Capitalism does not value human beings; it puts a price on them.
\nAnd that price is often lower than a barrel of oil.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump comes up with a new definition of \u201cmorality\u201d in the middle of a war:<\/p>\n
\u201cLet's leave energy infrastructures untouched.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is the crystal clear summary of the imperialist mind.
\nHuman life is negotiable, but oil wells are untouchable.<\/p>\n
Cities can be leveled.
\nChildren could be trapped under the rubble.
\nHospitals can be hit.<\/p>\n
But a gas field?
\nA pipeline?
\nA refinery?
\nNo...<\/p>\n
They are the heart of the system.
\nThey are the true owners of \u201ccivilization\u201d.<\/p>\n
What happens if South Pars Gas Field is hit?
\nLife was disrupted in Iran...
\nBills would go up in Europe...
\nIn India, cheap labor is expensive...<\/p>\n
Do you see it?
\nIn a single sentence, the whole meaning of man is solved:
\nMan is a link in the chain of production.
\nIf it is cheap, it is valuable, or it is nothing.<\/p>\n
For capitalism, even death is an economic variable.
\nA city burns: tragedy.
\nAn oil well burns: crisis.<\/p>\n
That is the difference.<\/p>\n
The war of this order is not just for the land; it is for the flow.<\/p>\n
For the uninterrupted circulation of capital...
\nSo that there is no blockage in the arteries of energy, money and exploitation...<\/p>\n
The message from Trump's side is clear:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can tear it down... but don't disrupt the system.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because for imperialism the hierarchy of values is clear:
\nFirst oil, then the market, then people.<\/p>\n
The tracks of tanks can run over children,
\nbut not over a pipeline.
\nBecause that line is the holy book of this age;
\nand it's not just gas that's flowing through it,
\nis the rotten conscience of humanity.<\/p>\n
And we are still asking:
\nWhy are these wars happening?<\/p>\n
The answer is simple:
\nNot for man.
\nIn spite of the human being.<\/p>\n
Because in this system, the value of the human being is measured by its positive impact on the market.
\nThe dead and the living are measured by this yardstick.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
