Amazwi e-Fellowship Hall e-Berkeley, Calif., Okthoba 13, 2018.

Ividiyo lapha.

Iziqubulo nezihlokwana kanye ne-haikus nezinye izinhlanganisela ezimfushane zamagama yizinto ezinobuqili. Ngabhala incwadi ebheka izindikimba eziningi endleleni abantu abavame ukukhuluma ngayo ngempi, futhi ngabathola bonke ngaphandle kokukhetha - nemikhankaso yokumaketha ngaphambi, phakathi, nangemva kwayo yonke impi edlule ngaphandle kokukhetha - ukungathembeki. Ngakho ngabiza incwadi Impi Ngamanga. Futhi-ke abantu abangayiqondi kahle incazelo yami baqala ukugcizelela kimi ukuthi nganginephutha, ukuthi impi ikhona ngempela.

Sinazo izikibha World BEYOND War eyayifundeka ngokuthi “Sengimelene nempi elandelayo kakade.” Kepha eminye imibhikisho okungafanele sicabange ukuthi kumele kube nempi elandelayo. Futhi mina ngokwami ​​ngiyaphikisana ngokuthi empeleni sisusa iqiniso elincane elaziwayo lokuthi kunezimpi eziningi eziqhubekayo lapho sigxila "empini elandelayo," ikakhulukazi emphakathini ozicabangela ngokuthula ngenkathi uqhuma amabhomu ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba. .

Isixazululo esisodwa salokhu wukuzibamba ekubekeni ukubaluleka okukhulu eziqubulweni. Uma isiqubulo esifanele singasisindisa, okuqukethwe kwebhokisi lami lokungenayo le-imeyili, okugcwele imibono yesiqubulo esisindisa umhlaba, ngabe kudala ipharadesi. Uma labo abaphikisana ngokuthula nobulungiswa behlulwe ngempela kumabonakude ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokuthi bengenakho uzwela futhi banobuhlakani ngokwanele, uma kuqhathaniswa nokwehluleka kwabo okujwayelekile ukuba ngabanikazi bamanethiwekhi kamabonakude, kufanele sivale ngokushesha yonke into ngaphandle kwezikhathi zokuklama izitikha ezinkulu.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma ngibhala isihloko bese ngithumela isixhumanisi kuso ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, ngokuvamile kuxoxwa ngesihloko phakathi kwabahlanganyeli abangazange bachofoze ngokucacile futhi bafunde i-athikili futhi okuthi kwezinye izimo, uma bebuzwa, babekwe kahle. ngomqondo wokuthi kufanele benze kanjalo. Mina ngokwami ​​muva nje ngiqale ukuchofoza ama-athikili anezihloko eziyisicefe kuphela, ngoba lawo anezihloko ezijabulisayo ngokuvamile ayahluleka ukufeza inkokhelo yawo. Konke lokhu kusho ukuthi izihloko zezindaba zibalulekile. Kodwa kanjalo nezinkulumo ezinde. Ngakho-ke ngizokutshela isihloko engiqhamuke naso sale nkulumo, nakuba yaklwejwa njengokucasulayo, ngoba ngethemba ukuthi uzongivumela eminye imisho eyengeziwe ngale kwesihloko. Nasi isihloko esithi: “Yenza Umhlaba Ube Muhle Kokuqala.”

Nazi ezinye izinto engingaqondile ngalokho, futhi engizobuya kuzo maduze:

-Mina noma thina esikuleli gumbi sinamandla amakhulu azosivumela ukuthi silungise umhlaba wonke ozosibonga ngalomusa onjengokankulunkulu.

or

-Ayikho imiphakathi yakudala noma ekhona manje, okuhlanganisa nemiphakathi engeyona eyaseNtshonalanga kanye neyomdabu, eyake yaba mikhulu nganoma iyiphi indlela, futhi indlela yokuba mkhulu iyindalo entsha engenasidingo sanoma yikuphi ukuhlakanipha kwasendulo.

or

- I-Trumpism kufanele ihlasele umhlaba wonke.

Nakhu okuncane engikushoyo:

Kungenzeka ukuthi uke wezwa endaweni ethile isiqubulo esithi “Make America Great Again” kanye nokubuya okusheshayo “i-America Already Is Great.” Lesi sakamuva sesize sashintsha saba yi-"America Was Great Before You, Mr. Trump" egcina icishe ilingane neyokuqala ethi "Make America Great Again." Ngiyaphikisana nobuzwe. Le planethi encane isenkingeni, futhi ikhuluma ngokwenza indawo enhle lapho u-4% wesintu uhlala khona, ikakhulukazi ngaphandle kokungabaza isiko elixhaphaza futhi licekele phansi elayo nabanye, libonakala lidukile ngokwedlulele. Ngiphinde ngiphikisane nokungacaci kwesiqubulo, esingashicilelwanga nge-athikili noma incwadi, kodwa kunalokho isigqoko. Nakuba abanye bengase bacabange ngobuhle baseMelika obudlule engingabusekela, noma buyiqiniso noma buqanjiwe, abanye ngokusobala bacabanga ukwenza i-United States ibe yimbi kakhulu futhi ngokuhlehlisa ukuthuthuka kwangempela. Ngiyakwenqaba ukusetshenziswa kwegama elithi “America” ukuze lisho i-United States kuphela, noma ngabe likuvumela ukuphikisa njengokuthi “Make America Hate Again” kanye “Yenza IMelika I-Mexico Futhi.” Kodwa ingxenye “enkulu futhi” yesiqubulo esizibophezela ekucabangeni kobuFascist nepolitiki.

Ngandlela thize, ukukhathazeka ngokungacaci kwesiqubulo sobufascist kungasiholela kude kwenye indlela yokusiphikisa, okungukuthi ngamaqiniso. Ukuthatha elithi “iMelika” lisho i-United States yamashumi eminyaka amuva nje, iqiniso elimsulwa ukuthi ayisekho manje futhi akubanga kuhle, noma ngabe umuntu ubuchaza kanjani ubukhulu. Nakuba umphakathi wase-US usezingeni eliphezulu ekukholweni ukuthi izwe lawo likhulu, futhi empeleni likhulu kunawo wonke, futhi empeleni liphakeme kangangokuba lifanelwe amalungelo akhethekile, lo mbono awunasisekelo eqinisweni. Ukuhluka kwe-US, umbono wokuthi i-United States of America iphakeme kunezinye izizwe, awusekelwe eqinisweni futhi uyingozi kakhulu kunokucwasa, ukucwasa ngobulili, nezinye izinhlobo zokucwasa - nakuba iningi lamasiko ase-US lithatha lolu hlobo lokucwasa njenge okwamukeleka kakhulu.

Encwadini yami yakamuva, Ukuphulukisa i-Exceptionalism, ngibheka ukuthi i-United States iqhathaniswa kanjani namanye amazwe, ukuthi icabanga kanjani ngalokho, ukuthi lokhu kucabanga kwenzani umonakalo, nendlela yokucabanga ngendlela ehlukile. Esokuqala salezo zigaba ezine, ngizama ukuthola isilinganiso esithile i-United States empeleni enkulu kunazo zonke, futhi ngehluleka.

Ngazama ukukhululeka, kodwa zonke izikhungo zazo zonke izikhungo noma i-academy, phesheya, e-United States, ezixhaswe ngemali ngasese, ezixhaswe ngezimali yi-CIA, njll, zahluleka ukubeka i-United States phezulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi inkululeko yesikhulukazi isetshenziswa, ishiya inkululeko yokuhola impilo egculisayo, inkululeko emiphakathini yabantu, inkululeko yokushintsha isikhundla somnotho, inkululeko nganoma iyiphi incazelo ngaphansi kwelanga. I-United States lapho "okungenani ngiyazi ukuthi ngikhululekile" ngamazwi ngengoma yezwe ihluke namanye amazwe lapho okungenani ngiyazi ukuthi ngikhululekile.

Ngakho ngabheka kanzima. Ngibheke imfundo kuwo wonke amazinga, futhi ngathola ukuthi iUnited States iqale kuqala kuphela esikweletini somfundi. Ngabheka ingcebo futhi ngathola ukuthi i-United States ibeka kuqala kuqala ukungalingani kokusabalalisa ingcebo phakathi kwezizwe ezicebile. Eqinisweni, iUnited States ibamba phansi emazweni acebile ohlwini olude kakhulu lwezinyathelo zokuphila. Uhlala isikhathi eside, enempilo, futhi ujabule kwenye indawo. I-United States iqala kuqala phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe ngezinyathelo ezihlukahlukene umuntu akufanele aziqhenye ngawo: ukuboshwa, izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zokubhujiswa kwemvelo, nezinyathelo eziningi zempi, kanye nezigaba ezithile ezingathandabuzeki, njenge-ungangitshele - abameli I-per capita. Futhi iqala kuqala ezintweni eziningi engizicabangela labo abamemeza esithi "Siyi-Number 1!" Ukuthulisa noma ubani osebenzela ukuthuthukisa izinto ezingenayo engqondweni: ukubuka okuningi kwethelevishini, i-asphalt ehamba phambili, eduze noma ngaphezulu ekukhulupheni ngokweqile, ekudleni okunengi okudliwayo, ekuhlinzekeni kwezithokozi, ezithombeni zobulili ezingcolile, kokusetshenziswa ushizi, njll.

Ezweni elinengqondo, izizwe ezazitholile izinqubomgomo ezinhle kakhulu zokunakekelwa kwezempilo, ubudlova bebhamu, imfundo, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo, ukuthula, ukuchuma, nenjabulo kuzothuthukiswa kakhulu njengamamodeli afanele ukucatshangelwa. Kuleli zwe, ukusabalala kolimi lwesiNgisi, ukubusa kweHollywood, nezinye izici kwenza empeleni i-United States ihole into eyodwa: ekugqugquzelweni kwayo yonke imigomo yayo enhlekeleleni.

Umbono wami awukona ukuthi abantu kufanele bashiye i-United States noma bafunge ukwethembeka kwenye indawo, noma bathathe isikhundla sokuziqhenya ngehlazo. Futhi ayikho incazelo evamile noma izibalo ezimboza umuntu wangempela. Sekuhlale kukhona ama-subcultures ahlanganisa namasiko endabuko e-United States ayenokuningi okufanele akufundise. Iphuzu lami ukuthi sinezimpikiswano e-US mayelana nokuthi ukunakekelwa kwezempilo komuntu oyedwa kungasebenza ngempela emhlabeni wangempela okushaya indiva iqiniso lokuthi kusebenza emazweni amaningi. Size sigqoke uhlobo olufanayo lwezimpumputhe uma kuziwa ekuthuleni, sicabanga ukuthi ukuthula akukaze kutholakale, nokuthi kufanele sibheke ekuzindleni kuka-Einstein, Freud, Russell, noTolstoy ukuze sakhe izindlela zokuguqukela ekugcineni izwe elisha lapho ukuthula kuyoqala ukusungulwa.

Iqiniso liwukuthi, nakuba imicabango ehlakaniphile yabantu abacabangayo baseNtshonalanga ingaba usizo olukhulu, siyahamba kabi uma singaziboni izimfihlo ezithile ezibangela amahloni. Manje kubonakala sengathi amaqembu amaningi abazingeli abaqoqi abantu awazange ahlanganyele lutho olufana nempi yobuchwepheshe obuphansi nhlobo, okusho ukuthi iningi lezinhlobo zethu zezilwane azange zifake impi. Ngisho nasezinkulungwaneni zamuva nje, ingxenye enkulu ye-Australia, i-Arctic, iNyakatho-mpumalanga yeMexico, i-Great Basin yaseNyakatho Melika, ngisho neYurophu ngaphambi kokunyuka kwamasiko amaqhawe e-patriarchic enza kakhulu noma ngokuphelele ngaphandle kwempi. Izibonelo zamuva ziningi. Ngo-1614 iJapane yazihlukanisa neNtshonalanga nasezimpini ezinkulu kwaze kwaba ngu-1853 lapho iButho Lasemanzini Lase-US lingena ngenkani. Phakathi nalezo zikhathi zokuthula, isiko liyachuma. Ikoloni lasePennsylvania isikhathi esithile lakhetha ukuhlonipha abantu bomdabu, okungenani uma liqhathaniswa namanye amakoloni, futhi lalikwazi ukuthula futhi liyachuma. Umbono ophethwe usaziwayo wesayensi yezinkanyezi u-Neil deGrasse Tyson wokuthi ngenxa yokuthi ikhulu le-17 iYurophu yatshala imali kwezesayensi ngokufaka imali ezimpini ngakho-ke kuphela ngezempi lapho noma yiliphi isiko lingathuthuka, ngakho-ke - ngokufanelekile - ososayensi bezinkanyezi banezizathu eziyi-100% ekusebenzeleni iPentagon, umbono. ngokusekelwe ezingeni elingenangqondo lokucwasa okucwayizayo abambalwa abakhululekile abangakwamukela uma kuphindwa ngemibandela yokucwasa ngokusobala noma ngokobulili.

Akukho lutho ngokwezobuchwepheshe olufana nempi yamanje olwaba khona esikhathini esidlule ngokwemibandela yokuziphendukela kwemvelo. Ukubiza ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu kwezindlu zabantu e-Yemen igama elifanayo nokulwa ngezinkemba noma ama-muskets endaweni evulekile kuyangabazeka kakhulu.

Isizwe esihileleke kakhulu ekuqhunyisweni kwamabhomu ezindlini zabantu emhlabeni wonke, okungukuthi i-United States, ayibandakanyi amaphesenti angama-99 abantu bakhona ngokuqondile embonini yempi. Uma impi iwuhlobo oluthile lokuziphatha komuntu okungenakugwenywa, kungani abantu abaningi befuna ukuba kwenziwe omunye umuntu? Ngenkathi ngaphezulu kwamaphesenti angama-40 omphakathi wase-US etshela abavoti ukuthi izobamba iqhaza empini, futhi amavidiyo we-NRA akhuthaza izimpi eziningi ngokusobala njengendlela yokuthengisa izibhamu kubalandeli bezimpi, cishe akekho kulabo bantu, kuhlanganise nabasebenzi be-NRA, bafakazele ukuthi bayakwazi ukuthola isiteshi sokuqasha.

Sekuyisikhathi eside amasosha aseNtshonalanga ekhipha abesifazane ngaphandle futhi manje asebenza kanzima ukubafaka ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngalokho okuthiwa yimvelo yomuntu, ngaphandle kokuzibuza ukuthi kungani, uma abesifazane bengaqala ukulwa, amadoda angakwazi ukuyeka ukulwa.

Njengamanje ama-96% esintu aphila ngaphansi kohulumeni abatshala imali encane kakhulu empini, futhi ezimeni eziningi bancane kakhulu ngomuntu ngamunye kanye nendawo ngayinye, kunokuba kwenza u-4% wabantu e-United States. Kodwa-ke abantu base-United States bazokutshela ukuthi ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kanye nokubuyisela ku-imperialism yase-US kuzokwephula leyo nto yenganekwane eyaziwa ngokuthi imvelo yomuntu. Cishe eminyakeni eyi-17 edlule lapho i-US ichitha imali encane kakhulu kwezempi sasingebona abantu ngaleso sikhathi.

Nakuba umbulali ophezulu wabahlanganyeli base-US empini ukuzibulala, futhi amacala aqoshiwe e-PTSD ngenxa yokuncishwa impi ehlezi ngokuqhubekayo ku-zero, impi kuthiwa ijwayelekile. Kodwa-ke iCongress yaseMelika ngeke isaphasisa umthethosivivinywa ovimbela ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kwase-US ukuthi kuphindwe kane kunemali enkulu elandelayo emhlabeni kunokuba izokhawulela amaJaji Enkantolo Ephakeme ekuhlaselweni ngokocansi okungaphezu kwezine.

Uma ngithi kufanele senze umhlaba ube mkhulu okokuqala, ngiqonde ukuthi kule nkathi yokuxhumana emhlabeni wonke, kufanele sizicabange njengezakhamuzi zomhlaba futhi sithuthukise izinhlelo zomhlaba zokubambisana, ukubambisana, nokuxazulula izingxabano nokubuyisela kanye nokubuyisana. zuza kakhulu ekuhlakanipheni okwaba khona kudala ngaphambi kokungabusisi kwamuva kwamagumbi ahlukahlukene omhlaba. Futhi ngiqonde lokhu njengephrojekthi ezodinga ukuthi abantu abavela emhlabeni wonke basebenzisane, babelane ngemibono ehlukene kakhulu, futhi bamukele isidingo sokuhlonipha nokufunda emibonweni ehluke kakhulu. Nakuba lokhu bekungakaze kube khona ngendlela edingekayo manje, enye indlela yokuyidala ukuthi lesi silwane esinezinkathazo nezinye eziningi zizoshabalala - okubonakala engqondweni yami kuphazamisa nakakhulu ukuthi ukuzama into entsha, okuyinto - iqiniso elizokhulunywa - kuyinselele futhi ethokozisayo futhi akuyona indaba ehluphayo nhlobo.

Inhlangano yomhlaba wonke yokuqeda impi, okuyilokho World BEYOND War isebenza, kufanele kube inhlangano ethatha abathengisi bezikhali abakhulu kakhulu, abakhi bempi, nabalungisi bempi, izifundazwe eziqinile ezihlomisa omashiqela abaningi, zifake izisekelo zakwamanye amazwe, zibhidlize imithetho yamazwe ngamazwe nezivumelwano nezinkantolo, futhi zehlise. amabhomu amaningi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi, ikakhulukazi uhulumeni wase-United States - omele umkhankaso wokuduba, ukuhlukaniswa, unswinyo, kanye nengcindezi yokuziphatha njengoba bekungenza uhulumeni wakwa-Israel uma uhulumeni wakwa-Israel uphindaphindeka ka-100.

Osolwazi abakutshela ukuthi impi ingaba yilungile nokuthi impi isheshe ishabalale emhlabeni - futhi kukhona ukunqwabelana okuxakile phakathi kwala maqembu amabili, u-Ian Morris waseStanford ukuwo womabili - angaseNtshonalanga kuphela, ama-USian kakhulu, futhi anobandlululo olukhulu. Izimpi ezingezona ezaseNtshonalanga, ezicasulwe futhi zihlonywe ngabaseNtshonalanga, ziphinde zihlukaniswe njengezigameko zokubulala, kuyilapho izimpi zaseNtshonalanga ziqondwa njengokugcinwa komthetho. Kodwa empeleni impi ivame ukucekela phansi isizwe, futhi ukubulawa kwabantu ngokuvamile kuhilela impi. Uma bobabili, impi nokuqothulwa kohlanga, beqhudelana okhethweni lwase-US ngokuqinisekile sizotshelwa ukuthi sidinga ukuvotela omubi omncane, noma ngabe yikuphi, kodwa bobabili abahlukaniseki. Futhi akukho mthetho ophoqelelayo, njengoba uhlanganisa ukwephulwa okukhulu komthetho.

At World BEYOND War siqhamuke nencwadi ethi I-Global Security System: I-Alternative to War ezama ukubona ngeso lengqondo isiko nesakhiwo somhlaba esivumela ukuthi siqede zonke izimpi nezikhali. Ngibhale inqwaba yezincwadi ezikhuluma ngalokhu. Kodwa namuhla ngizwa sengathi ngikhuluma ngobushoshovu, ngalokho abantu abangakwenza ukuze kube nokuthula nezizathu ezihlobene - izimbangela eziningi ezinhle zihlobene. Ngoba ngibona amathuba amaningi kanye namaphutha amaningi.

Nansi eminye imibuzo isiko lethu elisicela ukuba siphendule kuyo:

Ingabe uhulumeni wase-US unemali eningi noma encane kakhulu?

Impendulo ebaluleke kakhulu ithi cha. Uhulumeni wase-US usebenzisa imali yakhe ngokweqile ezintweni ezingalungile. Okungaphezu kwalokho okudinga inani elihlukile lokusetshenziswa kwemali, kudinga uhlobo oluhlukile lokusebenzisa. E-United States, u-60% noma ngaphezulu wemali iCongress enquma ngayo unyaka ngamunye (ngoba Ukuphepha Komphakathi nokunakekelwa kwezempilo kuphathwa ngokwehlukana) iya empini. Lokho kungokweNational Priorities Project, nayo ethi, uma kucutshungulwa isabelomali sonke, futhi singabali isikweletu sempi edlule, futhi singabali ukunakekelwa komakadebona, impi isengu-16%. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-War Resisters League ithi u-47% wentela yase-US yentela iya kwezempi, okuhlanganisa nesikweletu sempi edlule, ukunakekelwa komakadebona, njll. Ngifunda izincwadi ngaso sonke isikhathi mayelana nesabelomali somphakathi sase-US kanye nomnotho wase-US ezingasho neze ngobukhona. wezempi nhlobo. Isibonelo sakamuva kakhulu yincwadi entsha yomlobi waseBrithani uGeorge Monbiot. Ngaba naye ohlelweni lwami lomsakazo ngambuza ngalokhu, futhi wathi wayengazi ukuthi imali engakanani ezempi yayingakanani. Wethuka. Kufanele sizibekele i-ajenda yethu ngisho nalapho isekelwe olwazini oluvame ukugwenywa, njengoba eqinisweni kwenziwe ngezinqumo zedolobha lapha eBerkeley.

Ingabe uDonald Trump muhle noma mubi, ufanele ukudunyiswa noma ukulahlwa?

Impendulo efanele inguyebo. Uma imibuso, njengoba kufanele umuntu abize ohulumeni abangebona abase-US, yenza okuhle, kufanele ayincome, futhi uma yenza okubi kufanele ayigxeke. Futhi uma kungamaphesenti angama-99 eyodwa yalezo zinto ezimbili, iphesenti elingu-1 elisele lokho elinye kusafanele kuvunywe. Ngifuna ukuthi uTrump abekwe icala futhi asuswe futhi kwezinye izimo ashushiswe ngohlu olude lokuhlukumeza. Bona izindatshana zokumbeka icala ezilungele ukuhamba ku-RootsAction.org. Ngifuna uNancy Pelosi, omelene ngokuqinile nokuthweswa icala kukaBush, uCheney, uTrump, uPence, noKavanaugh, wabuza ukuthi uma kukhona into angayibheka njengengenakuphikiswa. Kodwa futhi ngifuna amaDemocrat akade efuna ukuthi uTrump azonde kakhulu iRussia kanye neNorth Korea ukuthi abe nesihlalo futhi acabange buthule ukuthi ngabe ikhona yini imigomo abangacabanga ukuyibeka ngaphezu kokuchema. Kudingeka sisebenze ngezinqubomgomo, hhayi abantu. Ake sishiye ukugxila kobuntu kuma-fascists.

Ngabe iSyria kufanele iqhunyiswe ngamabhomu ngenxa yokusebenzisa izikhali zamakhemikhali noma isindiswe ngoba ayizange ikwenze lokho ngempela?

Impendulo efanele ithi cha, akekho odubula noma ubani, hhayi ngokusemthethweni, hhayi ngokweqiniso, hhayi ngokuziphatha. Abukho ubugebengu bokusebenzisa izikhali noma ukuba nezikhali obuthethelela noma yibuphi obunye ubugebengu, futhi akubona ubugebengu obukhulu kunabo bonke. Ukuchitha izinyanga kudingidwa ukuthi i-Iraq inezikhali akuhambisani nombuzo wokuthi ibhubhise i-Iraq. Impendulo yalowo mbuzo isobala futhi ingokomthetho neyokuziphatha okungafanele ilinde noma yikuphi ukukhanyiselwa kwamaqiniso angenamsebenzi.

Ingabe uqala ukubona iphethini? Ngokuvamile siyacelwa ukuthi sichithe isikhathi sethu emibuzweni engalungile, nezimpendulo ezitholakalayo ziyanqoba futhi umsila-silahlekelwa izimpendulo ezitholakalayo. Ungawuvotela umdlavuza noma isifo senhliziyo? Khetha okwakho. Ngeke ngiphikisane nokuvota okubi okuncane noma nokuvota okuqinile. Kungani mina? Kuyimizuzu engama-20 uphumile empilweni yakho. Ukucabanga okubi okuncane unyaka nonyaka wonke enginesikhalazo esikhulu ngakho. Lapho abantu bejoyina ithimba eliholwa ingxenye yezikhulu ezikhethiwe kuhulumeni, abazihlolayo, futhi bethi bafuna lokho okufunwa yileyo ngxenye kahulumeni ophukile, bazi ukuthi kuyohlehliswa kusukela lapho, uhulumeni omele uyaphambuka futhi uphendukezelwe. Izinyunyana zabasebenzi zafika edolobheni lami zatshela abantu ukuthi babenqatshelwe ukuthi “umkhokhi oyedwa” futhi kufanele benze amaphosta ngento ebizwa ngokuthi “inketho yomphakathi” ngoba yilokho okwakufunwa amaDemocrats eWashington. Lokho ukuzenzela isixhaso, ithuluzi. Okushoyo akufanele kube, futhi akumele, kulinganiselwe ngendlela omvotela ngayo.

Lokhu kubuza imibuzo engalungile ukuthi sifundiswa kanjani umlando, kanye nokubamba iqhaza komphakathi kwamanje, ngakho-ke ukuthi siholwa kanjani ukuze siqonde umhlaba.

Ingabe uyayisekela iMpi Yombango yase-US noma uvuna ubugqila?

Impendulo kufanele kube cha. Ukwehliswa okumangalisayo kobugqila kanye ne-serfdom kwakuyinhlangano yomhlaba wonke, eyaphumelela ezindaweni eziningi ngaphandle kwempi yombango enyantisayo. Uma besinganquma ukuqeda ukuboshwa kwabantu abaningi noma ukusetshenziswa kwenyama noma ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli wemvelo noma imidlalo ye-tv engokoqobo, besingeke sizuze kumodeli ethi siqale sithole izinkambu ezithile futhi sibulalane ngamanani amakhulu bese siqeda ukuboshwa. Imodeli efanele izoba ukumane uqhubeke nokuqeda ukuboshwa, kancane kancane noma ngokushesha, kodwa ngaphandle kokubulawa kwabantu abaningi, imiphumela emibi lapho esimweni seMpi Yombango yase-US, njengoba kwenzeka ezimweni eziningi, isekhona nathi ngokudabukisayo.

Ingabe i-plutocratic racist sexist imperialist ekhohlakele kufanele igwetshwe eNkantolo Ephakeme yase-US ngoba kungenzeka ihlukumeze ngokocansi? Ingabe kufanele siphikelele kumuntu okhohlakele obandlulula ngokobulili owaqamba amanga ngokusobala ongenacala kunoma yikuphi ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi? Lesi bekungesona isimo sanoma ngubani, kodwa lena bekuyinkulumompikiswano eyethulwa ngabezindaba kanye noKhongolose. Ngakho-ke, lena kwakuyinkulumo-mpikiswano okwangenwa kuyo kakhulu ngezicelo, ama-imeyili, izingcingo, abaphazamisi bokulalela, ababhikishi abahlezi emahhovisi eSigele, nezivakashi zabezindaba nabafonayo kanye nezincwadi eziya kumhleli. Ukube uKavanaugh ubevinjiwe futhi owesifazane olandela ngemuva kwakhe eqokiwe, kunzima ukubona ukuthi bekungenzeka kanjani ukumvimba. Ukuphikisa kwethu kuye bekufanele kusekelwe kuzo zonke izizathu ezitholakalayo esizithole ziphoqa.

Manje vele angabekwa icala akhishwe esikhundleni. Eqinisweni iyona ndlela kuphela, ngaphandle kodlame olubi, lokumsusa, kufushane nje kubuyekezwe uMthethosisekelo wasendulo wase-US. Kepha uNancy Pelosi umelene nokuthweswa icala, futhi abaningi abathembekile beDemokhrasi bakholelwa ukuthi ukulalela nokuziphatha kuyizinto ezinhle kakhulu. Nakhu engikucabangayo. Abameleli kufanele bamelele, bangalaleli imiyalelo yeqembu. Abameleli abangazibophezeli ekubekeni icala ngaphambi kokhetho mancane kakhulu amathuba okuba balusekele ngemva kokhetho. Futhi inkolelo-mbono yokuthi ukukhuluma ngokubekwa icala kuzoveza abavoti bamaRiphabhlikhi kodwa hhayi amaDemocrats ayisekelwe lutho ngaphandle kokuqagela kanye nemikhuba yokwesaba egxilile. Ngo-2006 inkolelo engamanga yokuthi amaDemocrats azogxeka uMongameli Bush kwavela abavoti beDemokhrasi, hhayi amaRepublican. Konke ukubekelwa icala okudumile emlandweni kukhuphule abameli balo, kuyilapho ukubekelwa icala okukodwa okungathandwayo - okukaBill Clinton - kulimaza abameli bayo kancane. Isiphetho umuntu angafinyelela kuso kulokho akukhona ukuthi ukumbeka icala akuvamile, kodwa ukuthi amagwala akholelwa ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba nephutha kunokunqoba.

Okufanayo kuyasebenza nasenkingeni esabalele ye-Pencedread, isifo esisha futhi esingakafundiwe esihlanganisa ukukholelwa ukuthi isizwe esingabamba izikhulu ezikhethiwe ziphendule futhi empeleni sibalahle ezindlebeni zabo kodwa okwaba noMike Pence eWhite House kuzoba kubi kakhulu. kunesizwe lapho omongameli bengenza noma yini abayithandayo, nalapho amakomiti e-Congressional abamba khona izithangami zomphakathi lapho amalungu awo evumelana ngazwi linye ukuthi awanawo amandla okuvimbela umongameli ukuthi aqalise impi yenuzi kodwa onalowo mfanekiso wobuhlakani bombuso uDonald. Trump esihlalweni sobukhosi. Angiyithengi. Ngicabanga ukuthi ihlakaniphe kakhulu ukuze izuze yona. Futhi nokho akuhlakaniphe neze. Uma kunento eyodwa cishe wonke umuntu ayaziyo ngepolitiki yaseMelika, wukuthi iphini likamengameli nguyena olandela isicoco. Ubani ongakwazi lokho? Ngicabanga ukuthi umbuzo obaluleke kakhulu akukona ukuthi ngubani othwala isicoco kodwa ukuthi siyasivumela yini ukuthi sibe yisicoco.

Angicabangi ukuthi ukuqaphela ukuthi lonke uhlelo lonakele kakhulu kwenezela noma kususa ubuhlakani bokuphikisana nokwenza labo abakulo balandise. Kwengeza nje emsebenzini odingekayo mayelana nemfundo yomphakathi kanye nezinguquko zesakhiwo. Ngenkathi amaDemocrat ethatha iningi ngo-2006, uNancy Pelosi wathi angeke avumele noma yikuphi ukugxekwa, njengoba nje ayeshilo ngaphambi kokhetho - noma besifuna ukucabanga ukuthi uqamba amanga noma sizoshintsha umqondo wakhe. Futhi uRahm Emanuel wathi amaDemocrats azogcina impi yase-Iraq iqhubeka - empeleni izoyikhulisa - ukuze ilwe nayo (noma ngabe lokho kusho ukuthini) futhi ngo-2008. Inqobo nje uma amaDemocrats engakhankasi ngokukholeka kunoma yini ebaluleke kakhulu kunalokho ngokuba nguTrump noma uPence noma uKavanaugh, bazofuna ukuthi labo bantu abaseduze "balwe." AmaDemokhrasi aqotho azovuma, futhi abazimele abaqinile bazomemezela ukuthweswa icala okufana nokuzinikela okuphambene nokuvukela umbuso kumaDemocrats, yize amaDemocrat ekuphikisa. Futhi lapho sizoba khona: amandla obukhosi angenamkhawulo, ama-despots esikhashana ashintshana phakathi kweqembu lakwesokudla kanye neqembu elikude kwesokudla, kuze kube lowo mzuzu wokugcina uchofozwa Ewashini Losuku Lwembubhiso.

Ubushoshovu ezweni elikhohlakele kuwumzabalazo ongenabulungiswa, kodwa sibona ukuqhuma okungenzeka. Sibone ukumelana okudumile kudlala indima enkulu ekumiseni ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eSyria ngo-2013, ngokwesibonelo. Sibone ingxenye ethile yabantu baseMelika ikhula ihlakanipha mayelana nempi kanye nezempi phakathi neminyaka eyi-17 edlule. Kulo nyaka sibone abangenele ukhetho kuCongress, bonke abesifazane kanye nawo wonke amaDemocrats, bewina ama-primaries ezifundeni eziboshelwe iqembu labo, akekho noyedwa kubo ogcizelela ukuphikiswa kwempi, akekho noyedwa kubo ofuna ukuqeda yonke impi, kodwa bonke, uma becindezelwe. , khuluma ngempi ngendlela cishe engekho ilungu leCongress lamanje noma lakamuva - kuhlanganise nalaba besifazane abane abathatha isikhundla, futhi kuhlanganise noBarbara Lee.

U-Ayanna Pressley ufuna ukunciphisa amasosha ngama-25%. U-Rashida Tlaib ubiza amasosha ngokuthi "indawo yokungena ezinkampanini zokwenza imali" futhi uhlongoza ukuhambisa imali ezidingweni zabantu nezemvelo. U-Ilhan Omar ugxeka izimpi zaseMelika njengezingahambisani nokubeka i-United States engcupheni, ufuna ukuvala izisekelo zakwamanye amazwe, futhi uqamba izimpi eziyisithupha zamanje zaseMelika azoziqeda. Futhi u-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, lapho ebuzwa ukuthi uzoyitholaphi imali yokukhokhela izinto, akamlandeli uBernie Sanders endleleni efile yokukhuphula intela, kodwa kunalokho uthi uzonciphisa isabelomali sezempi esikhulu kakhulu - okuyinto. imisa leyo mibuzo ethi “ungayithathaphi imali” imibuzo.

Manje, akekho kulaba abane ongase enze ngokwezitatimende zabo, futhi ukumangala okuthulile njengoKhongolose u-Ro Khanna angase abe ummeli wokuthula engakaze athembise ukuba njalo, kodwa ngokwezibalo akunakwenzeka. Abantu okungenzeka ukuthi bazimisele ukwenza ukuthula ezikhundleni zomphakathi yilabo abakhuluma esidlangalaleni sengathi abafuni nzuzo yezikhali ekugwazeleni kwabo emikhankasweni, er excuse me campaign contributions.

Ngabe uDonald Trump bekufanele aye kuCongress ngokuhambisana nomthetho ngaphambi kokuthumela imicibisholo eSyria? Cha. Ngiye emcimbini lapho uSenator u-Tim Kaine enze lesi simangalo. Angivumi. ICongress bekufanele yenqabele, inqamule noma iyiphi imali, futhi isabise ngokufaka icala kuleyo mpi, impi yaseYemen, nayo yonke enye impi. Kepha uTrump ukuya kuCongress ukuze athole imvume esemthethweni yokuqhumisa abantu eSyria kuwukukhohlisa okuyingozi. UKhongolose awunawo amandla okwenza ubugebengu bube semthethweni. Ngabuza uSenator Kaine ngalokhu. Ungayibuka ekhasini lami le-Youtube. Ngambuza ukuthi iCongress ingagunyaza kanjani ukwephulwa kwe-UN Charter kanye ne-Kellogg-Briand Pact. Uvumile ukuthi angeke kwenzeke, wabe esebuyela emuva ngokushesha futhi ngokungenangqondo ethi uTrump kufanele eze eCongress ukuze amacala akhe abe semthethweni. Uma iCanada iqhumisa ibhomu uBerkeley phakamisa isandla sakho uma ungaba nendaba ukuthi iphalamende noma undunankulu bakwenzile yini. Akukho okuzuziwe ngokuthi iCongress ingagunyaza ukwephulwa kwesivumelwano. Akudingekile ukuze iCongress ivimbele noma iqede impi; empeleni isebenza ngokumelene nalowo mgomo.

Kunendaba ukuthi sikhuluma kanjani. Uma siphikisa isikhali ngoba singasebenzi kahle, noma impi ngoba ishiya amasosha engazilungiselele ezinye izimpi, asiyithuthukisi imbangela yokuqeda yonke impi. Futhi akusizi ngandlela thize mayelana neziphetho zethu zamanje. Lizidubula onyaweni ngesihle.

Siphinde siphuthelwe lapho sihlola futhi silimaza izinhlangano zezishoshovu ezihlukahlukene ukuze sigweme ukulwa nezimpi. Umshini wempi wase-US ubulala ngokuyinhloko ngokuphambukisa imali. Izingxenye ezincane zezindleko zezempi zase-US zingaqeda indlala noma ukuntuleka kwamanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile emhlabeni noma zitshale imali eningi ekuvikelweni kwemvelo kunalokho amaqembu emvelo aphupha ngakho. Ngaleso sikhathi amasosha angomunye wababhubhisi abakhulu kakhulu bomhlaba, futhi anikezwe imvume yezivumelwano nezishoshovu. Ikolishi lamahhala belingeke libize ngaphezu kwe-Pentagon evame "izindawo ezilahlekile." Ukuhlukunyezwa okuphikiswa yizinhlangano ezilwela inkululeko kugqugquzelwa impi ezingeke ziyisho. Besingaba nomfelandawonye wezindaba eziningi oqine ngendlela emangalisayo uma izinhlangano eziningi ezisebenza ngezizathu ezinhle bezingesatshiswa ngokuphelele amafulegi namaculo esizwe. Lokho, ngaphezu kokuphikisana nokubulawa kwabantu ngokobuhlanga, yingakho abanye bethu bejabula uma abasubathi beguqa. Singathanda ukubona i-Sierra Club noma i-ACLU ithola isibindi nokuziphatha okuhle njengomdlali webhola.

Ezinye zezishoshovu ezikhuthaza kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva kube abantu abaphuma ezikhumulweni zezindiza nakwezinye izindawo ukuphikisa ukuvinjelwa kwamaSulumane nokuvikela ababaleki. Kuyihlazo ukuthi uhlobo olufanayo lokukhathazeka alwenziwanga ukuvikela izisulu zokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu - ngisho noma sinevidiyo yezingane ezincane ebhasini - nokuvimbela ukucekelwa phansi okuguqula abantu babe ababaleki.

Sigqugquzelwe abafundi besikole samabanga aphezulu abagxeka indawo yokwamukela izibhamu kulandela isigameko sokudubula esenzeka eFlorida. Kodwa ukuzithiba kwabo okuqinile ngokungasho ukuthi umbulali wayeqeqeshwe yiButho Lase-US endaweni yokudlela yesikole futhi wayegqoke ihembe lakhe le-ROTC ngenkathi ebulala abantu abaningi akucatshangwa kangako. Ukuphromotha kwabo amavidiyo aphakamisa ukuthi amasosha namaphoyisa kufanele abe nezibhamu kuyilapho amanye kungafanele abangele ukugxekwa okuncane engikwaziyo.

Bekujabulisa eminyakeni emithathu edlule ukubona isivumelwano phakathi kweMelika namanye amazwe ne-Iran sinqoba ukukhala ngempi yase-Iran. Kodwa olunye uhlangothi lwaqamba amanga lwathi i-Iran iphishekela izikhali zenuzi ngakho-ke kufanele iqhunyiswe ngamabhomu, kanti olunye uhlangothi lwaqamba amanga lwathi i-Iran ilandela izikhali zenuzi ngakho-ke akufanele iqhunyiswe ngamabhomu kodwa ihlolwe. Manje njengoba ukuhlolwa sekukhombisile obekuvele kwaziwa, okungukuthi i-Iran ibikade ingaziphishekeli izikhali zenuzi, bambalwa abantu abakwazi ukuzwa lokho. Futhi i-Israel, enezikhali zenuzi kodwa engahlolisiswanga, kanye nabalingani bayo kuhulumeni wase-US banomphakathi wase-US endaweni engcono yenkulumo-ze yempi yase-Iran kunangaphambi kokuba kufinyelelwe esivumelwaneni. Futhi ngithi nika amasosha isikweletu ngezinqubomgomo zawo eziluhlaza: izosebenzisa kabusha i-100% yenkulumo-ze yayo yase-Iraq nge-Iran.

Ngenkathi uTrump esabisa nge-nuke Korea, abaningi baphikisa ngokuzwakalayo. Kodwa lapho enza noma yimuphi umnyakazo oqonde ekuthuleni, iningi labantu abafanayo laliphikisa kakhulu. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi i-United States ihlomisa futhi iqeqesha iningi lomashiqela bomhlaba, ukukhuluma nje nomuntu oyedwa eNyakatho Korea kuyisono kangangokuthi ukumelana okukhulu kungase kulandele amacala okuvukela umbuso uma uTrump evumela amaKorea ukuthi ekugcineni enze ukuthula noma aqhubekele phambili. nokwenza ngaphandle kwakhe.

Futhi ngicela - ngiyazi ukuthi ngibuza ngeze - kepha ungangiqalisi ku-Russiagate. Yini okufanele ngicabange ukuthi uPutin anayo engaphoxa uDonald Trump, indoda eziphoxa ngamabomu nsuku zonke nganoma iyiphi indlela ayibalayo izonyusa kakhulu izilinganiso kuhlelo lwangempela alucabangayo ukuthi uhlala kulo? Iyiphi ingxenye ethengiwe futhi yakhokhelwa ngokuphelele, ehlanjululwe ngokucwasa ngokwebala, okuxhunyanwa ngayo nezinkampani, ukukhwabanisa okuyinhloko, i-ID'd yomvoti, udlame olugqugquzelwa ngokusobala umuntu omele ukhetho, uhlelo lokhetho lwamabhokisi amnyama olungaqinisekisiwe okufanele ngicabange ukuthi lonakaliswe izikhangiso ze-Facebook cishe akekho owabona kodwa ukuvimbela okuvala i-inthanethi emibonweni ebekela inselele amandla? Manje niyabo, nihambe futhi ngaqala.

KULUNGILE, ngakho-ke senza izinto ezithile ezingalungile. Kufanele ngabe senzani? Kufanele ngabe sisebenza endaweni kanye nasemhlabeni jikelele, sinobushoshovu obuncane kanye nokungabonakali kwethu ezingeni likazwelonke.

World BEYOND War usebenza kumaphrojekthi ambalwa ngaphezu kwezemfundo. Esinye isisekelo sokuvala, esivumela abantu emhlabeni wonke ukuthi bahlanganise imizamo yethu ukuze bathole umgomo owodwa. Okunye ukwehlukana nezikhali, okungahlanganisa abantu ndawonye ukuze kuphumelele ukunqoba okungafinyeleleka - okuhlanganisa naseBerkeley - futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo kufundise umphakathi futhi kucwase ukwenza inzuzo ngokubulala.

Kufanele singabi nabudlova ngokuphelele futhi sizibophezele esidlangalaleni ukuthi singabi nabudlova kukho konke esikwenzayo. Amandla angavela ngokwenza lokho ngezinga elikhulu angase abe makhulu kunalokho esikucabangayo.

Futhi kufanele esikhundleni sokukhathazeka kwethu ngethemba noma ukuphelelwa ithemba ngokukhathazeka ngokuthi sisebenza ndawonye ngokuhlakanipha ngokwanele yini nangokwenele ngokwanele. Umsebenzi ngokwawo, njengoba uCamus' Sisyphus esho, uyasijabulisa. Kuyafezeka uma sikwenza ndawonye ngendlela esikwazi ngayo, okuhloswe ngayo ngqo empumelelweni ngendlela esingayithola ngayo. Ukuthi sibikezela impumelelo noma ukwehluleka akubalulekile, futhi izinto ziba zimbi kakhulu, kuba nesizathu esiningi sokusebenza, hhayi okuncane. Izinguquko ezinkulu ziye zafika emhlabeni ngokushesha ngokumangalisayo, kodwa njalo ngenxa yokuthi abantu babezinikele ekusebenzeleni lolo shintsho kakhulu kangangokuthi abazange babe naso isikhathi sokukhathazeka ngethemba noma ukuphelelwa ithemba. Lezo izinto eziwubukhazikhazi esingeke sikwazi ukuzikhokhela njengamanje. Uma lokho kungakukhuthazi, mhlawumbe ukufunda u-Joanna Macy kuzokusiza! Kodwa ngandlela thize sidinga wonke umuntu kuleli gumbi nezinye izigidi ezingaphandle kwalo emphemeni futhi ziyasebenza kusukela lapha kuye phambili. Masiqede yonke impi ndawonye.
