Latin America: Will we go down in atomic radiation without an anti-capitalist fight?

 Venezuela and
the
Globe, will we go down in atomic radiation without putting up a
global anti-capitalist fight?
By Franz J. T. Lee
April 03, 2011
Venezuela, the question is: as a huge oil producing country will we
really go down in atomic radiation disaster without declaring global
war against the current imperialist disasters in Japan and Libya?
As ruling classes, in reality, as a Lilliputian,
infinitesimal, powerful minority, arrogantly they declared themselves
as a herrenvolk, as
a master race, as homo
sapiens sapiens, but they never ever nurtured real human philia (love)
nor did they cultivate sophia
(wisdom) with regard to nature and working slaves. They only
believed in their hen
kai
pan, in their one and all, in themselves as 'chosen' Platonic
philosopher kings; even when they lose popular 'democratic'
presidential elections - like in the cases of Bush I and of Bush II -
they still take it all. They only believed in a systemic panta
rhei, in the eternal dialectical flux of accumulation of
corruption, privileges, wealth, profits and is the father of all
things'
(Heraclitus). Like Napoleon, for them global life is veni, vidi vici',
is:
I
came, I saw, I conquered. They have a ravenous, insatiable hunger
for blood, conquest, war and booty. Currently in North Africa, in
Libya, and in the Middle East, NATO and its Western allies and Arab
puppets verify this quintessential, wolfish trait of this imperialist,
Hobbesian homo
homini lupus, of his bellum omnium contra
omnes, of his imperialist 'war of all against all'.
Those who did not belong to the sonorous species, to Man - among them, wo-men, natives,
pagans,
Blackamoors, Black slaves, Red Indians, Bushmen, 'les miserables'
(Victor Hugo) and 'witches' (later upgraded to 'bitches') were simply burned at the
stale, persecuted, exploited, violated, tortured and quartered. The
'royal' treatment given to non-European 'pack animals' and 'camel
drivers' is practically beyond description.
On this side of the Rubicon, the European rulers, the clergy and
nobility, were trying to erect an earthly 'Civitas Dei' (City of God)
of St.
Augustine. On the other side, in feudal reality, outside divine wishful
thinking, ten thousands were killed in cruel 'peasant wars',
crusades and the 'Thousand Years War'. Violently they were sent
into
the hereafter, into everlasting fire.
Small wonder that the present kith and kin of these Draconian ruling
classes could kill without any respect for life, for nature and
society.
Since millennia, behind all this was (and still is) the brutal
historic process of capital accumulation.
The rulers - nobility,
clergy, feudal lords and upsurging capitalists - became
incorrigible experts in telling lies, in organizing theft and endless
torture, terror and murder. Inter
alia, this whole historic process was euphemistically called
civilization, Western Culture, Christianity, humanity, freedom,
democracy,
peace, revolution and progress. What are the real connotations of the
above terms we could see across the globe, could read in Orwell's novel
"1984". The rest is simply political lip service and diplomatic jargon,
sweet talk of the rulers, their hoaxes and racist, arrogant ideology.
During discovery, conquest and colonialism, that is, during the era of
the transatlantic
slave trade and the establishment of the world market, horrendously, without any
moral feeling or mercy millions and millions of innocent peoples were
sacrificed on the racist altar of the Moloch of capitalism.
Till today, this is the 'vale of tears' for the poor, are the soulless
conditions in a heartless world, in globalization. This is happening
now in Libya and could soon occur here in Latin America, in Venezuela.
Across the past millennia, ever since the introduction of capitalism,
inexorably a mode of anarchic destruction was launched on Mother Earth.
Until now, in latency and tendency, that is, in scientific and
philosophic possibility, this world order, globalization, is hell bent
on destroying the experiment life on Planet Earth. In colonial and
imperialist world wars, millions and millions of rebellious slaves,
peasants,
serfs and workers were simply massacred in the name of business, of
capitalism.
Who really cared about the 'outcasts' of bourgeois society, about the
'white man's burden' (Kipling), who still cares today? Where is
concrete, effective international workers' solidarity?
In reality, all over we see the signs of a coming global apocalypse.
Capitalism is destroying the very substratum of the experiment life on
the blue planet, and therewith the cosmic experiment homo
novum.
What the experimentum
mundi (Ernst Bloch) has created across more than four billion
years, now homo
homini lupus is busy to destroy within the next decades.
In case we have deleted and forgotten some events of contemporary
reality, let us refresh our memory and transilluminate some
issues which reveal a most troublesome global reality for humanity.
* Till 1996, France carried out atomic tests in the vicinity of
the Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls in the South Pacific. Today still the
indigenous
peoples are suffering from intensive radiation. Even the turtles have
lost their sense of direction and are perishing.
* The same is true
elsewhere for bees and birds. Einstein warned that if the former should
happen, then mankind probably could have only a few years more to live.
* According to scientific estimates, over
the past decades the atomic reactor 'accidents' of Chernobyl and Three
Mile Island have already claimed one million victims.
* The Exxon-Valdez
oil disaster near Alaska has already killed nearly all those workers
who
were trying to clean up the corporate mess; it seems that none of them
reached the age of fifty years; the death toll will be much higher for
the 'heroic liquidators' in Japan.
* The current apocalyptic
situation (the oil 'leaks') in the Gulf of Mexico and the Niger Delta
are still spelling doom for the inhabitants of the region. The
corporate giants do
not care a dime what is happening all over with precious human
life.
* Millions of human beings are dying as the results of the experiments
in
the production of biological and chemical arms of mass destruction.
* Also AIDS, bird and
swine flu, after leaving left the military laboratories, especially as
vaccination, are also take their
million death toll across the globe.
* Not only uncountable plants,
insects, fish and birds are perishing, a while ago, a million 'mad
'cows'
were cremated; more recently in South Korea, a million infected pigs
were buried alive.
* Who knows, as a matter of pure speculation, during the Iraq wars, how
many soldiers
probably could have suffered the same fate. After electro-magnetic
treatment, followed by an overdose of Extra Low Frequency (ELF) waves,
some thousands may have been buried alive under the desert sand; in
fifty years, like in the case of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba,
we might get wise.
* ELF-waves, depleted
uranium bullets and white phosphorus bombs complete the initial stage
of capitalist global destruction.
* Those African countries which did not join 'Africom' - Libya,
Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Sudan and Eritrea - are now being violently
integrated into NATO.
The Second Conquest, the Third World War, is even more devastating, it
already is launching the total, totalitarian bodily, mind and thought
holocaust,
the global maafa
(Swahili: apocalyptic disaster).
The earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan is just a premonition, an
ominous warning about far worse things to come, about true, real global
fascism,
called globalization.
What is taking place in Japan now, the same could occur anytime in
France, the USA or
Russia. Hundreds of atomic reactors are ready to give up the ghost. A
tremendous continental or regional black-out could already
spark off a chain reaction of uncontrollable events. With the weapons
of
mass destruction stockpiled all over soon we will be playing
Russian roulette.
Powerful arms like HAARP could reproduce the Japanese maafa anywhere,
could cut the USA into half, in fact, could split the planet itself,
and could even rip
it out of its orbit.
What is happening in Japan now is not comparable to more recent events,
perhaps in its possible human toll partially to the Transatlantic slave
trade and the Conquest. In all probability there is no Japanese on the
islands who are not affected radically by the atomic radiation, if not
yet affected, then very soon in the following months everybody will
have a huge problem. The real dimension of this disaster, which is
really beginning now, we will only know in the next decades. This time
not only Chernobyl or Japan are threatened, all human life is in danger
of extinction.
Not even at this dimension of danger seven billion 'condemned of the
earth´are taking up arms against a sea, a tsunami of troubles.
Venezuela and Elsewhere, Will we go down in history, in the solar
system, without a global anti-capitalist fight?
What
is
to be thought, done and transcended?
As we stated in so many writings already, the very simple answer to
this multiple question is: To get rid of world capitalism in all its
manifold dimensions, in all walks of life, of nature and society! Who
has not tried to do this since birth already has a serious mental and
physical problem, but it is not too late to mend. This is how
capitalism surpassed all obsolete modes of production, and how it also
became obsolete and merits to pass away. Dialectically, like any
historic process capitalism affirms and negates itself ,as 'A' and
'Non-A'. It makes no sense only to attack the affirmation (A) of
capitalism, to be truly anti-capitalist, radically we have to get rid
of 'Non-A' too, have to transcend the whole capitalist global order,
towards cosmic, creative emancipation, towards homo
novum, the New Man.
