Kusukela Magasinet Motvind
Siphila esikhathini sokwaziswa, lapho izindaba ezivela kuzo zonke izingxenye zomhlaba zifinyeleleka kalula. Izinkinga zomhlaba zibekwe phambi kwethu, njengoba sipheqa ngokuphakelayo etafuleni kwasekuseni. Ngezinye izikhathi kungase kubonakale sengathi sihamba phambili emkhathini, phakathi kokwazi okwanele ukusishukumisela ukuba senze ishintsho, noma ukwazi okuningi kangangokuthi kugxila futhi kusilimaza ekuthatheni isenzo.
Lapho sihlola ubuningi bezenhlalakahle kanye nezokuhlalisana kwezinto eziphilayo ezibhekene nazo, izikhungo zempi zikhona enhliziyweni yenkinga. Impi iyimbangela ephezulu yokuguguleka kwe izinkululeko zomphakathi, isisekelo se-hyper-militari yamaphoyisa esendaweni, isisusa sokwenza ubandlululo nokucwasana, ithonya elilandela isiko lobudlova oluhlasela impilo yethu ngokusebenzisa imidlalo yamavidiyo namafilimu aseHollywood (amaningi ayo asekelwa ngemali, ahlaziywe, futhi alotshwe yi-US ejensi ukuveza impi ngokukhanya kweqhawe), kanye negalelo eliyinhloko kumbaleki womhlaba jikelele okhulayo futhi izinkinga zezulu.
Izigidi zamahektha eYurophu, eNyakatho ye-Afrika nase-Asia zivinjelwe ngenxa yezigidi zezigidi zezimayini zomhlaba namabhomu amaqoqo ushiye ngemuva kwempi. Amakhulu ezisekelo zezempi emhlabeni wonke ashiya umonakalo ohlala njalo emvelweni, emanzini, emoyeni nase isimo sezulu. I-"UMnyango Wezokuvikela" yase-United States ithumele ngaphezulu i-CO2 ku-2016 kunezinye izizwe ze-160 emhlabeni wonke kuhlangene.
Yileli lens eliphelele, ekhombisa ukuxubana okujulile phakathi kwempi nokungalingani, ukucwasa ubuhlanga nokubhujiswa kwemvelo, okwangenza ngiye emsebenzini World BEYOND War. Isekelwe ku-2014, World BEYOND War kwavela isidingo sokunyakaza kwamazwe ngamazwe okuphikisana ngokuphelele nesikhungo sonke sempi - zonke izinhlobo zempi, ubudlova, nezikhali - futhi kuphakamisa uhlelo lokuphepha lomhlaba jikelele, olulodwa ngokusekelwe ekuthuleni nasekudambiseni.
Eminyakeni emihlanu kamuva, amashumi ezinkulungwane zabantu abavela emazweni angama-175 emhlabeni wonke asayine iSivumelwano Sokuthula sethu, athembisa ukuthi azosebenza ngokungenazihluku world beyond war. Senze uhlu lwezinsizakusebenza ukuze sikhiphe izinganekwane zempi futhi sinikeze amasu wokuvikela ukuphepha, ukulawula izingxabano ngokungenasidina, nokuhlakulela isiko lokuthula. Izinhlelo zethu zemfundo zifaka incwadi yethu, umhlahlandlela wokufunda nowokwenza, uchungechunge lwe-webinar, izifundo eziku-inthanethi, kanye nephrojekthi yamabhodi amabhodi womhlaba wonke. Sibeke amabhodi okukhangisa emhlabeni wonke ukunaka iqiniso lokuthi impi iyi- $ 2 trillion ngonyaka ibhizinisi, imboni eqhubeka ngaphandle kwenzuzo ngaphandle kwenzuzo yezezimali. Isikhangiso sethu esilahla umhlathi kakhulu esilahla umhlathi: “Amaphesenti ama-3 kuphela emali echithelwa ezempi yase-US - noma u-1.5% wemali esetshenziswa embuthweni wezempi - kungaba ukuqeda indlala emhlabeni. "
Njengoba sibhekana nalolu lwazi olunzima, futhi sifuna ukwenza ushintsho oluhlelekile ekubhekaneni nezempi, ububha, ubandlululo, ukubhujiswa kwemvelo, nokunye okuningi, kubalulekile ukuthi sihlanganise imiyalezo kanye namaqhinga wokumelana, ngokulandelana nokuphila komqondo wokuzimela . Njengomhleli, ngivame ukuthola impendulo kubazingcweti kanye nezisebenzi zokuzithandela ezishiswayo ngokuncenga nokungapheli nokuncintisana, imiphumela emihle kakhulu ye-glacially. Lezi zenzo zokuphikisa, zokugqugquzela ukuguqulwa kwenqubomgomo ezivela kubamele bethu abakhethiwe, ziyingxenye eyinhloko yomsebenzi odingekayo ukusishukumisela ukuba sisebenzise enye indlela yokuphepha yomhlaba jikelele, lapho izinhlaka zomthetho nezinhlaka zokubusa zixhasa ubulungiswa ngenzuzo.
Kodwa-ke, akwanele wedwa ukuthi asayine izicelo, uye emibuthanweni, bese ubiza izikhulu zakho ezikhethiwe. Ngokubambisana nezinqubomgomo zokuguqula kanye nezakhiwo zokubusa, kufanele sakha kabusha umphakathi, ngokucubungula kabusha izindlela esisebenzisayo - izindlela zokulima, ukukhiqiza, ukuthutha kanye namandla - hhayi nje ukwehlisa amandla eco, kepha ngaphezu kwalokho, imikhuba yamasiko nokuvuselela umnotho wendawo. Le ndlela esebenzayo yokwenza izinguquko, ngokukhetha izinketho zokuphila kanye nokwakhiwa komphakathi, kubaluleke kakhulu, ngoba iyasondla ngendlela yokuthi ukuphikiswa kwedwa kungeke kwenzeke. Ibuye ivumelanise izindinganiso zethu kanye nemibono yezombangazwe ngokukhetha kwethu kwansuku zonke, futhi, ngokuyisisekelo, kusisondeza ohlelweni oluhlukile esikufunayo. Ibeka i-agency ezandleni zethu, ukuthi ngenkathi sicelela izikhulu zethu ezikhethiwe ukuba sishintshe, sithatha izinyathelo empilweni yethu ukuze sikhuthaze ubulungiswa nokusimama, ngokubuyisela nokuthola ukufinyelela komhlaba nokuphila.
Ukuhlukaniswa yilezi zindlela ezihlanganisa ngokukhethekile ukumelana nokuvuselelwa. World BEYOND War iyilungu elisungula leSahlukaniso esivela ku-War Machine Coalition, umkhankaso ohlose ukuthatha inzuzo ngempi ngokuhlukanisa izimali ezizimele, izikhungo, kanye nohulumeni ezivela abakhiqizi bezikhali nezinkontileka zempi. Ucezu oluyinhloko lomsebenzi yingxenye yesibili, i-reinvestment. Njengoba izimali zomphakathi nezangasese ezingenayo imali ezinkampanini ezihlinzeka ngamathuluzi empi, lezo zimali kumele zivuselelwe izixazululo ezithintekayo emphakathini ezikhuthaza ukusimama, ukuxhobisa umphakathi, nokuningi. I-dollar ye-dollar, a I-University of Massachusetts isifundo imibhalo yokuthi ukutshala izimali ngezimboni zokuthula ezifana nokunakekelwa kwezempilo, imfundo, ukuhamba ngokukhululeka, nokwakhiwa kuzokwenza imisebenzi eminingi futhi ezimweni eziningi, imisebenzi ekhokhelwa kangcono, kunokusebenzisa imali leyo empini.
Njengengxenye yokungenela kwezenzo zokuhlukunyezwa, ukwehlukana kwemisebenzi kuveza amathuba amaningi okubandakanya. Okokuqala, njengabantu ngabanye, singakwazi ukuhlola ukuthi siyini i-banking, yiziphi izikhungo esizibambileyo, kanye nezinqubomgomo zokutshala izimali zezinhlangano esiziphakelayo. Kuthuthukiswa nguNjengoba Uhlwanyela kanye noCODEPINK, WeaponFreeFunds.org iyisitatimende sokusesha esilinganisa izinkampani zesikhwama somxhaso ngamaphesenti atshalwe izikhali nokulwa. Kodwa ngaphesheya kwezinga ngalinye, ukwehlukana kwezimali kuveza amathuba okushintshashintsha okuguqukayo, kwizinga lesikhungo noma likahulumeni. Ukusebenzisa amandla ethu ngobuningi, njengabanikazi bamasheya, amabandla, abafundi, abasebenzi, abavoti kanye nabakhokhi bentela, singakwazi ukufaka imikhankaso ezikhungweni ezicindezelayo nezinhlangano zazo zonke izinhlobo, kusukela emasontweni nasemasosikeni, kuya emanyuvesi, izinyunyana, nezibhedlela, komasipala futhi uthi, ukushintsha izinqubomgomo zabo zokutshala izimali. Umphumela wokuhlukana - imali ehambelayo - umgomo ongenakwenzeka oshaya ngqo ngqo esikhungweni sempi, ngokuphazamisa umgomo wayo, nokuwuncisha, kanye nohulumeni kanye nezikhungo ezitshala izimali. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuhlukaniswa kwecala kuhlinzeka thina, njengabavukeli bezempi, ne-agency ukuthi sinqume ukuthi sifuna ukuvuselela kanjani imali ukuze sikhuthaze isiko lekhwalithi esifuna ukuyibona.
Njengoba sibheka emuva izingxenye zempi yempi, singakwazi ukuthwala lo msebenzi kwezinye izingxenye zempilo yethu, ukukhulisa incazelo yokuhlukana kanye nezindlela zokuzikhethela nokwenza ushintsho oluhle. Ngaphandle kokushintsha imikhuba yethu yasebhange, ezinye izinyathelo zokuqala zihlanganisa ukushintsha lapho sithenga khona, lokho esikudlayo, nokuthi siphila kanjani impilo yethu. Ukwenza le ndlela yokuphila yansuku zonke kuyindlela yokwenza izinto ezisebenzayo, nemithelela ekuphenduleleni kumgomo wezinkampani kanye nohulumeni. Ngokushintsha izindlela zethu zokusebenza ezindaweni ezizinzile, ezanele ngokwabo, sihlukanisa nezimboni eziqhamukayo kanye ne-monopolization yezinkampani, futhi sizibophezela eminye imodeli esekelwe emphakathini, ezomnotho wezokubambisana, kanye nokukhiqizwa kwezimpahla zesifundazwe ukunciphisa umthelela wezemvelo nokwandisa inzuzo yendawo. Lezi zinqumo zivumelanisa indlela yokuphila nezimiso zethu ezisekelwe ekusebenziseni kwezombusazwe nezombusazwe. Kubalulekile ukwenza lo msebenzi "wokwakha kabusha okuhle," ngesikhathi esisodwa esikugqugquzela ngokuqinile, ukukhalaza, kanye nomhlangano wokuqeda izithiyo zesakhiwo, izinhlaka zokubusa, nezinqubomgomo ezihlelekile eziqhubekayo empini, ukuqhutshwa kwesimo sezulu, nokungabi nabulungisa.
Impi, kanye nokulungiswa okuqhubekayo kwempi, njengokubanjwa kwezikhali kanye nokwakhiwa kwezisekelo zempi, ukuhlanganisa izigidigidi zamaRandi unyaka ngamunye ongathunyelwa emisebenzini yezenhlalo nezemvelo, njengokunakekelwa kwezempilo, imfundo, amanzi ahlanzekile, ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda, ukuguqulwa nje kwamandla avuselelekayo, ukudala imisebenzi, ukuhlinzekwa kwemali ekhokhelwayo, nokunye okuningi. Futhi ngenkathi umphakathi uhlala usekelwe emnothweni wezempi, ukusetshenziswa kwempi kahulumeni empeleni kukwandisa ukungalingani kwezomnotho, ngokuhlukanisa izimali zomphakathi ezimbonini ezizimele, ukuqhubeka nokugxila kwengcebo ibe inamba encane yezandla. Ngamafuphi, isikhungo sempi yisithintelo kuzo zonke izinguquko ezinhle esifuna ukuzibona kuleli zwe, kanti ngenkathi lihlala, liqinisa ukungabi nabulungisa kwesimo sezulu, ubuhlanga, ezenhlalakahle kanye nezomnotho. Kodwa ukuziqhenya nokuqina kwemishini yempi akufanele kusenze sikwazi ukusilimaza ekwenzeni umsebenzi okumelwe wenziwe. Ngokusebenzisa World BEYOND Warindlela yokuhlelwa kwezinhlelo ezinkulu, ukwakheka kwamabandla, kanye nezinethiwekhi zomhlaba wonke, sihola imikhankaso yokuhlukanisa impi, ukuvala inethiwekhi yezinsizakalo zempi, nokushintshela esimweni esithile esisekelwe ukuthula. Ukuhlakulela isiko lokuthula ngeke kuthathe isinyathelo esingaphansi kwendlela yokwakhiwa kwezinqubomgomo eziphathelene nezinqubomgomo nezinhlelo zikahulumeni, ngokubambisana nokuvuselela kabusha umnotho wendawo, ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa, kanye namakhono okubhekelela ukuzondla komphakathi.
