Enye yeeblogi zam endizithandayo ekaCaitlin Johnstone. Kutheni ndingazange ndibhale malunga nokuba lukhulu kangakanani? Andiqinisekanga. Ndixakeke kakhulu ukuba ndingabhala ngezinto ezininzi. Ndiye ndammema kuhlelo lwam lukanomathotholo kwaye andizange ndiphendule. Ndiyazi ukuba enye yezinto endizithandayo ukuyenza ikwayenye yezakhe: lungisa iimpazamo zabanye. Ndiyathanda ukulungisa iimpazamo zam, kunjalo, kodwa akukho mnandi kangako, kwaye kubonakala kuluncedo ukubhala malunga nempazamo yam ekwabelwana ngayo zizigidi. Ndicinga ukuba uNksz Johnstone ngoku wenze, ngendlela yakhe enetalente, impazamo ekwabelwana ngayo zizigidi kwisithuba esibizwa. “Kule ntlekele Sonke, Ekugqibeleni, Simsulwa,” kwaye ndicinga ukuba inokuba yingozi kakhulu.
Ndikhumbula umntu othile ebiza uJean-Paul Sartre ngokuba yingqondi yokugqibela enokuxoxa ngokukhululekileyo nangasiphi na isihloko, nokuba wayesazi nto ngayo okanye hayi. Oku kuvakala ngathi sisithuko, kodwa kunokufundwa njengendumiso ukuba kuqondwa ukuba kuthetha ukuba, ngelixa eqonda into awayengayazi, uSartre wayesoloko ekwazi ukunikela ngeengcinga zobulumko ezivakaliswe ngokuqaqambileyo. Yiloo nto endiyonwabelayo malunga neeblogi ezifana noJohnstone. Abanye abantu ubafunda ngenxa yokuba benolwazi oluthile okanye imvelaphi okanye isikhundla esisemthethweni. Abanye ufunda ngenxa yokuba bayakwazi ukujonga iziganeko zangoku kwaye bakhuphe iintsingiselo ezibalulekileyo ezihlala ziphosakele okanye, kwiimeko ezininzi, zihlolwe - kubandakanywa nokuzihlola. Ndiyoyika, nangona kunjalo, ukuba uSartre wayeya kuphelelwa lithemba malunga nokutsha kukaJohnstone.
Ndithatha inqaku elisisiseko kuninzi lokubhala kukaSartre kukuba ndiyeke ukwenza izizathu eziqhwalelayo kwaye ndamkele uxanduva. Awunakukuphepha ukukhetha okanye ubange ukuba kwenziwe ngomnye umntu. UThixo ufile kwaye uyabola kunye noMoya kunye namandla angaqondakaliyo kunye neKarma kunye nokutsalwa kweenkwenkwezi. Ukuba umntu wenza into ethile, ixhomekeke kuwe. Ukuba iqela labantu njengeqela lenza into ethile, likubo okanye nathi. Awunakukhetha ukubhabha okanye ukubona iindonga; ukhetho lwakho lulinganiselwe kwizinto ezinokwenzeka. Kwaye iingxoxo ezinyanisekileyo zinokubakho malunga nento enokwenzeka, endinokuthi ndingasoloko ndivumelana noSartre. Iingxoxo ezinyanisekileyo zinokubakho malunga noko kulumkileyo nokulungileyo, apho ngokuqinisekileyo bendiya kuhlala ndingavumelani noSartre. Kodwa ngaphakathi kwendawo enokwenzeka, mna-kunye nayo yonke intsingiselo yomntu ethi "thina" -i-100% inoxanduva lokhetho lwethu, olungcono okanye olubi, ngetyala kunye nokusola.
Ndithatha inqaku elisisiseko lebhlog yamva nje kaJohnstone ukuba abantu abasenaxanduva “lokungena kwintshabalalo ngeArmageddon yenyukliya okanye intlekele yokusingqongileyo” kunokuba likhoboka leheroin yokufuna iheroin. Impendulo yam ayikukuba ikhoboka le-heroin linoxanduva ngenxa yokuba liye labanjwa okanye kuba uSartre wayingqina ngamazwi amade kakhulu. Ukukhotyokiswa — ukusa kuwuphi na umlinganiselo oonobangela bako kwichiza okanye emntwini — buyinyani; kwaye nokuba bekungenjalo, inokuthathwa njengeyokwenene ngenxa yale ngxabano apho isifaniso nje. Inkxalabo yam ikwimbono yokuba uluntu alunalawulo ekuziphatheni kwalo kwaye ke ngoko alunaxanduva ngayo, okanye njengoko uJohnstone esitsho:
“Ukuziphatha kwabantu ngokufanayo kuqhutywa ngamandla angekho zingqondweni kwinqanaba elidibeneyo, kodwa endaweni yokwenzakala kwasebuntwaneni sithetha ngayo yonke imbali yethu yendaleko, kunye nembali yempucuko. . . . Kuko konke ukuziphatha kakubi komntu ekugqibeleni kukuba: iimpazamo ezenziwe ngenxa yokungabi nazingqondo. . . . Ngoko sonke simsulwa ekugqibeleni.” Oku ngokuqinisekileyo bubuvuvu belungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza. Abantu benza ukhetho olubi ngalo lonke ixesha besazi. Abantu benza ngenxa yokubawa okanye ulunya. Banokuzisola neentloni. Zonke izenzo ezimbi azenziwanga ungaqondanga. Andinawo umfanekiso kaJohnstone esenza enye into ngaphandle kokuhleka isizathu sokuba uGeorge W. Bush, uColin Powell, neqela lemigulukudu “abaxoki besazi.” Akunjalo nje ngokuba sinabo kwirekhodi besithi bayayazi inyani, kodwa nangenxa yokuba ingcamango yokuxoka ibingayi kubakho ngaphandle kwento yokuthetha ubuxoki ngabom.
UJohnstone ubalisa intsomi ngokunyuka "kwempucuko" ngokungathi bonke abantu ngoku kwaye bebehlala beyinkcubeko enye. Le yintelekelelo ethuthuzelayo. Kuhle ukujonga uluntu lwangoku okanye lwembali oluphila okanye oluphila ngokuzinzileyo okanye ngaphandle kwemfazwe kwaye ucinge ukuba, ngexesha elinikiweyo, baya kuziphatha kanye njengabasebenzi bePentagon. Kukwimizila yabo yemfuza okanye kwindaleko yabo okanye ukungazi kwabo ngokudibeneyo okanye into ethile. Ewe oko kuyenzeka, kodwa akunakwenzeka kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo abuxhaswanga nabuphi na ubungqina. Isizathu sokufunda UKusa Kwento Yonke nguDavid Graeber kunye noDavid Wengrow asikuko ukuba bafumene yonke intelekelelo egqibeleleyo, kodwa ukuba benza ityala elinzima - kudala lenziwe nguMargaret Meade - ukuba ukuziphatha koluntu kuyinkcubeko kwaye kuyakhethwa. Akukho ludwe lwenkqubela phambili oluqikelelwayo ukusuka kokwamandulo ukuya kontsonkothileyo, kulawulo lookumkani ukuya kwidemokhrasi, ukuzulazula ukuya kwisigxina ukuya kubagcini bezixhobo zenyukliya. Imibutho, ngokuhamba kwexesha, iye yabheka ngapha nangapha kumacala onke, ukusuka kwincinci ukuya kwencinci ukuya kwencinci, ukusuka kwigunya ukuya kwidemokhrasi kunye nedemokhrasi ukuya kwi-authority, ukusuka kuxolo ukuya kwimfazwe ukuya kuxolo. Bezinkulu kwaye zintsokothile kwaye zinoxolo. Bakhe bancinci kwaye bahambahamba kwaye bathanda imfazwe. Kukho isicengcelezo esincinci okanye isizathu, kuba ukhetho lwenkcubeko lukhetho oluchazwe kuthi nguThixo okanye uMarx okanye "ubuntu."
Kwinkcubeko yase-US, nayiphi na i-4% yoluntu engalunganga ayilotyala laloo 4% kodwa "yendalo yomntu." Kutheni le nto i-US ingenako ukuphelisa umkhosi njengesizwe sesibini esinomkhosi? Ubume bomntu! Kutheni i-US ingenako ukukhathalelwa kwezempilo kuye wonke umntu njengoko amazwe amaninzi enayo? Ubume bomntu! Ukudibanisa iziphene zenkcubeko enye, kunye ne-Hollywood kunye ne-1,000 leziseko zangaphandle kunye ne-IMF kunye ne-Saint Volodymyr kwiziphene zobuntu kwaye ngoko ke akukho mpazamo yamntu ayifanelanga iiblogi ezichasene ne-imperial.
Akuzange kufuneke ukuba sivumele inkcubeko ethabathekayo, edlayo, eyonakalisayo ilawule ihlabathi. Nditsho nenkcubeko nje encinci kancinane ngolo hlobo ngeyingazange idale imeko yangoku yengozi yenyukliya kunye nokuwohloka kokusingqongileyo. Singatshintshela kwinkcubeko elumkileyo, ezinzileyo ngomso. Ewe bekungayi kuba lula. Abo bethu bafuna ukuyenza kuya kufuneka benze okuthile ngabantu abakhohlakeleyo abaphetheyo kunye nabo baphulaphule ubuxoki babo. Singadinga iibhlogi ezininzi ezinje ngoJohnstone egxeka kwaye ebhenca ubuxoki babo. Kodwa singayenza-akukho nto ibonisa ukuba asinakuyenza-kwaye kufuneka sisebenze kuyo. Kwaye ndiyazi ukuba uJohnstone uyavuma ukuba kufuneka sisebenze kuyo. Kodwa ukuxelela abantu ukuba ingxaki yenye into engeyiyo eyenkcubeko, ukuxelela abantu ubuvuvu obungenasiseko ukuba lulo nje uhlobo oluyiyo yonke into, akuncedi.
Ekuphikisana nokupheliswa kwemfazwe, umntu ubalekela kwingcamango ngalo lonke ixesha ukuba imfazwe yindlela nje abantu abenza ngayo, nangona ininzi yembali kunye nembali yabantu ayinayo nantoni na efana nemfazwe, nangona abantu abaninzi benza nantoni na abanokuyenza. ukuphepha imfazwe, nangona ibutho labantu liye lahamba kangangeenkulungwane ngaphandle kwemfazwe.
Kanye njengoko abanye bethu bakuthola kunzima ukucinga nje ngehlabathi ngaphandle kwemfazwe okanye ukubulala, uluntu oluntu lufumene nzima ukucinga umhlaba ngezo zinto. Indoda yaseMalaysia, yabuza isizathu sokuba engayi kudubula umcibisholo kumakhoboka, wathi "Ngenxa yokuba iya kubabulala." Wayengakwazi ukuqonda ukuba nabani na ongakhetha ukubulala. Kulula ukumrhaxela ukuba wayengenalo ingcamango, kodwa kulula kangakanani ngathi ukuba sicinge inkcubeko apho kungekho mntu wayenokukhetha ukubulala kwaye imfazwe ayengaziwa? Kungakhathaliseki ukuba kulula okanye kunzima ukuzicingela, okanye ukudala, oku kunqunywe ukuba yinkcubeko kungekhona yeDNA.
Ngokutsho kwentsomi, imfazwe “yendalo”. Nangona kunjalo kufuneka kubekho ukulungiswa okukhulu ukulungiselela abantu abaninzi ukuba bathathe inxaxheba emfazweni, kwaye ukubandezeleka okukhulu kwengqondo kuqhelekileyo phakathi kwabo bathathe inxaxheba. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, akukho namnye umntu owaziwayo ukuba uye wazisola ngokunzulu ngokuziphatha okanye ukuphazamiseka koxinzelelo lwasemva koxinzelelo lwemfazwe - okanye kubomi obuzinzileyo, okanye nokuhlala ngokungabikho kwee-nukes.
KwiNgxelo yaseSeville malunga nobuNdlobongela (PDF), izazinzulu zokuziphatha eziphambili kwihlabathi ziyayikhaba ingcamango yokuba ubundlobongela obulungelelanisiweyo boluntu [umzekelo, imfazwe] bumiselwa ngokwebhayoloji. Ingxelo yamkelwa yiUNESCO. Kukwasebenza okufanayo ekutshatyalalisweni kwendalo.
Ndiyathemba ukuba ndiphosakele ukuba ukuxelela abantu ukuba babeke ityala zonke iintlobo zabo, kunye nembali yayo kunye ne-prehistory, kubatyhafisa ekuthatheni inyathelo. Ngethemba ukuba le yingxabano nje yezemfundo. Kodwa ndiyoyika kakhulu ukuba akunjalo, kwaye abantu abaninzi - nokuba ayinguye uJohnstone ngokwakhe - abangafumani zizathu zilungileyo kuThixo okanye "uThixo" bafumana isizathu esibambekayo sokuziphatha kwabo okubi ekuthatheni iziphene. eyona ibalaseleyo kwinkcubeko yaseNtshona nokubabeka ityala kwizigqibo ezinkulu ezingaphaya kwamandla akhe nabani na.
Andikhathali nokuba abantu baziva msulwa okanye banetyala. Andinamdla wokwenza abanye okanye mna ndizive ndineentloni. Ndicinga ukuba kunokuxhobisa ukwazi ukuba ukhetho lolwethu kwaye sinolawulo oluninzi ngakumbi kwiziganeko kunokuba abo banegunya bafuna ukuba sikholwe. Kodwa ubukhulu becala ndifuna isenzo nenyaniso kwaye ndicinga ukuba zinokusebenzisana, nokuba zidibene kuphela zinokusikhulula.
