Malume, Bavela phi Abalweli Boxolo?

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Julayi 8, 2020

INkomfa yoXolo yaseKateri, ebibanjelwe emantla eNew York kangangeminyaka engama-22, izakubanjwa kwi-Intanethi kulo nyaka, Ukuvumela nabani na emhlabeni ongena kwi-Intanethi ukuba azimase kwaye eve kwaye athethe nabaphembeleli boxolo base-US- (Hee, Hlabathi, ubusazi ukuba i-US ibinabaphembeleli boxolo?) - njengoSteve Breyman, John Amidon, Maureen Beillargeon Aumand , UMedea Benjamin, uKristin Christman, uLawrence Davidson, uStephen Downs, uJames Jennings, uKathy Kelly, uJim Merkel, uEd Kinane, uNick Mottern, uMfu Felicia Parazaider, uBill Quigley, uDavid Swanson, uAnn Wright, kunye noChris Antal.

Ewe, igama lam likuluhlu. Hayi, andicebisi ukuba ndimhle. Kodwa ndinelungelo lokuthetha kwiNkomfa yoXolo yaseKateri kumntu ngo-2012 no-2014, kwaye ndacwangciswa ukuba ndiphinde ndibekho kwi-2020 de i-Trumpandemic iguqule iinkqubo zomntu wonke.

Izithethi kwiNkomfa yeZoom yalo nyaka, kunye noBlase Bonpane omangalisayo, osweleke e2019, ngababhali bezahluko ezahlukileyo zencwadi entsha ebizwa Ukugoba iArc: Ukulwela Uxolo noBulungisa kwiMinyaka engapheliyo yeMfazwe. Umntu ngamnye wacelwa ukuba abhale malunga neengcambu zokuzinikela kwabo eluxolweni nakwezobulungisa, iimpawu zomsebenzi wabo woxolo, iingcinga zabo ngezizathu zemfazwe noxolo, kunye nombono waboworld beyond war”Kwaye nomsebenzi kwakufuneka ufikelele kuwo. Ndabiza isahluko sam esithi "Ndaba njani lilwela uxolo."

Ndisandula ukufunda ezinye izahluko zomnye umntu, kwaye zikhanyisela kakhulu, kodwa hayi le bendiyilindele. Bendikade ndinethemba lokuphendula umbuzo wobuntwana endibize ngawo eli nqaku. Ndifuna ukwazi njani, ngaba abantu baba ngabaphembeleli boxolo? Andiqondi ukuba le ncwadi iwuphendule lo mbuzo ngendlela ebendicinga ngayo.

Kuyathakazelisa ukufunda ukuba xa uMedea uBenjamin wayesemncinci, umfana othandana nodadewabo wathunyelwa eVietnam kwaye wakhawuleza wamthumelela (udade) indlebe yomlobi waseVietcong oza kunxiba njengesikhumbuzo. Udadewabo kaMedea wahlanza, kwaye uMedea waqonda okuthile ngemfazwe.

Kuyathakazelisa ukuba uEd Kinane ukhumbule ukutyumza abamnyama abalishumi ngasemva ngutitshala webanga lesihlanu njengokumnceda ukuba abe ngumntu ongaqinisekanga ngalo lonke igunya.

Kodwa zonke ezi zinkumbulo zisixelela ntoni? Uninzi lwabantu lwaluthunyelwe ngeposi koodade wabo. Abantu abaninzi babethwa. Ngokwezibalo, akukho namnye waba lilwela uxolo.

Ukuphonononga amabali akule ncwadi, ndifumanisa ukuba akukho namnye kubalinganiswa abaphambili abakhuliswe ngabaphembeleli boxolo ukuba bathathe izikhundla zabazali kwimibutho yoxolo okanye kumashishini. Bambalwa kakhulu abafunda uxolo esikolweni. (Oko kungatshintsha kule minyaka idlulileyo.) Abanye bakhuthazwe ngamanye amatsha ntliziyo, kodwa ayingomxholo ophambili lowo. Uninzi kuye kwafuneka ukuba bafumane indlela yabo yokuzibandakanya noxolo kwiminyaka esele ihambile yokuphehlelela imisebenzi yabo yoxolo. Akukho namnye owatsalwa ngumkhankaso wentengiso ophuma kwiibhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka okanye kwiiofisi zokugaya abantu kwilizwe liphela benikezela ngeebhonasi ezinkulu kunye nobuxoki obutyibilikayo, indlela abantu abatsaleleke ngayo kwimfazwe.

Ngapha koko, abanye baba baxhasi boxolo baqala njengabaphembeleli bemfazwe. Abanye bakhulele kwiintsapho zomkhosi, abanye kwiintsapho ezayame emfazweni, abanye phakathi. Abanye babenqula, abanye bengengabo. Abanye babezizityebi, abanye bengamahlwempu.

Abaninzi baqaphele, kwaye abahleli baqaphela le meko, ukuba ukuhamba phesheya bekuyinxalenye yokuvuka kwabo. Uninzi luye lwabona ukubaluleka kokuzifumana ezinye iinkcubeko okanye inkcubeko eseMelika okanye ngaphandle kwayo. Abanye babecinezela xa bebona ukungabikho kokusesikweni ngandlel 'ithile. Abanye bathatha inxaxheba ekwenzeni okungekho sikweni. Abanye babona ubuhlwempu kwaye eneneni benza unxibelelwano kwimfazwe njengendawo apho izixhobo ezingafikelelekiyo zalahlwa khona. Abaliqela baba babhali baxoxa ngokubaluleka kwezifundo zokuziphatha ezivela kubazali babo nakwabanye ootitshala, kubandakanya nootitshala besikolo. Kodwa ukusebenzisa izifundo zokuziphatha emfazweni noxolo ayisiyonto iqhelekileyo. Iindaba zikamabonwakude kunye namaphephandaba ase-US anokucebisa ukuba uthando kunye nesisa sineendawo zazo ezifanelekileyo, ngelixa ukuthanda izwe kunye nokulwa komkhosi kunabo.

Ubukhulu becala ayichazwanga kwezi zahluko, kodwa umbhali ngamnye uyinto yomvukeli, into yokuthandabuza igunya u-Ed waba okanye wayehleli ekho. Ngaphandle kwenqanaba elithile leenkani, elizimeleyo, elizimeleyo, elinemvukelo lokuzicingela, ngaphandle kokuchasa ubuxoki, akukho namnye kwaba bantu oya kuba ngumzabalazo woxolo. Kodwa akukho babini baba kude ngokufanayo, nkqu nakwimvukelo yabo, nkqu nakwintshukumo yabo yoxolo. Uninzi, ukuba ayingabo bonke, bafika ngokuchasene nemfazwe ngokwamanqanaba, bebuza kuqala inkohlakalo ethile okanye imfazwe, kwaye kuphela emva kokudlula kumanqanaba aliqela, beza kuphelisa ukupheliswa kweziko liphela. Abambalwa kubo basenokuba basadlula kwamanye ala manqanaba.

Isiphelo endifika kuso kukuba bendibuza umbuzo osisiyatha. Phantse wonke umntu angaba lilwela uxolo. Uninzi lwaba bantu baba ngabaphembeleli bezinye izizathu kuqala, kwaye bafumanisa indlela yabo ekugqibeleni kukuqonda ukubaluleka kwemfazwe kunye ne-impiriyalizim kuluhlu lonke lokungekho sikweni ekufuneka sikoyisile. Kwiminyaka eyandisiweyo neyaziwayo yokulwa uxolo, amawaka ezigidi zabantu anokuthi athabathe into encinci. Kodwa kwiminyaka eyamkelweyo ngokubanzi, nangokuphepha ngokungakhathali, imfazwe engapheliyo, abo bathi babe ngabaphembeleli boxolo, abo bafuna ukulungisa indlela yexesha lokulwela uxolo olungazange lubekho oluza kubakho ukuba uluntu luza kuphila, abo bakhethiweyo bambalwa ayizizo ezizodwa kakhulu. Kunokubakho izigidi ezingaphezulu kuthi.

Ingxaki kukuba umbutho woxolo awunayo imali yokuqesha bonke abo balwela uxolo. Xa umbutho wam, World BEYOND War, siqesha abasebenzi abatsha, siyakwazi ukuhluza kwizitokhwe ezinkulu zabafaki zicelo abanobuchule. Khawufane ucinge ukuba thina, nayo yonke imibutho yoxolo, sinokuqesha bonke abasebenza ngokuzithandela! Khawufane ucinge ukuba abo kuthi baboniswe kule ncwadi babebanjiswe ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba babe ngumbutho woxolo besebancinci kunabo siphume ngebhaqo kuyo. Ndineengcebiso ezimbini.

Okokuqala, funda Ukurhuma iArc: Ukuzabalazela uxolo kunye nobulungisa kwiXesha leMfazwe engapheliyo kwaye ubone ukuba ucinga ntoni.
