Omabini amaqela afaka iipokotho zawo kunye nengeniso evela kurhwebo lwezixhobo.
NguMedea Benjamin, Elliot Swain, ngoFebruwari 5, 2018, AlterNet.
Kwiingxoxo zohlahlo lwabiwo-mali zamva nje, i-Senate Democrats vu nyelwene ukunyusa inkcitho yomkhosi egqithise kwi-cap ye-fiscal 2018 nge-70 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, okuzisa isicelo esipheleleyo kwi-716 yeebhiliyoni zeedola. Ngokungathintelekiyo, oku kuthetha ukuba ngaphezulu kweekontraka zePentagon ziya kunikwa iinkampani zabucala ezisebenzisa imfazwe engapheliyo ukumisa iipokotho zazo. Iidemokhrasi ziye zavuma kolu lwando lukhulu ngaphandle kokuxambulisana. Kodwa eli nyathelo alinakumangalisa, kuba ingakanani imali ephuma kubenzi bezixhobo isiya kwingxowa yamaphulo engqungquthela yawo omabini amaqela.
Ngelixa uninzi lwezixhobo zemali ziya kumaRiphabhlikhi, iiSenators zeDemokhrasi uTim Kaine kunye noBill Nelson babonakala kwi abafumana phezulu abalishumi yeminikelo yephulo-kuwo omabini amagumbi kunye namaqela-ukusuka kwiikontraka zomkhosi ngo-2017 kunye no-2018. Northrop Grumman wanikaI-$ 785,000 kubaviwa beDemokhrasi ukususela ngo-2017. u-Hillary Clinton wathatha ngaphezu kwe-1 yezigidi zeedola kushishino ngo-2016. Elizabeth Warren kwaye UBernie Sanders thatha imali kubavelisi bezixhobo, kunye noSanders zixhaswe Intlekele ye-Boeing ye-F-35 ngenxa yokuba ilizwe lakhe lasekhaya linesabelo sezemali kwinkqubo.
Ukuba akukho qela liphambili lezopolitiko liya kumelana nale meko ikhoyo, yintoni enokwenziwa?
Impendulo enye inokufumaneka kusuku lwamva nje lokuphuma kwiinkampani zamafutha efosili ezenziwe, phakathi kwezinye, Norowe kwaye City New York. NgoDisemba ka-2016, Ngama-688 amaziko, emele ngaphezu kwe-5 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwizinto ze-asethi, ziye zahlukana kumafutha efosili. Kwi udliwanondlebe neThe Guardian, umbhali uNaomi Klein wachaza iinzame zokulahla amafutha eefosili “njengenkqubo yokunika igunya” eli candelo nokungqina ukuba livelisa “ingeniso engathandekiyo.”
Iphulo elifana nelo lokunika igunya abaxhamli bemfazwe sele lide ligqitywe. Ukongeza ekunyanzeliseni amalungu ethu eNkongolo ukuba ale iminikelo yephulo evela kubavelisi bezixhobo kunye nabaxhasi bemfazwe, kufuneka senze umzamo wokunciphisa kwinqanaba lamaziko kunye nomasipala. Utyalo-mali emfazweni kufuneka luze ngexabiso lehlazo loluntu.
Abafundi baseYunivesithi banokucela ulwazi lokubamba kwizikolo zabo. Rhoqo, utyalo-mali kwiinkampani zasemkhosini zidityaniswa zibe zizixhobo zemali ezintsonkothileyo utyalo-mali lwazo aluchazwanga esidlangalaleni. Umxholo wezi zixhobo unokumiselwa ngokuqhagamshelana nebhodi yeyunivesithi yabaphathiswa okanye umphathi we-endowment. Emva koko iphulo lokuqhawula umtshato linokusungulwa, ukwakha imanyano yabafundi, ukuyila amaxwebhu ezikhalazo, ukuququzelela izenzo ezithe ngqo kunye nokuphunyezwa kwezigqibo ngamaqumrhu karhulumente wabafundi. Isikhokelo esiluncedo samatsha ntliziyo angabafundi sinokufunyanwa Apha.
Amatshantliziyo anokuqalisa iinzame zokwahlulwa kukamasipala ngokumisela ingxowa-mali yomhlalaphantsi yesixeko, into eluncedo, okanye ye-inshorensi. Ngo-2017 iNkomfa yeeMeya zase-US, umbutho wesizwe wezixeko ezinabantu abangaphezu kwama-30,000, yamkele isisombululo ukuvuma imfuno yokuguqula izinto eziphambili zenkxaso-mali kude nemfazwe kunye noluntu lwasekuhlaleni. Amaphulo okwahlukana angasixhasa esi sigqibo ukuze kubanjwe iinkokeli zesixeko ngokwelizwi lazo. Ulwazi oluthe kratya lwamatsha ntliziyo kwinqanaba lesixeko luyafumaneka Apha.
I-Divestment inikezela ngenye indlela yokujongana nomonakalo wemfazwe yokwenza inzuzo kwixesha apho iindlela zezopolitiko zemveli ziye zavalwa ngabameli bethu abanomdla. Ikwazisa umyalezo kuluntu oluncinci-uluntu oluwohlokayo ngelixa iikontraka zokhuselo zihlala kubunewunewu.
Umdibaniso omtsha wamaqela amalunga nama-70 kulo lonke ilizwe uye waqulunqa ukusungula iphulo le-Divest From the War Machine. Lo mfelandawonye umema bonke abo bacekisekayo ngabaxhamli bemfazwe ukuba bancede iyunivesiti, isixeko, ipenshini kunye namaziko enkolo ukuba bahlukane nemfazwe.

Kwintetho ka-2015 kwiNkongolo yase-US, eyona Nkongolo ibonakale kumatshini wemfazwe, uPope Francis wabuza ukuba kutheni izixhobo ezibulalayo zithengiswa kwabo babangela ukubandezeleka okungathethekiyo eluntwini. Wathi, impendulo yayiyimali, “imali ezele ligazi, ngokufuthi ligazi elimsulwa.” Ejonge kwigumbi elizele ngabantu beCongress abaxhamla kwinto awayibiza ngokuba “ngabarhwebi bokufa,” uPapa wabiza ukupheliswa korhwebo lwezixhobo. Enye indlela yokuthobela ubizo lukaPopu kukutya iingeniso zabo babulala ngokubulala.
