Mass media, like Yahoo or the New York Times, are making millions of losses, the former is closing down Geocities. Google videos is outsourcing its clients, the Chicago Sun-Times files for bankruptcy. And still they 'inform' us that we are just suffering from a type of 'economic constipation'; soon ... by taking an Eno instead of an Evo ... everything will be fine again. In reality, basic politico-economic knowledge can easily reveal that corporate imperialism suffers from a chronic global over productive diarrhea, very little real capital is being realized; bankruptcy, layoffs, falling of profit rates indicate that we are facing a huge Krakatau of global revolts, oppression, suppression, hunger, famine and misery. As a mode of production overtly and covertly capitalism has converted itself into what it always has been: into a mode of destruction. Currently within months it is destroying nearly half of planetary wealth. Within a few centuries it could destroy what Mother Earth has evolved in six billion years, that is, life on planet earth.
Over the last decade, here in Venezuela, many of us began to understand that natural science and social philosophy, understood as social praxis and theory, can change concretely the world, can enlighten the future, namely, can unveil the New, like April 11, 2002, which never existed before, and which will not repeat itself again. Hence, a revision of our past predictions, errors and victories should always light up our revolutionary fire which shines future, is future.
In this spirit, in retrospect what did we think, what did we do and think, and what still is our quo vadis in the era of the decay of global capitalism?
At this moment millions are jobless, homeless. The international banks, the Detroit Three, GM, Ford and Chrysler, even Toyota, all are in serious economic trouble. Britain now seriously feels the recession, so does Japan. In metropolitan countries millions are entering the queues of joblessness, abject poverty and starvation.
Tremors, earthquakes, droughts, floods, tsunamis, weapons of mass destruction (in a word, HAARP) pave the Via Crucis of Uncle Sam, accompanied by Uncle Tom, towards globalized Golgotha.
Yes, nobody is fine anymore, not Nature, not Society. Millennia of economic exploitation, political domination, social discrimination, genocide and militarism, and a Mental Holocaust, Human Alienation have brought us to this global collapse of Capital and Labor.
Labor Day 2009 will be the dramatic, traumatic 'May Day' of the century, of millions of global workers! Whether we like it or not, objectively, subjectively and 'transjectively' there is only one real and true solution to chronic depression, recession, crack and crash: the total annihilation of capitalism by global class struggle.
C. Nothing is fine anymore!
Let us say it as it is: nothing is fine anymore; if this exploitative insanity should continue for long, then soon on Mother Earth never ever anything would be fine again.
Finally, why all these daily tremors and earthquakes, sudden volcanic eruptions, the unhealthy weather, the droughts, epidemics, headaches, fatigue and strange voices in our skulls?
Do zombies, clones, robots, technology, machines and computers consume, do they produce surplus value, profits and capital? Why do these issues not make world headlines? Of the nearly 200 "United Nations", how many (and who) were listening to the excellent speech of President Evo Morales of Bolivia on Mother Nature the other day? Nonetheless, this will be a topic of our next editorial.
In the meantime, in this epoch of emancipation, of Global Depression: Workers of the world capture this decisive historic fleeting moment of global class struggles!
