Izizathu eziyi-10 zokuthi kungani Ukubuyisa Amaphoyisa Kufanele Kuholele Empini Yokuhola Imali

NguMedea Benjamin noZoltán Grossman, Julayi 14, 2020

Kusukela abulawa uGeorge Floyd, sibone ukuqubuka okwandayo 'kwempi ekhaya' nabantu abamnyama nabansundu kanye “nezimpi zaphesheya” i-US ezilwe nabantu bakwamanye amazwe. Amasosha Amasosha Namasosha Kazwelonke asatshalaliswe emadolobheni aseMelika, njengoba amaphoyisa ezempi aphatha amadolobha ethu njengezindawo zempi. Ukuphendula le "mpi engapheli" ekhaya, ukukhala okuthuthukayo nokuduma kwemali yamaphoyisa kuye kwagcizelelwa ngezingcingo zokubuyisa imali yezimpi zePentagon. Esikhundleni sokubona lezi njengezimfuno ezimbili ezihlukile kodwa ezihlobene, kufanele sizibone zihlotshaniswa ngokusondelana, ngoba udlame lwamaphoyisa olunobuhlanga emigwaqweni yethu nodlame lobuhlanga i-US kudala olwahlukumeza abantu emhlabeni jikelele luyizinkomba zokubonisana.

Singafunda okuningi ngempi esekhaya ngokufunda izimpi zaphesheya, futhi sifunde kabanzi ngezimpi zaphesheya ngokufunda impi esekhaya. Nazi ezinye zalezi zixhumi:

1. I-US ibulala abantu abanemibala ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. Izwe laseMelika lasungulwa ngombono wokuphakama okumhlophe, kusuka ekuqothulweni kohlanga ngokumelene namaNative America ekusekeleni uhlelo lobugqila. Amaphoyisa ase-US abulala cishe 1,000 abantu ngonyaka, ngokungakhethi emphakathini onsundu neminye imiphakathi enemibala. Umgomo wezangaphandle wase-US ngokufanayo ususelwa embonweni omhlophe okhona wokuphakama wokukhipha igama elithi “kipekee American,” ohambisana nabalingani baseYurophu. The uchungechunge olungapheli lwezimpi amasosha aseMelika alwe phesheya bekungeke kwenzeke ngaphandle kwe umbono womhlaba owenza abantu bezinye izizwe benze okungafani. "Uma ufuna ukuqhuma noma ukuhlasela izwe langaphandle eligcwele abantu abamnyama noma abansundu, njengoba amasosha aseMelika enza njalo, kuzofanela uqale ukhwaze labo bantu, ubaphakamise, ubaphakamise ukuthi babuyela emuva abantu abadinga ukusindisa noma ukusindisa abantu abadinga ukubulawa, ” kusho intatheli uMehdi Hasan. Umbutho wezempi wase-US ubhekene necala lokufa kwabantu amakhulu ezinkulungwane Yabantu abamnyama nabansundu emhlabeni wonke, kanye nokuphikwa kwamalungelo abo okuzinqumela kwezwe lonke. Indinganiso ephindwe kabili engcwelisa izimpilo zamasosha ase-US nezakhamizi, kepha idelela abantu amazwe abo i-Pentagon kanye nababambisene nabo ababhubhisayo inenzondo efana naleyo eyazisa abamhlophe baphila ngaphezu kokuhlala kwabantu abamnyama nabansundu ekhaya.

2. Njengoba i-US yadalwa ngokuthatha umhlaba wabantu bomdabu ngamandla, neMelika njengombuso isebenzisa impi ukukhulisa ukufinyelela ezimakethe nasezinsizakalweni. I-Settler colonialism ibe "yimpi engapheli" ekhaya ngokumelene nezizwe Zomdabu, ezenziwa amakoloni ngenkathi umhlaba wazo usachazwa njengezindawo zakwamanye amazwe, ukuba zithathelwe umhlaba wazo ovundile nemithombo yemvelo. Izinqaba Zempi ezazimi ezizweni zoMdabu emuva ngaleso sikhathi zazilingana nezikhungo zamasosha zakwamanye amazwe namuhla, futhi amaSulumane aboMdabu kwakuyibo "abahlubuki" bokuqala ababesendleleni yokunqoba kweMelika. I “Manifest Destiny” yamakoloni yamazwe aboHlanga morphed ekwandeni phesheya kwezilwandle, kufaka phakathi ukuthunjwa kweHawaii, iPuerto Rico, namanye amakoloni, kanye nezimpi zokulwa nezibhedlela ePhilippines naseVietnam. Ekhulwini lama-21, izimpi eziholwa yi-US ziye zadambisa iMiddle East kanye ne-Asia Ephakathi, ngenkathi kukhulisa ukulawula imithombo yamandla ephethiloli yesifunda. IPentagon inayo usebenzise isifanekiso seMpi Yezwe YaseNdiya ukwesabisa umphakathi waseMelika ngesishayo “sezindawo ezingenamthetho zedolobha” esidinga “ukuthanjiswa,” emazweni afana ne-Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen neSomalia. Ngaleso sikhathi, uWound Knee ngonyaka we-1973 kanye no-Standing Rock ngonyaka ka-2016 bakhombisa ukuthi ubukoloni bokufika bungabuyiselwa kanjani emuva ezweni laseMelika Ukumiswa kwamapayipi kawoyela nokugqekeza imifanekiso kaColumbus kukhombisa ukuthi ukumelana komdabu nakho kungavuselelwa kanjani enhliziyweni yombuso.

3. Amaphoyisa nabezempi bobabili bahlushwa ubandlululo ngaphakathi. Ngombhikisho weBlack Lives Matter, abantu abaningi manje sebefundile ngemvelaphi yamaphoyisa ase-US emgqeni wokuqashwa kwezigqila ezimhlophe. Akuyona ingozi ukuthi ukuqasha nokukhushulwa eminyangweni yamaphoyisa kuthande abelungu ngokomlando, kanti nezikhulu zombala ezweni lonke ziyaqhubeka sue iminyango yabo ngezindlela zokubandlulula. Kunjalo nakwezempi, lapho ukwahlukaniswa kwakuyinqubomgomo esemthethweni kuze kube ngu-1948. Namuhla, abantu bemibala balandelwa ukugcwalisa amabanga aphansi, kepha hhayi izikhundla eziphezulu. Abaqashi bezempi bamisa iziteshi zokuqasha emiphakathini enemibala, lapho ukwenqatshwa kwemali uhulumeni ekuhlinzekweni kwezenhlalo nakwezemfundo kwenza ezempi zingenye yezindlela ezimbalwa zokugcina hhayi ukuthola umsebenzi, kepha ukufinyelela ekunakekelweni kwezempilo nemfundo yasekolishi yamahhala. Kungakho mayelana 43 amaphesenti kwabesilisa nabesifazane abayizigidi eziyi-1.3 abasebenzayo ngabantu abanemibala, kanti amaMelika Omdabu asebenzela eMkhosini Wezempi at izikhathi ezinhlanu isilinganiso sikazwelonke. Kepha amaqembu aphezulu ezempi ahlala eyiklabhu yabafana abamhlophe kuphela (yabaphathi abakhulu abangama-41, kuphela amabili amnyama futhi munye kuphela owesifazane). Ngaphansi kukaTrump, ubandlululo kwezempi luyanda. U-2019 Ucwaningo bathole ukuthi amaphesenti angama-53 ama-servicemember of color athi babone izibonelo zobuzwe abamhlophe noma ubuhlanga obuqhutshwa ngamasu obuhlanga phakathi kwamasosha abo, okuyisibalo esikhulu kakhulu ngokuvota okufanayo ngonyaka we-2018. Abezempi abaze bazama zombili lezi zinto ngena ezempi futhi shayisana namaphoyisa.

4. Amasosha e-Pentagon nezikhali “ezengeziwe” ziyasetshenziswa emigwaqweni yethu. Njengoba iPentagon imvamisa isebenzisa ulimi "lwezenzo zamaphoyisa" ukuchaza ukungenelela kwakwamanye amazwe, amaphoyisa aqhutshwa ngamasosha eMelika Lapho iPentagon iphela ngonyaka we-1990 ngezikhali zempi ezingasadingeki, yakha uHlelo olungu-1033 ukusabalalisa abathwali bezithwali zempi, izibhamu zangaphansi, kanye neziqhumane zebhomu eminyangweni yamaphoyisa. Ngaphezu kwama- $ 7.4 billion okokusebenza kwamasosha nezimpahla kudluliselwe kwabezomthetho abangaphezulu kuka-8,000 — baphenduka amaphoyisa aba amabutho okusebenza namadolobha ethu aba yizindawo zempi. Lokhu sikubone kahle ngonyaka ka-2014 ngemuva kwesehlakalo sokubulawa kukaMichael Brown, ngesikhathi amaphoyisa eshayisana namagiya ezempi enza imigwaqo yaseFerguson, eMissouri. kufana ne I-Iraq. Muva nje, sibona la mabutho ezempi abuthelwa empini nabakwaGeorge Floyd Rebellion, nge izindiza ezinophephela emhlane ngaphezulu, noMbusi waseMinnesota eqhathanisa ukuthunyelwa “nempi yaphesheya.” UTrump unabo amabutho kahulumeni athunyelwe futhi wafuna ukuthumela okuningi, kakhulu amabutho asebenzayo ayesetshenziswa ngaphambilini ngokulwa neziteleka zabasebenzi abaningana ngeminyaka yama-1890s-1920s, imibhikisho yamaBonus Army 'yango-1932, kanye nokuvukelwa kombuso kwabantu abamnyama eDetroit ngo-1943 nango-1967, emadolobheni amaningi ngo-1968 (ngemuva kokubulawa kukaDkt Martin Luther King Jr.), kanye eLos Angeles ngonyaka we-1992 (ngemuva kokumukelwa ngamaphoyisa owayeshaye uRodney King). Ukuthumela emasosheni aqeqeshelwe ukulwa kwenza isimo esibi sibe sibi kakhulu, futhi lokhu kungavula amehlo abantu baseMelika ebudloveni obesabisayo lapho amasosha aseMelika azama ngakho, kepha kuvame ukwehluleka, ukuqeda ukungezwani emazweni angenele kuwo. ICongress manje isenqaba ukudluliselwa kwemishini yempi emaphoyiseni, futhi Iziphathimandla zePentagon zingase ziphikise besebenzisa amabutho amelana nezakhamizi zase-US ekhaya, kepha akuvamile ukuthi aphikise lapho okuhlosiwe kungabangaphandle noma ngisho nezakhamizi zase-US abahlala phesheya.

5. Ukungenelela kwe-US phesheya, ikakhulukazi "Impi Yokusatshiswa," kuxosha inkululeko yethu yomphakathi ekhaya. Amasu okubheka ukuthi ahlolwe kwabakwamanye amazwe anawo yangeniswa isikhathi eside ukucindezela ukuphikisana ekhaya, kusukela lapho kwahlala khona eLatin America nasePhilippines. Ngemuva kokuhlaselwa kuka-9/11, ngenkathi amasosha aseMelika ethenga ama-super drones ukubulala izitha zase-US (futhi izakhamizi eziningi ezingenacala) futhi ziqoqa ubuhlakani kuyo yonke imizi, iminyango yamaphoyisa ase-US yaqala ukuthenga ama-drones amancane, kepha anamandla. Ababhikishi beBlack Lives Matter basanda kubona lezi zinto “Amehlo esibhakabhakeni” awahlola. Lesi ngesibonelo esisodwa somphakathi wokubheka ukuthi i-US isiphendukeni kusukela ngo-9/11. Lokhu okubizwa nge- "War on Terror" kuye kwaba isizathu sokukhushulwa okukhulu kwamandla kahulumeni ekhaya-kubanzi "ukumba imininingwane," kukhuphula ukugcinwa kwezimfihlo kwezinhlangano zikahulumeni, uhlu lweNo-Fly lwanqabela abantu amashumi ezinkulungwane ukuthi bangahambi , nohulumeni omkhulu uhlola amaqembu omphakathi, awenkolo nawezepolitiki, ukusuka kumaQuaker kuya eGreenpeace kuya e-ACLU, kufaka phakathi ukuhlola ezempi emaqenjini e-anti war. Ukusetshenziswa kwamasosha angatholakali aphesheya kwenza ukusetshenziswa kwawo kube lula emakhaya, njengalapho osonkontileka bezokuphepha abazimele baseBlackwater ukusuka eBaghdad kuya eNew Orleans emva kweSiphepho uKatrina ngonyaka ka-2005, ukuze sisetshenziswe ngokumelene nomphakathi omnyama owonakalisiwe. Futhi, uma amaphoyisa kanye nezempi ezihlomile kude namasosha ezempi angenza udlame ngokungaziphathi kahle ezweni, kuvamile futhi kuvuse nodlame olukhulu kwenye indawo.

6. I-xenophobia ne-Islamophobia esenkabeni ye- "War on Terror" kudlulise inzondo yabokufika kanye namaSulumane ekhaya. Njengoba nje izimpi zaphesheya zivunyelwe ngenxa yobandlululo nokubandlulula ngokwenkolo, zibuye zondle ukuphakama kwabamhlophe kanye nobuKristu ekhaya, njengoba kungabonakala ekuboshweni kweJapan-America ngeminyaka yama-1940s, nangomqondo ophikisana namaSulumane owakhuphuka ngawo-1980s. Lokhu kuhlasela kwango-9/11 kubhebhethekise ubugebengu benzondo kumaSulumane namaSikh, kanye nokuvinjelwa okuhlanganisiwe okuya ezweni laseMelika okubandakanya abantu abavela emazweni aphela, ukuhlukanisa imindeni, ukwehlisa abafundi ukufinyelela emanyuvesi, nokubamba abokufika emajele angasese. USenator Bernie Sanders, yekubhala Kwezangaphandle, uthe, "Lapho abaholi bethu abakhethiwe, izikebhe, nezinsimbi zezindaba zikhuthaza ukwesabeka okungapheli mayelana nabashokobezi abangamaSulumane, ngokuqinisekile bakha isimo sokwesaba nokusola okuzungeze izakhamizi zaseMuslim American-isimo lapho ubudlova obunje ngoTrump bungakhula khona. . ” Uphinde futhi wakhuza ubumbano ngenxa yokuguqula impikiswano yethu yabafuduki yaba yimpikiswano ephathelene nokuphepha kwabantu baseMelika, nokufaka izigidi zezakhamizi zaseMelika kubantu abangabhalisiwe nababhalwe phansi. Ukulwa kwempi komngcele we-US-Mexico, ngokusebenzisa izimangalo zokungena ezigebengwini kanye namaphekula, kukwenze ukuthi kwenzeke ukusetshenziswa kwe-drones nezindawo zokuhlola eziletha amasu okulawula okugunyaziwe “ezweni lasekhaya.” (Ngaleso sikhathi, izisebenzi zase-US Customs and Border Protection nazo zazikhona yathunyelwa emingceleni ye-Iraq eyayihlaselwe kakhulu.)

7. Omabili amasosha namaphoyisa bancela inani elikhulu lamadola abakhokha intela okufanele asetshenziselwe ukwakha umphakathi onobulungiswa, ozinzile nobulinganayo. Abantu baseMelika sebevele babamba iqhaza ekusekeleni udlame lombuso, noma ngabe siyakwazi noma cha, ngokukhokha intela emaphoyiseni nakwezempi akwenzayo ngamagama ethu. Isabelomali samaphoyisa sifaka iphesenti lezinkanyezi lezizumbulu zezimali zokuqhamuka emadolobheni kuqhathaniswa nezinye izinhlelo zomphakathi ezibalulekile, ezisukela Amaphesenti angama-20 kuye kwangama-45 okuxhaswa ngemali kwezimali ezindaweni ezinkulu zedolobha. Ukusetshenziswa kwemali yamaphoyisa edolobheni laseBaltimore ngo-2020 kuyinto enhle kakhulu ngama- $ 904 (cabanga ukuthi wonke umhlali angenzani ngama- $ 904). Ezweni lonke, i-US ichitha imali engaphezu kwe kabili ku "umthetho nokuhleleka" njengoba kwenza ezinhlelweni zenhlalakahle yemali. Lo mkhuba ubulokhu wanda kusukela ngeminyaka yama-1980, njengoba sikhiphe imali ezinhlelweni zobuphofu ukuyifaka ekulweni nobugebengu, umphumela ongenakugwemeka walokho kunganakwa. Iphethini efanayo iyiqiniso kusabelomali sePentagon. Isabelomali samasosha sango-2020 sama- $ 738 billion sikhulu kunamazwe ayishumi alandelayo ahlanganisiwe. IWashington Post kubika ukuthi uma i-US isebenzisa ingxenye efanayo ye-GDP yayo kwezempi njengoba amazwe amaningi aseYurophu enza, "ingaxhasa imali yenqubomgomo yokunakekela izingane, inikeze umshwalense wezempilo kubantu baseMelika abacishe babe yizigidi ezingama-30, noma inikeze utshalomali olukhulu ukulungisa Ingqalasizinda yesizwe. " Kuvalwa izisekelo zamasosha ezingaphesheya ezingama-800 + zodwa bengonga ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ngonyaka. Ukubeka emaphoyiseni phambili ngamasosha nezindlela zamasosha kusho ukuhlinzeka ngezinsizakusebenza zezidingo zomphakathi. Ngisho noMongameli Eisenhower wachaza imali esetshenziswe amasosha ngonyaka we-100 ngokuthi "ukwebiwa kwalabo abalambile futhi abangondli."

8. Amasu okucindezela asetshenziswe phesheya anza nakanjani ekhaya. Amasosha aqeqeshelwa ukubona iningi lezakhamizi ezihlangana nazo phesheya njengosongo olungaba khona. Lapho bebuya e-Iraq noma e-Afghanistan, bathola ukuthi omunye wabaqashi abambalwa ababeka phambili imigwaqo emaphakathini iminyango yamaphoyisa nezinkampani zezokuphepha. Futhi zinikela ngokulingana imiholo ephezulu, imihlomulo emihle, nokuvikelwa kwenyunyana, yingakho eyodwa kwabahlanu Amaphoyisa angumakadebona. Ngakho-ke, ngisho namasosha afika ekhaya ne-PTSD noma ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa notshwala, esikhundleni sokunakekelwa ngokwanele, anikezwa izikhali abekwe emigwaqweni. Akumangalisi Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi amaphoyisa anolwazi ngamasosha, ikakhulukazi lawo asefake phesheya, maningi amathuba okuthi abandakanyeke ezihlakalweni zokudubula kunalawo angenankonzo yezempi. Ubudlelwano obufanayo bokucindezela ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe buyiqiniso ngezindlela zokuhlukumeza, ezazifundiswa amasosha namaphoyisa kulo lonke elaseLatin America phakathi neMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Abuye asetshenziswa kuma-Afghans ejele lase-US eliqhutshwa yi-Bagram Air Base, nase-Iraqis ejele lase-Abu Ghraib, lapho omunye wabahlukumezi ayesebenzise khona amasu afanayo njengendlela unogada wejele ePennsylvania. Inhloso ye ukugibela amanzi, okuyindlela yokuhlukumeza ebuya emuva ezimpini ze-counterinsurgency eNative America nasePhilippines, ukuvikela umuntu ukuthi aphefumule, kufana nokujaha kwamaphoyisa okubulale u-Eric Garner noma idolo entanyeni ebulale uGeorge Floyd. I-#ICantBreathe akuyona nje isitatimende soshintsho ekhaya, kodwa futhi nesitatimende esinezimphumela zomhlaba.

9. Impi yezidakamizwa ifake imali ethe xaxa emaphoyiseni nakwezempi kepha kuye kwalimaza kakhulu abantu abanemibala, ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. Lokhu okubizwa nge- “War on Izidakamizwa” kuye kwalimaza imiphakathi enemibala, ikakhulukazi umphakathi onsundu, okuholele emazingeni enhlekelelesi odlame lwezibhamu nokuboshwa kwabantu abaningi. Abantu bemibala kungenzeka bavulwe, baseshwa, baboshwe, balahlwe yicala, futhi bagwetshwe ngesihluku ngamacala ahlobene nezidakamizwa. Cishe 80 amaphesenti yabantu abasejele likahulumeni futhi cishe amaphesenti angama-60 abantu ababoshwe ejele ngamacala wezidakamizwa abaMnyama noma abeLatinx. Impi Yezidakamizwa nayo isihlukumeze imiphakathi phesheya. Kuyo yonke iNingizimu Melika, iCaribbean, kanye ne-Afghanistan kuzo zombili izindawo ezikhiqiza izidakamizwa nokushushumbisa, izimpi ezisekelwa yi-US zinikeze amandla ubugebengu obuhleliwe kanye nezinqola zezidakamizwa kuphela, okuholela ekutheni ukuphakama kodlame, inkohliso, ukungavikeleki, ukuguguleka komthetho, kanye nokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu amakhulu. IMelika Ephakathi manje isiyikhaya labanye abasemhlabeni kakhulu amadolobha ayingozi, okuholela ekufudukeni kwabantu abaningi ukuya e-US ukuthi uDonald Trump uzihlomele ngezizathu zezepolitiki. Njengoba izimpendulo zamaphoyisa ekhaya zingaxazululi izinkinga zomphakathi ezivela ebumpofwini kanye nasekuphelelweni yithemba (futhi zivame ukudala ingozi enkulu kunokuhle), ukuthunyelwa kwamasosha phesheya akuzixazululi izingxabano zomlando ezivame ukuba nezimpande zawo ekungalingani kwezenhlalo nakwezomnotho, futhi esikhundleni salokho zidale umjikelezo wobudlova obhebhethekisa ubunzima.

10. Imishini yokulawula ukuqina iqinisa ukwesekwa kwemali yamaphoyisa nezimboni yezempi. Sekuphele isikhathi eside izivakashi ezisebenzisa umthetho zakha ukusekelwa kwamaphoyisa namajele phakathi kosopolitiki bakahulumeni nabezimboni, besebenzisa ukwesaba ubugebengu, kanye nesifiso senzuzo kanye nemisebenzi ebuyelwa emuva kubaxhasi bayo. Phakathi kwabaxhasi abanohlonze kakhulu kukhona izinyunyana zamaphoyisa nonogada, okuthi esikhundleni sokusebenzisa inyunyana yabasebenzi ukuvikela abangenamandla ngokumelene nabanamandla, bavikele amalungu abo kwizikhalo zomphakathi ngesihluku. Isakhiwo sezimboni yezempi ngokufanayo sisebenzisa umsipha waso wokunxusa ukugcina osopolitiki bevumelana nezifiso zabo. Njalo ngonyaka kudonswa izigidigidi zamaRandi kusuka kubakhokhi bentela baseMelika kuya ezinkampanini zezinhlangano, abese beqhuba imikhankaso yokugqugquzela ukuthi bathengisele ngisho nangaphezulu usizo lwamasosha nezokuthengisa izikhali. Bona Sebenzisa Ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu nambili ngonyaka ku-lobby, kanti amanye ama- $ 125 million ngonyaka ekunikeleni kumikhankaso yezepolitiki. Izikhali zokukhiqiza zinikeze izigidi zabasebenzi enye yemali ephezulu kakhulu yezimboni zezwe, kanye nezinyunyana zabo eziningi (njenge Abasebenza ngemishini) ziyingxenye yokwamukela izivakashi yePentagon. Lezi zindawo zokusebenzela osonkontileka bezempi ziye zaba namandla futhi zaba nomthelela hhayi ngaphezulu kwesabelomali kepha futhi nasekudalekeni kwenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US. Amandla webutho lezempi-lezimboni selibe yingozi kakhulu ukwedlula ngisho noMongameli u-Eisenhower ngokwakhe owayesaba ngenkathi exwayisa izwe, ngo-1961, ngokumelene nethonya elingafanele.

Kokubili "ukubuyisa imali yamaphoyisa" kanye "nempi yokubuyisa imali," ngenkathi kuphikiswa iningi lamaRepublican akhethiwe namaDemocrats amakhulu, bathola ukwesekwa ngumphakathi. Sekuyisikhathi eside osopolitiki abajwayelekile besaba ukupendwa ngokuthi “buthambile ebugebengwini” noma “buthambile ekuzivikeleni.” Lo mbono wokuzithuthukisa uveza umbono wokuthi i-US idinga amaphoyisa amaningi emigwaqweni namasosha amaningi abusa emhlabeni, kungenjalo kuzobusa izinxushunxushu. Abezindaba abahamba phambili bagcine osopolitiki besaba ukukunikeza noma yiluphi uhlobo lombono ohlukile, ongahambisani nempi. Kepha ukuvuka kwamuva nje sekuphenduke "ukubuyisa imali yamaphoyisa" kusuka ekucashungeni kwengxoxo yezwe, futhi amanye amadolobha asedlulisa izigidi zamadola emaphoyiseni ziye ezinhlelweni zomphakathi.

Ngokunjalo, kuze kube muva nje, ukucela ukuncishiswa kwezindleko zamasosha aseMelika bekuyinkinga enkulu eWashington DC unyaka nonyaka, bonke ngaphandle kwamaDemocrat ambalwa bahlangana namaRepublicans ukuvotela ukwenyuka okukhulu kwezindleko zamasosha. Kepha lokho manje sekuqala ukuguquka. UNdunankulu uBarbara Lee wethule umlando, wokufisa isixazululo ehlongoza ukusikeka okukhulu kwama- $ 350 ezigidigidi ekuncishisweni, okungaphezulu kwamaphesenti angama-40 esabelomali sePentagon. Futhi wethulwa uSen. Bernie Sanders, kanye nezinye izinqubekelaphambili ukuchitshiyelwa kuMthetho Wezokuvikela Wezwe lonke ukusika isabelomali sePentagon ngamaphesenti ayi-10.

Njengoba nje sifuna ukuyichaza kabusha ngokuphelele indima yamaphoyisa emiphakathini yethu, ngakho-ke nathi kumele siyiqonde kabusha indima yabasebenzi bezempi emphakathini womhlaba. Njengoba sihuba sithi “Impilo Emnyama,” kufanele futhi sikhumbule izimpilo zabantu abafa nsuku zonke ngamabhomu aseMelika e-Yemen nase-Afghanistan, unswinyo lwase-US eVenezuela nase-Iran, nezikhali zase-US ePalestine nasePhilippines. Ukubulawa kwabantu abamnyama baseMelika kuvusa kahle izixuku zababhikishi, ezingasiza ukuvula ifasitela lokwazisa ngalokhu amakhulu ezinkulungwane yezimpilo ezingezona ezaseMelika ezithathwe kumikhankaso yezempi yaseMelika. Njengesikhulumi se-Movement for Black Lives yesikhulumi uthi"Ukunyakaza kwethu kumele kuhambisane nenkululeko yenkululeko emhlabeni jikelele."

Labo manje ababuza a okwandisa impi Indlela yokuphoqelelwa komthetho kufanele futhi ibuze indlela yezempi ebudlelwaneni bangaphandle. Okungamaphoyisa angekho emthethweni athwele izimpahla zodlame ayingozi emiphakathini yethu, ngakho-ke, ibutho elingasabali, elihlome ngamazinyo futhi elisebenza ngokuyimfihlo, liyingozi emhlabeni. Ngenkathi yenkulumo yakhe eyingqalabutho emelene nama-impiriyali, “Beyond Vietnam,” uDkt King wathi: “Bengingeke ngiphinde ngiphakamise izwi lami ngilwa nodlame lwabacindezelwe ema-ghetto ngaphandle kokuthi ngikhulume ngokucacile nomshushisi omkhulu kunabo bonke emhlabeni namuhla: uhulumeni wami. ”

Imibhikisho ethi "Ukubuyisa Amaphoyisa" iphoqe abaseMelika ukuthi babone ukuguqukela kwamaphoyisa ngaphaya kokuphinde kwakhiwe kabusha ukuphepha komphakathi. Ngakho-ke, nathi sidinga ukuphinda senziwe kabusha ukuphepha kwezwe lethu ngesiqubulo esithi "Imali Yezimali." Uma sithola udlame lombuso olungakhethi emigwaqweni yethu lushaqeka, kufanele sizizwe ngendlela efanayo ngodlame lombuso phesheya kwezilwandle, futhi sinxuse ukuthi kuhlukane namaphoyisa namaphoyisa ePentagon, siphinde sibuyise lawo madola abakhokha intela ukwakha kabusha imiphakathi ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe.
