Four times reflections in quarantine. The conspiracy
Mariano Rosa
The volume of information circulating is a challenge. The burden of premeditated confusion has a purpose: diluting responsibilities in the global crisis exacerbated by the pandemic of the COVID-19. This article aims to contribute to question the common sense that build the rulers in the world.
Between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries there were several waves of "Black Death". a Europe, Asia and Africa killed millions. The boats were forced to do during quarantine at ports to prevent pests spreading to coastal cities. Now, flights from Italy to Spain or to the United States are banned from Europe. Black or bubonic plague emerged in the Gobi Desert, toward 1320, It spreads in a few years to China, Burma, Russia and India and entered Europe through the trade routes of Venetian and Genoese in the Mediterranean. Economic and social consequences were enormous: Paralyzation of agriculture and trade, inflation, economic and political concentration on the bourgeoisie jump up and expropriation poor peasants and artisans.
The low level of infrastructure development in the field cloacal, the failure to regulate the slaughter of live animals in open markets, treatment no trash, it is included, the existence of burial in churches for conurbations, combined mind-, multiplied pandemic. And of course: the precarious level of medical and pharmacological science applied. Is worth to say: these pandemics were a high social price, classist also, the company paid the sub-development of the productive forces on a general scale. Nevertheless, the consequences served to the epoch of capitalist rise of late nineteenth century the measures will be developed public health, urban planning and social hygiene increased life expectancy.
the conspirators
Advanced medical science in the twentieth century as never before in the history of human civilization. Nevertheless, the privatization of these collective achievements of mankind (scientific advances), It is giving incredible results, barbarity like the Middle Ages, but blocked by the capitalists solutions of the pharmaceutical industry and their political representatives in the governments of the major countries of the world. We want to tell two stories to illustrate what we say:
Bruno Canard holds a PhD in Microbiology and Biochemistry at the University of Paris. I study in 2002-2003 SARS virus and found connections COVID-19. I had to interrupt the progress of their investigation and dismantle its equipment, because in 2009 They will cut the budget as part of austerity measures to save banks.
Peter Hotez is also a scientist. It is the co-director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children's Hospital and dean of the School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor University, in Houston(Texas), institutions seeking vaccines that are not profitable for Big Pharma US. In 2016, with his team obtained the first successful results in animal tests experiencing a vaccine COVID-19. Requested funds to start a clinical trial with humans, but nobody wanted to help and test tubes possible vaccine were stored in a freezer, where they remained for years. They entered the second trimming Obama.
In both cases, budget cuts had two reasons: the first, reallocate funds to the bailout of banks or election campaigns; the second, a very strong pressure from pharmaceutical laboratories and to block any independent investigation or not to support unprofitable market of "diseases". Before the emergence of the virus, when necessary to prevent, States and companies, They desfinanciaron research. Now, with the spread, first to patent dispute reach a vaccine. To hide this information, there lobbys, and no international cooperation in favor of society that suffers. Send the market, profitability, private competition. That is to say: conspiracy exists, and capitalist profit is called the health of most people.
Fear prepares to accept all
As wars, diseases that scale as COVID-19, They are used by the power shift. It is the political use of fear, of panic, social psychosis that promotes and multiplies faster than any virus. And diffusing false beliefs to build a common sense, a social imaginary that immobilizes, disperse, dilutes responsibilities:
The false ideology of the "black swan": the idea that the capitalist economy was in excellent health, and suddenly, bat soup spread a virus that disrupted the positive dynamics. False all falsehood. All reports of the IMF, the World Bank and JP Morgan as consultants, They anticipated for the cycle 2020-21 "deceleration". It was not all good and "things happened". He came in decline, and COVID-19 exacerbates the trend.
The trap of the "take care of yourself is taking care»: the dominant emphasis on individual responsibility against the crisis, to dilute the absence of emergency measures which necessarily involve socializing the privatized resources 1 % of the society.
Prohibitionism and social informer: is logical that precautions, but cut freedoms, demobilize, encourage 'complaint' neighbor and not to modify the labor of millions to avoid prejudicing the bourgeois gain, plus a hypocrisy, is exclusively block the action sense autoorgani-Zada population. This alert.
Our answer
Identify the causes of the current situation, including pandemic, and resources that appeals to capitalist power, It has a revolutionary purpose: structuring an alternative exit, with an opposite class content. Must be put in "quarantine" capitalists health: the entire health infrastructure, Pharmacological and laboratories, provision of a centralized plan social emergency.
We must protect the work of the working class, not subsidize the capital gain patterns: prohibit layoffs, suspensions and secure licenses to all revenue. You have to invest in equipment for early detection: production and purchase massive public hygiene kits, relief and early detection test. Incorporate personnel in hospitals and Malbrán for analysis of testings.
Shock protection precarizadxs lxs: Emergency income equivalent to three minimum wages; exemption from payment of rents and services basic. Expropriate the remarcadores and speculators: the maximum consumer items and free distribution of everything you need for individual health care prices.
Special health budget without limits, it takes the: repudiating the debt and put a special tax on banks and corporations, It is critical at this juncture. logically, These and other social and political emergency measures have content that goes beyond the limits of traditional politics, This caste system and capitalism as a system. Must be done, self-defense is most.
