Intetho Eyingozi: Xa i-Progressives Ivakala njengeDemagogue

NguNorman Solomon | Juni 5, 2017.

Ulawulo lukaTrump sele lwenze umonakalo omkhulu kwi-United States nakwiplanethi. Endleleni, uTrump uye wabangela ukuba uninzi lwabaphambili abadumileyo bajongele phantsi intetho yabo yezopolitiko. Kuxhomekeke kuthi ukuba sicele umngeni kwiziphumo ezonakalisayo ze-hyperbole yesiqhelo kunye ne-demagoguery.

 Qwalasela i-rhetoric evela kwelinye lawona malungu athembisayo eNdlu, u-Democrat Jamie Raskin, kwindibano ekufutshane ne-Washington Monument ngempelaveki. Efunda kwisicatshulwa esilungisiweyo, uRaskin wothuka ngokubhengeza ukuba "uDonald Trump yinkohliso eyenziwa ngabantu baseMelika ngamaRussia." Kungekudala inkongolo yabiza amazwe awahlukahlukeneyo anjengeHungary, iiPhilippines, iSyria neVenezuela, ibe ngoko nangoko yathi: “Bonke abacinezeli, oozwilakhe neekleptocrat baye bafumanana, yaye uVladimir Putin uyinkokeli yehlabathi elingenankululeko.”

 Kamva, wabuza malunga neempazamo zokwenyani kweyakhe intetho, Raskin floundered ngexesha ifilimu udliwanondlebe kunye Neendaba zokwenyani. Yintoni ngoku eyiboilerplate yeDemocratic Party bombast malunga neRussia ayinanto yakwenza neenyani eziqinisekisiweyo kwaye ininzi yokwenza neendawo zokuthetha zamaqela.

 Kwangaloo mini wayethetha ngayo uRaskin, owayesakuba nguNobhala wezeMisebenzi oqhubekayo uRobert Reich wabonakala encotsheni yewebhusayithi yakhe. inqaku Ubhale ngesihloko esithi "Ubugcisa beTrump-Putin Deal." Esi siqwenga sasinezinto ezifanayo eziye zathiyelwa ngabantu abaqhubela phambili kule minyaka idlulileyo xa bevela kubahlalutyi bephiko lasekunene kunye namagqwirha. Ubuchwephesha obugutyungelwe lixesha yayiyingoma emibini, enyanisweni: Andikwazi ukubonisa ukuba yinyani, kodwa masiqhubeke ngokungathi kunjalo.

 Isikhokelo sesiqwenga sikaReich sasikrelekrele. Indlela ekrelekrele kakhulu: "Yithi unguVladimir Putin, kwaye wenze isivumelwano noTrump kunyaka ophelileyo. Andicebisi ukuba bekukho isivumelwano esinjalo, khumbula. Kodwa ukuba wena nguPutin kunye nawe wenza wenze isivumelwano, uTrump uvumile ukwenza ntoni?"

 Ukusuka apho, isiqwenga sikaReich saya kugqatso lwentelekelelo.

 Abaqhubela phambili bazijongela phantsi ezo ndlela zobuchwephesha bepropaganda ezivela kumaphiko asekunene, hayi nje kuba ekhohlo kujoliswe kuko kodwa nangenxa yokuba sifuna inkcubeko yezopolitiko esekwe kwiinyani kunye nobulungisa kunezityholo kunye nezityholo. Kubuhlungu ngoku ukubona abantu abaninzi abaqhubela phambili bezibandakanya kwipropaganda engenanto.

 Ngokunjalo, kulusizi ukubona ukulangazelela okungaka kokuthembela ekuthembekeni ngokupheleleyo kwamaziko afana neCIA kunye ne-NSA - amaziko awayekade efumana ukungathenjwa ngobulumko. Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, izigidi zabantu baseMelika bafumene ulwazi olunzulu malunga namandla okusetyenziswa kwemithombo yeendaba kunye nenkohliso yi-US yokuseka umgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle. Ukanti ngoku, sijongene nephiko lasekunene elonyukayo, abanye abaqhubela phambili baye banikezela kwisihendo sokutyhola imeko yethu yezopolitiko ngakumbi “kutshaba” lwangaphandle kunakwimikhosi enamandla yamashishini ekhaya.

 I-scapegoating engaphezulu kwe-Russian isebenzela iinjongo ezininzi kwi-complex yezempi-yemizi-mveliso, i-neocons yaseRiphabhlikhi kunye nezihlobo "zokungenelela ngokukhululekileyo" iiDemokhrasi. Endleleni, i-rhetoric-i-Russia-yokuqala i-rhetoric iluncedo kakhulu kwiphiko likaClinton le-Democratic Party- uphambuko olukhulu hleze ukuba udidi lwayo kunye nokudibana namandla eshishini kujongwe ngakumbi kunye nomceli mngeni onamandla osuka emazantsi.

 Kulo mongo, inkuthazo kunye nenkuthazo yokuthenga kwisiphithiphithi esichasene neRashiya iye yaxhaphaka. Inani elimangalisayo labantu libanga ukuqiniseka malunga nokugqekeza kunye "nokusebenzisana" - iminyhadala abangenakuqiniseka ngayo ngeli xesha. Ngokuyinxenye kungenxa yamabango enkohliso aphindaphindwa ngokungapheliyo ngabezopolitiko beDemokhrasi kunye neendaba. Umzekelo omnye libango elilahlekisayo lokuba "ii-arhente zobuntlola zase-US ezili-17" zafikelela kwisigqibo esifanayo malunga nokuqhekezwa kweKomiti yeSizwe yeDemokhrasi yaseRashiya - ibango elathi intatheli uRobert Parry yalichaza ngokufanelekileyo inqaku kwiveki ephelile.

 Ngexesha lokuvela kwamva nje kwi-CNN, owayesakuba nguSenator we-Ohio State uNina Turner wanikela ngombono ofunekayo kakhulu kumxholo wokutyholwa ngokungena kweRashiya kunyulo lwase-US. Abantu baseFlint, eMichigan “bendingenakukubuza ngeRashiya noJared Kushner,” yena wathi. “Bafuna ukwazi ukuba baza kuwafumana njani amanzi acocekileyo kwaye kutheni bengama-8,000 abantu baza kuphulukana namakhaya abo.”

 U-Turner waphawula ukuba "ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka sijongane" nezityholo zokungenelela kweRashiya kunyulo, "kusezingqondweni zabantu baseMelika, kodwa ukuba ufuna ukwazi ukuba abantu baseOhio - bafuna ukwazi ngemisebenzi, bafuna ukwazi. ngabantwana babo.” Ngokuphathelele iRussia, uthe, “Sizixakekise ngoku, asikuko ukuba ayibalulekanga le nto, kodwa yonke imihla abantu baseMelika bashiywa ngasemva kuba yiRussia, iRussia, iRussia."

 Njengee-CEO zamashishini ezinombono ofikelela kuphela kwikota elandelayo okanye ezimbini, uninzi lwezopolitiko zeDemokhrasi ziye zavuma ukufaka intetho yazo eyityhefu kumbutho wezopolitiko ngethiyori yokuba iya kuba yinzuzo kwezopolitiko kunyulo oluzayo okanye ezimbini. Kodwa nakweyayo imiqathango, le ndlela ifanelekile ukuba ingaphumeleli. Uninzi lwabantu baseMelika bakhathazeke kakhulu ngekamva labo lezoqoqosho kuneKremlin. Iqela elizenza laziwe kakhulu njenge-anti-Russian kunabantu abasebenzayo-banekamva eliyingxaki.

 Namhlanje, iminyaka eli-15 emva kokuba “umgca wobubi” kaGeorge W. Bush wabeka iqonga lembubhiso eqhubekayo yasemkhosini, abezopolitiko abarhweba ngentetho engagungqiyo njenge “UPutin yinkokeli yehlabathi elingenankululeko” ziyanceda ziphembe ilizwe lemfazwe - kwaye, kwinkqubo, ukwandisa amathuba okungquzulana komkhosi ngokuthe ngqo phakathi kwe-United States neRussia enokuthi ihambe ngenyukliya kwaye isitshabalalise sonke. Kodwa iinkxalabo ezinjalo zinokubonakala ngathi ziyinto nje yokungabi nanto xa kuthelekiswa nokuphumelela iinzuzo zexesha elifutshane zezopolitiko. Lowo ngumahluko phakathi kobunkokeli kunye nedemagoguery.
