulelo kaPaine yeDemokhrasi yaseMelika esekwe kumalungelo oluntu sifezekiswe. INgqungquthela yeDemokhrasi ziinkomfa ezisibhozo ezahlukeneyo phantsi kophahla olunye, kwaye ifikeleleka ngendlela emangalisayo, ukwenza kube lula ukuba wonke umntu abekho.

Sathenjiswa ngedemokhrasi kwaye sifanelwe yiyo. Kuwo wonke umntu okhathazekileyo malunga neTrump, ingxaki yemozulu, ukhathalelo lwempilo, imfundo, i-MIC, uphononongo, iPIC, ukudityaniswa kwemithombo yeendaba, inkululeko ye-Intanethi, njl. Iintlanganiso zeNtando yesininzi yindawo yokuhlangana nabantu abanengqondo efanayo abalungele ukusonga imikhono baze baqalise umsebenzi wokwakha intshukumo yedemokhrasi yokwenyani.

Siyazi ukuba uMgaqo-siseko wase-US luxwebhu lwamalungelo epropathi, ukuba iinkampani ziyipropathi kwaye zikwalawula iindima eziphambili zikarhulumente, kwaye amagosa ethu anyuliweyo ubukhulu becala awameleli iimfuno zaBantu. Inkqubo iphulwe ngokupheleleyo kwaye yaphulwe ngokupheleleyo, kwaye kuphela Thina Bantu, njengabalingane bethu bedemokhrasi yaseMelika yeNguquko, sinamandla okuyilungisa. Iza phantsi ekulweleni okulungileyo kwaye iyeyethu sele: ukuchasa jikelele kunye namandla edemokhrasi.

UGeorge Mason wabhala:

Sonke Sethu siseMngciphekweni, kwaye izinto ezincinci kunye neeNtuthuzelo zoBomi, xa zisekwe kuKhuphiswano neNkululeko yethu, zifanele ukwaliwa kungekuko ukuThandaza kodwa ngolonwabo.

Kuthekani ukuba amakholoni anamabona kude? Ngaba bekuya kubakho uVukelo lwaseMelika? Ndikunye noPaine, uMason kunye nabanye abaseki bethu bedemokhrasi entloko nasentliziyweni yam, ndibuyela kwixesha elizayo nge-2-6 ka-Agasti. Iintlanganiso zeNtando yesininzi!
