NguMarc Eliot Stein, ngoMeyi 22, 2018

NgoLwesithathu ekuseni, nge-23 kaMeyi 2018 kwisiXeko saseNew York, intlanganiso yabanini-zabelo yonyaka yeBlackRock, indibaniselwano yezemali enesithunzi kodwa enkulu “enkulu kakhulu ukuba ingaphumeleli” eye yafumana inzuzo kwingozi yaseWall Street ka-2007/2008 kwaye ibisenza inzuzo kumashumi eminyaka ukusuka kwihlabathi liphela. ukuthengiswa kwezixhobo, ukuthengiswa kwemipu yasekhaya kunye nokuphembelela amajoni axhasa umkhosi, ziyakubuliswa liqela elincinci kodwa elizimiseleyo labaqhankqalazi abanomsindo abakhwaza “divest”. (Sijoyine ukuba unako.)

Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, abaphathi kunye nabatyali-mali abafuna ukungawahoyi amazwi ethu anomsindo baya kukwazi. Kodwa oko akuyi kusidimaza, kuba sinenyaniso nobulungisa kwicala lethu. I-Divestment ifumana umhlaba kwihlabathi liphela njengendlela eyomeleleyo yokuchasa amandla e-monolithic avela xa imali yokubawa ixhasa imfazwe engapheliyo. Oku kuxhathisa kunokuziva kungekho themba, kodwa akunjalo. Nasi isizathu sokuba amaphulo okuntywila ngokuchasene nemibutho efana neBlackRock inokubaluleka.

I-Divestment isinika ilizwi elithe ngqo. Yimali yethu. Ukuba ubhalise kwingxowa-mali yomhlalaphantsi karhulumente e-USA okanye eKhanada okanye eJapan okanye e-UK, okanye ukuba ungumfundisi-ntsapho okanye omnye umsebenzi woluntu eNew York okanye eCalifornia okanye kwelinye lamanye amazwe amaninzi, eyakho imali ifakwa Umatshini wenzuzo yemfazwe yeBlackRock, kwaye oku kuthetha ukuba uxhotyisiwe ukuba ufune iimpendulo. Ukwahluka kukuxhobisa ngokuthe ngqo. Akuyomfuneko ukuba sicenge abezopolitiko abakrelekrele ukuba ekugqibeleni basihoye kwaye basenzele. Sinokwenza ngokwethu. Yimali yethu.

Ukwahlukana kukuzifundisa. Bangaphi abantu abangazange beve ngeBlackRock? Yiloo ndlela uBlackRock athanda ngayo. Kwaye yiloo nto iphulo lokuqhawula umtshato lijolise ekupheliseni. Ukuba unomhlobo onengxowa-mali yomhlalaphantsi kwaye uyamchazela lo mhlobo ukuba kutheni kufuneka baqhankqalaze ngokuchasene notyalo-mali ngeBlackRock, awuncedi kuphela unobangela wokutsalwa kwemali. Unceda ukuvusa abantu. Nokuba umhlobo wakho akakakulungeli ukulandela ingqiqo yakho namhlanje, uya kuba ngumntu wokuqala ukuxelela umhlobo wakho ukuba kukho isixhobo esikhulu sompu kunye nompu obizwa ngokuba yiBlackRock.

Olu hlobo lokwabelana ngolwazi lolona loyiko lubi lukaBlackRock, njengoko iCodePink yafumanisa xa le nkampani inkulu yaseMelika ifudusela iofisi yayo yaseWashington DC kwaye yazama ngokunzulu ukufihla idilesi yayo entsha, ngokungathi inokuzifihla kubantu behlabathi ngelixa irhwaphiliza imali yethu. ishishini lezixhobo zehlabathi. Njengoko iCodePink yatshoyo, "kuyothusa xa ifemu exabisa iibhiliyoni zeedola isoyika uxolo lwabasetyhini olungenzi nzuzo".

Ukwahlukana kuyasebenza! Amabali okuphumelela akulula ukuwafumana xa ilizwi labantu likhuphuka ngokuchasene nemfazwe enkulu, ingcinezelo enkulu, ubukhosi obukhulu kunye nemali enkulu. Kodwa yayiliphulo elide, elinzima nelinempikiswano elichasene nocalucalulo eMzantsi Afrika elathi ekugqibeleni lenza wonke umahluko kwihlabathi kweli lizwe. Ngaphandle kocalucalulo, mhlawumbi ucalucalulo ngelusasebenza eMzantsi Afrika nanamhla oku.

Ngentsasa yangoLwesithathu, umhla wama-23 kuCanzibe kwisiXeko saseNew York, abatyali-zimali kunye neentatheli ezifika kwintlanganiso yabanini-zabelo beBlackRock banokucinga ukuba iqela labaqhankqalazi abenza ingxolo ngaphandle kweendonga zamatye amnyama zesakhiwo iBlackRock likhangeleka lincinci. Kodwa asiyi kuziva sincinci. Sijoyine kweli phulo lokuqhawula umtshato, okanye kulo naliphi na iphulo lokuqhawula umtshato elilwela into elungileyo ngokuchasene namandla amakhulu omkhosi wemali enkulu, kwaye awuzukuziva umncinci nawe.

Nalu olunye ulwazi malunga World Beyond War's iphulo divestment, Ulwahlulo oluvela kwiMfazwe yeMfazwe, yaye Iphepha leCodePink malunga nezenzo ezahlukeneyo kwiiofisi zeBlackRock, kuquka i-23 kaMeyi phakathi kwedolophu yaseManhattan. Fumana ngakumbi kwaye uhlanganyele nathi!
