Three America's
Source: Humiliate America
The word America is a very inclusive word having several meanings. Many
entities carry America or American as a prefix or a suffix. America is
a continent, a country, people, state and what not. It is very simple
to paint America in black and white but it needs critical thinking to
see all the shades.
We take a holistic view of America, and see America as three-in-one
entity. All the three have sub-culture, social base, power elite, icons
and symbols of their own. One America is represented by Bush, the other
by Noam Chomsky and the third belongs to the people who are suffering
from crisis of representation and there are thousands who speak on
their behalf but their voice is muzzled.
Bush's America
This is the America which means business. This is the America which
thinks business. This is the America which understands that there is no
good and bad in business. Except the profits are good and losses bad.
This is the America which becomes Christian to take foolish Christians
for a ride. This is the America which threw Iftar party for Muslims
soon after Sept 11 attack and at the same time killed Afghans on
massive scale with indiscriminate use of force. This America is a
business enterprise (and is in bad shape presently ). Sociologically,
this America can be called informal America Here we will call this
Bush's America. We are not demonizing Bush, he is merely a jockey of
American capitalism( while common Americans are the horses). Bush
represents all the decadence and rottenness of American society and
American state.
Bush's America is autocratic, absolutist, retrogressive, reactionary,
uncivilized, arrogant, barbaric and decadent. It threaten its own
people (American civil society), its own clients (like Saddam who have
contributed to the R&D of the weapon systems as customers) and its
operatives (like Osama). It is confronting its own allies in Europe and
Arab world. It is barbaric it destroys cities which it cannot build, it
fights wars whose bill has to be paid by the conquered and destroyes
civilians infrastructure of developing countries to get business
contracts for its construction companies. Bush's America is decadent
and rotten to its core.
Bush's America is in trouble. After Soviet power block it is now
American block which is crumbling. European Union challenges American
world hegemony. White domination over American state apparatus is being
challenged by non Whites of Asian and African origin. American women is
shredding male domination in every field which is not liked by American
Talibans who are becoming more and more active and want to stop Asians
and African Blacks to "occupy" America. Terrorist attack on Sept 11 was
celebrated by them as they sought this opportunity to target and wipe
out immigrants in America. American media hegemony is challenged by
channels like Aljazeera run by non-white Arabs.
America is under siege within and threatened from outside by his own
(former) allies and by his own "clients" like Osama bin laden and war
lords like Saddam Hussein. Desperate and frustrated elements in Bush
administration try to stop disintegration of American block and
crumbling down of American empire. They might go to the extent of
replacing constitution of America(the only sacred book Americans have)
with the Bible and declare America to be Kingdom of white God..
.In fragmented American society, there are enclaves of all communities
(even those who are at war with democratically elected governments of
their origin of birth enjoy this freedom) and they enjoy exclusivity.
The Bush's "war on terrorism" is not merely "war for oil" and
occupation of 3rd world countries, but also encircling and containment
of aspiring rival world powers . At home it is "war on democracy" and
“war on Asian and African immigrants” to prevent criticism for Bush’s
failures by curtailing civil liberates and diluting the spirit of
American constitution.
Bush's America is nervous, insecure, frustrated, and engulfed by one
crisis after the other. Bush represents decadence of economy, American
values of freedom, human relation crisis in American society, crisis of
representation in American politics, American values of democracy and
composite culture of America and crisis in international relations.
Bush's American is in pathetic shape: the fall in industrial
production, consumer spending, and instability of stock market,
cooperate bankruptcies, recession, unemployment, wage curtailment,
lowering down of living standards. Self elected president of America
thinks that he is free as a nation to do what ever he can do at
international level and its freedom is absolute. This craving for
unlimited and absolute power might lead to American fascism.
Bush behaves as if he is God the same way as Mullah omer of Afghanistan
had the delusion. White racists, Christian right, Chauvinist
nationalists, and capitalists, Jihad Jews dominate Bush's America..
Bush’s America is culturally underdeveloped and alienated America.
While it has developed hi-technology and massive macro social
structures, culturally and socially most of the Americans are no
different from an ordinary Afghan .tribal's. Under the influence of
billion dollar consent engineering industry most of American people do
not know who is their foe and who is their friend, they behave like
sheep. The political elite is no good than former Afghan chief Mullah
Omer.
The organized crime, drug trafficking, religious fundamentalism, racial
tension due to domination of "whites" over American state apparatus,
subjugation of women and flush trade, narrowing down of separation
between religion and state, unilateral control over civil society and
denial of media access to critics of Bush's policies reveals that
american have ceased to be free people and have been enslaved by
cooperate giants.
Bush's America is biggest merchant of death and destruction and selling
of weapons of mass destruction is its business, bread earner of some of
the richest Americans, as the profit in this sector is 500%.
It is likely that Bush's America might get dismembered in its drive to
subjugate whole of humanity with hi-tech toys foolish Americans are
proud of. Those who have moral courage cannot be defeated by military
hardware. Americans might have seen how a pro democracy protester at
Tinanmen Square in China challenged a battle tank with courage and
conviction. The freedom loving people will not tolerate this American
hegemony any more.
Once the people of America and Britain disown Bush & Co. Bush will
hide himself in a gutter as there are no caves in America). Bush, Blair
and Aaron Sharon will be sent to gallows for crimes against humanity
Chamosky's America
This is actually formal America led by liberal and democratic elite and one of its leading advocates is Noam Chomsky.
This is institutional and constitutional America as manifested in its law formally. It has very limited social base.
This America is relevant for developing countries aspiring to establish
a capitalist system in their countries. No one will have any problem in
getting Americanized by Chmosky's America.
Chomskys America is democratic, non-hegmonistic, forward looking,
pluralistic, and multi-cultural. This America talks of rule of law,
respect for international law, autonomy of individual and for social
and cultural groups, and relative autonomy of civil society from state.
But Chomsky's America is neither taken seriously by its friends nor by
its adversaries like Bush. The Chamosky's America has been silenced,
ostracized, isolated, alienated by Jihad Christians and National
chauvinists and has been denied media access by mainstream American
media.
As imperialism is not a policy of a capitalist state but it is
structural necessity of capitalist social relations. Imperialism is
capitalist social relations manifested in international relations. This
America is not really relevant particularly in its decadent phase.
Capitalist world order has become incapable of growth and development.
We have learnt from "war on terrorism" that the capitalism can only
destroy and all of its promises of reconstruction are false Afghanistan
is recent example of this.
The Folk America
This is the people's America. The people like you and me. Good as well
as bad. The American people have been divided vertically and
horizontally. They are being counted as Muslims, Jews and Christians
(even if they might be atheists) and categorized as whites and blacks
according to their phenotypes through discriminatory state policies.
They actually pay the price of war. They pay for American army engaged
in killing the Asians people. Like the people of Iraq are going to pay
the price of war for their liberation and maintaining the presence of
military on their soil.
It is the people of America who get killed when they become victims of
terrorism (again fueled and funded by their are own government). Their
children get killed in war of occupations. Their civil liberties are
being suspended and spendings in social sector curtailed. It is
shocking to see common Americans having been enslaved by repressive
American State. They are no longer free people.
American people should oppose their government by starting civil
disobedience and non-cooperation and we in Asia should befriend
militant elements in American society and support them. If any of them
seeks shelter from American state repression, we should come forward
and protect his/her lives.
The cobra of capitalist social relation is around our neck and we
cannot remove this unless we stop offering it milk (our services and
taxes). Our war against Bush's America cannot succeed unless we win
over hearts and mind of our friends in America.
We should do nothing to harm common Americans. Those who think in these
terms should open their eyes see Americans anger against occupation
during anti-war protests against war the people of Iraq.
We are not opposed to attacking American military targets, they are
plenty through out globe. We are against any attack on American civil
society, against attacking those Americans who faced bullets and police
repression to express their solidarity with the people of Iraq.
The people of the countries where there are American bases have a right
to attack American military targets if they think Americans are staying
there against their will and consent.
Our war against American terrorism is not a nationalistic war and those
who opposed American occupation of Iraq also were not nationalists. We
believe in oneness of humanity and reject nationalism as religions of
dogs. (The nationalists of all hues are worst than dogs. The dogs are
great patriots in animal kingdom; they mark their territory with urine
while as our nationalists draw the lines of their border with blood. )
We are globalists. |
