If We Are to Kill Capitalism Before It Kills Us, We Must Unite in Revolutionary Solidarity. But How Do We Transcend the Fragmentation by Which the Capitalists Keep Us Divided?

GENOCIDE IS GENOCIDE however it is inflicted. Dead is dead whether we are killed in wars of extermination, as were the First Nations peoples; or slain in death camps, as were the peoples targeted by the German Nazis and their allies; or murdered by the infinitely more devious methods the Capitalists and their professional and managerial vassals have devised since World War II.

Today genocide is accomplished not as it was at Wounded Knee by the United States Government or at Auschwitz by the German Third Reich. Such brazen tactics cannot easily be disguised by euphemisms and are therefore no longer fashionable. Instead, Capitalism's engineers of mass murder now kill us by methods they have cleverly designed to absolve themselves by shifting all blame onto the dead and onto those of us who will soon be similarly slain. This is the obvious rationale behind the deadly denial of healthcare, which already murders at least 50,000  USian women, children and men every year and will murder millions more in the near future. It is obviously the motive for the deadly militarization of local police, who have killed 681 women, children and men thus far this year. And it unquestionably explains the deadly environmental poisoning of local, typically lower-income and/or minority neighborhoods, the death toll from which is one of Capitalism's most closely held secrets. But its magnitude of slaughter is exemplified by the 25,000 women, children and men murdered by USian corporate moral imbecility  at Bhopal in 1984.

In all such circumstances, the Capitalists respond by blaming the victims: “you should have bought better health insurance”; “you should have submitted to the police”; “you should have moved to a better neighborhood.” And in the USian Homeland – where the Trump-Pence victory demonstrates the long-term consequences of methodical conditioning in a toxic ethos that combines Ayn Rand selfishness with Prosperity Gospel hatefulness – Capitalism's malicious retorts are accepted as absolute truth. The result is a climate in which genocide is perfectly acceptable, much as it was in Germany after the Nazis and their fascist allies (including Henry Ford himself) embraced the pre-Holocaust slanders propagated by The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. 

With these facts as preface – bearing in mind genocide is genocide however it is accomplished; that dead is dead whether we are slain by by cop bullets or murdered by denial of healthcare or killed by environmental poisoning; and that the Capitalists and their managerial and professional vassals are now openly targeting any of us they deem no longer exploitable for profit – let us look at the relevant news:
