Amaphoyisa Amanga

NguDavid Swanson, World BEYOND War, Juni 24, i-2022

Ngabhala incwadi eminyakeni edlule ebizwa Impi Ngamanga, siphikisa ngokuthi konke esikutshelwayo okusekela ukudalwa kwezimpi akulona iqiniso.

Ukufana phakathi kohlelo lwamaphoyisa nokushushiswa kweziboshwa nohlelo lwezempi kukhulu. Angiqondile ukuxhumana okuqondile, ukuhamba kwezikhali, ukugeleza komakadebona. Ngiqonde ukufana: ukwehluleka ngamabomu ukusebenzisa ezinye izindlela eziphakeme, umbono wodlame osetshenziselwa ukuthethelela imibono enyantisayo, nezindleko nenkohlakalo.

Akuyona imfihlakalo ukuthi idiplomacy kanye nomthetho, ukubambisana nenhlonipho, ukuvikela umphakathi okungahlomile kanye nokuhoxiswa kwezikhali kusebenza kangcono kunempi, kunemiphumela emibi embalwa embi, ukudala izixazululo ezihlala njalo, futhi kubiza kancane kakhulu.

Ikakhulukazi ayikho imfihlo yokuthi ukunciphisa ubumpofu, inethiwekhi yokuphepha komphakathi, imisebenzi emihle, ukuthuthukiswa kwabazali, izikole, nezinhlelo zentsha zivimbela ubugebengu kangcono kunamaphoyisa namajele, kuyilapho zenza umonakalo omncane futhi zibiza ingxenyenamba.

Yebo, uMmeli Wesifunda waseSan Francisco usanda kukhunjulwa ngabavoti ngokungabi “qinile ebugebengwini.” Kodwa yilokho iphuzu. Wanciphisa ubugebengu, nokho abantu abakholelwa ukuthi ukukhangisa kwezinkampani banquma ukuthi “ukuqina ebugebengwini” kungaba ngcono kunokunciphisa ubugebengu. Laba ngabantu abafanayo abazohalalisela noma iyiphi impi abayithokozela ithelevishini yabo, okungenani izinyanga ezingama-20 noma ngaphezulu, ngemuva kwalokho bazomemezela ukuthi bekungamele kuqalwe noma ngabe ukuphetha kungaba yinhlamba emabuthweni isidingo sokuqhubeka nokubulala nokufa kuwo unomphela.

Abashushisi abangosopolitiki abangcono, njengoKamala Harris, babhala izincwadi mayelana nokuthi yini engasebenza kangcono, ngaphandle kokwenza okungcono kakhulu. Kodwa iqiniso lokuthi umuntu ofana noHarris angabhala incwadi ebizwa I-Smart on Crime ukwenqaba ubugebengu obuqinile kukutshela ukuthi kuncane kangakanani okudingekayo kugcinwa kuyimfihlo. Njengoba u-Irvin Waller ebonisa encwadini yakhe Isayensi Nezimfihlo Zokuqeda Ubugebengu Obunobudlova, iZizwe Ezihlangene nohulumeni abahlukahlukene bamemezela obala izinhloso zabo zokwenza lokho kanye okudingekayo ukuze kuncishiswe ubugebengu obunobudlova; abakwenzi nje.

“Landela isayensi!” kuvame ukumenyezelwa maqondana nenqubomgomo yezemvelo, eqhubeka ishaya indiva ngokuphelele isayensi. Kodwa akukho ngisho ukuzenzisa uma kukhulunywa ngokuphakama okuqinisekisiwe kwamathuluzi angenabo ubudlova kunqubomgomo yezangaphandle noma amathuluzi aziwa ngokunqanda ubugebengu kunokuba asabele ngokungenangqondo kubo.

Incwadi ka-Waller yenza icala eliqinile loshintsho olukhulu endleleni yokwenza. Ngo-2017, ubhala ukuthi, kwabulawa abantu abangu-17,000 kwathi abangu-1,270,000 badlwengulwa e-United States. Amathuluzi anciphise udlame lapho kuzanywa azitshwa ngokungenasizathu. Khonamanjalo ukwanda kwamaphoyisa - okungahlobene nobugebengu obuncane kodwa nobuningi - kuphindaphindwa ngokungenangqondo, isikhathi ngasinye kulindelwe umphumela ohlukile. Amajele, nawo angahambelani nobugebengu obunciphile, akhiwa abe makhudlwana futhi amakhulu. Njengempi, i-United States idlula kude enye i-96% yabantu uma kuziwa ekwakheni amajele egameni lokukhuluma nalelo dimoni elingapheli, "imvelo yomuntu."

Njengokususa imali ebuthweni lezempi iye ekungabini kodlame, sidinga imali isuswe ebuphoyiseni nasekuboshweni iye ezindleleni ezinamandla kakhulu.

U-Waller uyazibuza ukuthi kungani amaqembu ezishoshovu ebeka phambili ukuboshwa kwalabo abalahlwe amacala angenalo udlame, kuyilapho labo ababoshelwe ubugebengu obunobudlova kuyiqembu elikhulu, futhi ulwazi lwendlela yokuvimbela ubugebengu obunjalo lutholakala kalula. Indlela enjani lena yokuqeda amajele?

Akungabazeki ukuthi umbuzo unezimpendulo, kodwa ngizowuphendula. Kunenkolelo yemilingo esabalele ebubini bemvelo nobuphakade nobungenakulungiseka balabo abanecala lobudlova, kanye nenkolelo engenangqondo yokuthi ngcono izimpilo zabantu abasha ukuze kuvinjelwe ubugebengu obuzayo obuphikisana nokujeziswa okunonya, impindiselo, nokulunga kwesikhathi esidlule. ubugebengu. Ukuze siqhubeke sizonda izigebengu, kufanele sigweme ukwazi ukuthi izindlu nezikole ezihloniphekile bekuzobenza bangabi izigebengu, njengoba nje kuwumsebenzi wethu njengabazondayo bakaPutin abalungile, abanomthwalo wemfanelo wokubethela noma ubani owake waphakamisa ezinye izindlela ezinengqondo esikhundleni sokwakha kancane kancane kuze kube yimanje. impi.

Yiqiniso, impi iyibhizinisi elikhulu. Izimpi zilwelwa ngokwakhiwa kwezikhali, futhi zidale ukwakhiwa kwezikhali ezengeziwe. Ukuthula kubi kakhulu ebhizinisini lezikhali. Futhi izinkampani zezikhali zinxenxa ngokukhululekile izinqubomgomo ezikhuthaza ukufudumala.

“Ubulungisa” nakho kuyibhizinisi elikhulu. Ohulumeni basekhaya balahla izinsiza zabo emaphoyiseni njengohulumeni bezwe empini. Futhi "ukuphepha" okuyimfihlo kuyibhizinisi elikhulu nakakhulu. Lawa mabhizinisi adinga ubugebengu ngendlela efanayo naleyo u-Lockheed-Martin adinga ngayo impi. Akekho osebenza kanzima ukususa abashushisi abehlisa ubugebengu (ngokunciphisa uhlelo “lobulungiswa” bobugebengu) kunamaphoyisa.

Kungani sikubekezelela? Inkinga akukhona nje ukuthanda izwe nomculo wempi. Lezo zinto azidluliseli emaphoyiseni nasekuboshweni. Inkinga enkulu, ngicabanga, ukusekela kokubili impi namaphoyisa (kanye nokumakethwa kwempi njengendlela yamaphoyisa omhlaba) inkolelo nokunamathela odlameni, kokubili ngalokho okucatshangwa ukuthi kufezeke nangenxa yayo.
