Ngo-Ann Garrison, ngoMashi 8, 2018, I-Consortiumnews.com.

UMongameli Trump ucele i-Pentagon ukuthi ihlele ukuqhutshwa kwezempi eWashington DC ngosuku lukaVeteran, ngoNovemba 11. AmaDemokhrasi ahlambalaze izindleko nokuzibandakanya okugunyazayo, futhi amaqembu e-antiwar ahlela u-counter. Ngikhulume noMargaret Flowers, udokotela wezokwelapha, isishoshovu se-Green Party, kanye nomsunguli we-website yezindaba ethi Popular Resistance, ophakathi kwalabo abahlela i-countermarch.

Ann Garrison: UMargaret, ingabe lo mdlalo unamagama okwamanje, futhi ungasitshela ngani ngokuhlanganyela okuhlela?

Izimbali zaseMargaret: Kuze kube manje umbumbano ubizwa nje ngokuthi "i-No Trump Military Parade." Umgomo wethu ukuthola abantu abaningi kangaka ababhalisele ukuza ukuthi uTump uzizwa ecindezelekile ukuwukhansela. Uma lokho kungeke kwenzeke, sithemba ukuthi singakwazi ukugqugquzela abantu abaningi ukuba bafike eWashington DC ukuphikisana nayo ngaphandle kweTrump ingaba yingxenye yokuyixhasa.

Ngokuqondene nokuhlangana, futhi lokhu kusengumfana osemusha, sithole ukuthi izinhlangano eziningana ezibizwa ngokuthi i-Popular Resistance zisebenza nazo zihlela izimpendulo ezenzweni zempi. I-ANSWER ibeka ucingo ukuze abantu babonise. Ama-Veterans for Peace kanye nezinye izinhlangano zabo ezihlanganyelwe babehlela abakwa-veteran kanye namakethe okuthula emdabu ngaleyo ntshonalanga, benomyalezo wokuthola usuku lwe-Armistice Day, okuyilokho okwakusungulwa yi-Veterans Day. Ngokuthakazelisayo, lokhu kungukugubha iminyaka eyikhulu yeSuku lokuqala se-Armistice, ekupheleni kweMpi Yezwe I.

World Beyond War kwakwengeza nokuthi abantu bangene ngemvume ukuze baphikise lo mbukiso, ngakho-ke sacabanga ukuthi, “Kungani singabahlanganisi bonke laba bantu futhi senze lokhu kube ngumbukiso omkhulu wokuphikisana nezempi ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe?” Sibe nekholi lethu lokuqala lokuhlola ngesonto eledlule futhi sathola ukuthi bekunamandla amaningi nobunye obuningi emiyalezweni yethu yokulwa nombuso wase-US, ezempi, kanye nokuqina kwezidingo zomphakathi. Abantu abangemuva kwalokhu yiwona wonke amaqembu aphikisana ngokuqinile neqembu lenkampani yempi, futhi abebesebenza ukuvuselela inhlangano yokuthula e-United States.

AG: Abanye balabo abazisho njengabavukeli bezokuthula ngeke ngokungangabazeki bathi lo mjaho usabela kuTrump, hhayi ezimpini nasekukhiqizeni izikhali eziqhubeka zikhula kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubani oMhlophe. Iyini impendulo yakho?

MF: Manje ukuthi uMengameli uTrump usehhovisi, lokho kukukhathazeka ngoba yilokho amaqembu eDemocratic Party kanye neqembu ngokwalo lapho amaRiphabhliki esemandleni. Basebenzisa lezi zinkinga ngezinhloso zabo.

Kuyathakazelisa, futhi ngiyazi ukuthi uyazi ngalokhu, ukuthi iMashikazi yabesifazane ayengeyona impi ngokumelene nempi yase-US. Phakathi kwalabo ababizwa ngokuthi abaqhubekayo beDemocratic Party okhethwayo abagijima kule mijikelezo yonyaka, angizange ngibone noma ubani onesipiliyoni esinamandla se-antimilitarist. Ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi ezinye zaleziqembu zamaDemocratic Party zizozama ukuvikela lesi sizame futhi zizisebenzise ngezinhloso zazo, kodwa bonke abantu namaqembu ahlela lokhu aphikisana neqembu lezempi leqembu le-duopoly.

Ngicabanga ukuthi kubalulekile kithi ukuthi sikwenze kucace ukuthi i-United States inomlando omude wezempi, nokuthi ilokhu ikhula ngaphansi koongameli bamuva. Obama wayebi kakhulu kunoBush. I-Trump izama ukuphuma ku-Obama. Akuyona indaba yokuthi ngubani osesendlini e-White House noma yiyiphi inhlangano eningi enkampanini. Kungukuthi i-United States yiyona umbuso omkhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni, futhi sinomshini wezempi onamandla kakhulu ofuna ukuba udliwe njalo. Ngakho-ke ngisho noma amanye alawa malungu eDemocratic Party engena ngemvume, angase abe wanezela izinombolo, kodwa ngethemba lokuthi ngeke ahlaziye umlayezo.

AG: March ka-Women on the Pentagon, okungezona ukusabela kuTrump kodwa empini nokulwa nempi, ihlelwe ngo-Okthoba 20-21, umkhosi we-51st we-1967 March ePentagon ehlelwe yiNational Mobilization ukuqeda iMpi YeVietnam. Ingabe uzojoyina noma usekele lo mkhankaso?

MF: Sijabule kakhulu ngoMashi Wabafazi ePentagon. Ngicabanga, njengawe, ngigweme ukuhlanganyela emagqabeni angaphambilini abesifazane ngoba ayehlelwe ngabantu abayingxenye yesakhiwo samandla. Kuyathakazelisa ukubona ukuthi kwenzekani ngaleyo ndlela ngoba abantu abasezingeni eliphansi babengabonakali bebonke kanye nalabo abaholayo. Kodwa, futhi, kwakungekho nhlobo eqinile ye-antimilitarism kulawo mahamba. Ngakho sasijabule kakhulu lapho uCindy Sheehan ememezela uMashi kaMatshi ePentagon. Ngangizizwa ngathi, "Maye, manje nanguMashi kaMashi Ngizozizwa ngikhululekile ukuhlanganyela," ngakho ukuDumelana Okudumile kwakungenye yezinhlangano zokuqala ukungena ngemvume kulokho. Siphakamise ku-website yethu, futhi ngizoba khona, futhi sizobe sisekela nganoma iyiphi indlela esingayenza.

AG: Uma ucabanga ukuthi ukuqhuma kweTumpump kuya phambili, akungabazeki ukuthi kuyoba inqwaba yezindaba zomphakathi emhlabeni wonke, futhi ama-optics ayoba nzima kakhulu emhlabeni uma kungekho ukumelana okubonakalayo. Ingabe uzobe ususebenzisana neqhinga lezokuxhumana ngalokhu engqondweni?

MF: Lesi esinye sezizathu eziyinhloko esasizizwa siphoqelelwe ukuba sihlele eduze ne-Trump's war parade. Abantu emhlabeni wonke bayaqhubeka bebuza, "Uphi ukunyakaza kwezempi e-United States? Nina bantu nibahlukumezi, ngakho-ke kungani ningenzi lutho ngalokho izwe lakho elikwenza kulo lonke izwe? "Ngakho-ke ukuba nalolu hlobo lwamandla oluzungeze le mpi yezempi-lokhu kubonakaliswa okukhulu nokukhazimuliswa kwempi-kuyithuba lethu e-United States ukukhombisa izwe ukuthi kukhona ukuphikiswa umbuso wase-US kanye nezimpi zobudlova, kuhlanganise nalabo okuthiwa ukungenelela komuntu okuqhubekayo okusekela kakhulu. Futhi, ngaphezu kokuba nemibhikisho eWashington DC, siyazama ukufinyelela kubambisene bethu bamazwe ngamazwe emhlabeni jikelele futhi sibacela ukuba babambe izenzo ngalolo suku futhi. Futhi-ke kunezinhlobo eziningi zemidiya yamazwe ngamazwe ku-DC, futhi uma senza izinyathelo ezinkingeni ezihlukahlukene, sivame ukuthola ukwaziswa okuvela emithonjeni yamazwe ngamazwe kunabanye abezindaba base-US. Ngakho nakanjani sizobafinyelela kubo.

AG: Ucabanga ukuthi i-countermarch izovunyelwa ukuthola noma ikuphi eduze kwePentagon, futhi ucabangele ukuthi lokhu kungase kube yimbhikisho eyingozi?

MF: Inzuzo yokuba nabalingani bezombusazwe empeleni asekelwe eWashington DC ukuthi bangafaka izicelo zezimvume lapho nje kudingekile isidingo, futhi izimvume zinikezelwa ekufikeni kokuqala, kuqala ukukhonza khona lapho. Ngokushesha nje lapho uMongameli Trump ebeka umyalezo wokuthi angase abe nesigameko sezempi ngosuku lweVeterans, izinhlangano esizisebenzisana nazo zisheshe zisetshenziselwe izimvume ezindaweni eziningi njengoba zingase zicabange ukuthi zingasetshenziswa kuphi. Ngakho-ke sizoba nezimvume zokusondelana ne-parade, futhi sazifaka isicelo ngaphambi kwanoma yimaphi amaqembu angafika ukusekela.

Mayelana nokuthi kungaba yingozi yini: amaphoyisa ase-DC asetshenziselwa kahle ukubhekana nokuphikisana, futhi iningi lazo liqondisisa ukuchitshiyelwa kwethu kokuqala ilungelo lokukhuluma. Akusilo njalo icala; amaphoyisa ayenesihluku eduze nokuvulwa kukaTrump, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi bangazisola ngalokho. Umphakathi ukhulu kakhulu nathi, futhi abantu abaningi emasosheni baphikisana nalesi sibonakaliso esiphezulu sempi, lokhu kuchitha imali kanye nesikhathi, futhi. Uma kunokuvulwa okukhulu, lokho kuyisivikelo. Amaphoyisa angeke abe namathuba amaningi okungaziphathi kahle uma kunabantu abaningi abaseduze.

AG: Ukunyakaza kokuthula konke kodwa kwaphela kwaphela kusukela ekubukeni ngesikhathi iminyaka engu-8 e-Obama ehhovisi, naphezu kwezimpi ezintsha zase-US eLibya naseSiriya, ukuqhuma kweMpi yase-US e-Afghanistan, nokwandiswa kwama-US kanye nokulwa kwamabutho ezweni lonke lase-Afrika. Uma inhlangano yokuthula iphinda ivela ngaphansi kweTrump, ucabanga ukuthi ingasinda ekukhethweni komunye umongameli weDemocratic Party?

MF: Kwakunzima ukubona inhlangano yama-antiwar kodwa yonke inyamalala ngenkathi Obama engumongameli. Yiqiniso sasivele siphikisana nokuphikisa, futhi lapho sisiza ukuhlela umsebenzi weNkululeko Plaza ku-2011, yayihlanganisa ingxenye enkulu kakhulu yempi. Kwadumaza ukubona ababhikishi bezempi bephikisana nomengameli weDemocratic Republic owayengumlindi omkhulu. Ngakho-ke kufanele siqhubeke sisebenza ekuvuseleleni nasekukhuleni inhlangano yezempi lapha, futhi sizame ukubonisa ukuthi lokhu kuhamba ngamaqembu ezombusazwe, ukuthi bobabili abaDemocratic and Republican baxhaswe ngemali futhi bavunyelwa yibo abakhiqizi bezikhali nazo zonke ezinye izakhi zenkampani yezimboni . Isabelomali sezempi se-2018 i-$ 700 billion, futhi iqhubeka ikhula. Manje idla i-57% yemali yethu yokuqaphela, ishiya kuphela i-43% yemfundo, ezokuthutha, izindlu, nazo zonke ezinye izidingo zethu zomuntu.

Kudingeka sibonise ukuthi lokhu kusenza sivikeleke kancane njengesizwe ngokudala inzondo eyengeziwe kithi emhlabeni jikelele futhi sihlukanise nomphakathi womhlaba wonke. Ezinye izizwe ekugcineni zithola isibindi esikhulu sokuma futhi zithi azifuni ukuxhashazwa noma ukulawulwa yilokho. Ngakho lokhu kubuhlungu wonke umuntu ongashadile e-United States, kanye nezixuku zabantu abahluphekayo bonke abalimala kanye nokulimala nokudabuka okubangelwa izimpi zase-US. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubani osehhovisi, kufanele siphumelele i-United States ukuba ibuyise amabutho ethu emagqeni angaphandle, sivale phansi i-800 yethu noma izinsizakalo ezingaphezulu zempi, futhi siqondise kabusha izidingo zethu ezinganeni zabantu lapha kanye nokubuyiswa kwayo yonke imonakalo esiyitholile kwenziwe emhlabeni jikelele.

AG: Abalaleli bangathola kanjani ulwazi oluthe xaxa futhi / noma bangene ngemvume ukuze bahlanganyele noma bahlanganyele ekuhleleni umlingisi kaNovemba 11?

MF: Sithole iwebhusayithi kuphela: Ayikho i-Trump Military Parade.
