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:
