The thinking species has so much power to create and destroy that is the only
one to commit suicide, to end life and destroy the planet. His intelligence is
so high that he created war; he manufactured bombs that can destroy the planet
several times, he created a flying unmanned aircraft, nuclear submarines, and a
long and impressive etcetera. But the height of human distortion is the worship
of Mammon, money, capital, wealth. Let's see.
We are used to have a
relationship of accumulation of material things, who has the most is powerful, we summarize material goods into money, who has more money, who is able to
get things and possess more, will be the most powerful of all. This division
between holders and dispossessed seems natural. We think this is normal and we
will always think so for the rest of times.
Accumulation is
possible because the means of production -at some point- became non-social
property, and means of exploitation; there is where
man appropriates the work of other men. Who stole the land, the factory, could put
conditions to the dispossessed; necessity forced them to work for the owner of
the means of production.
We live in a world, in
which it is possible for men to steal other men’s work, and the product of this
massive theft becomes in merchandise, and this
merchandise turns into money within the market, which is accumulated labor.
This relationship between men has consequences.
This creates a
spirituality that justifies, reproduces and perpetuates that relationship that
makes possible the massive theft of labor. The essence of this spirituality is selfishness and competition. We all transform
into merchandise, worshipers of Mammon, of capital, it governs life, humanity, and
everything turns around profit, around accumulation. What benefits capital, to
Mammon, is good, and what hurts it, is bad. Man switches his place with money,
now he is just a slave of an evil religion that some people call capitalism.
This perverse idolatry, capitalism,
has transformed us into a non-society, into a combination of selfishness,
it has transformed us into selfish islands, and we are like puppets moved by the
strings of consumption and production. The eager for profit, transformed into
collective madness, leads us towards unhappiness. We suffer from a disease
called capitalism, which alter our natural needs and override our limits of
satiety. So, we live the restlessness of discontent,
we are "always dissatisfied".
It is necessary to
defeat fetishism, the religion of capital, founding the love for humanity, and
urgently, it is necessary to establish a new way of relating with each others, rescuing
relationships. This is only possible within Socialism,
a society where the human is the center, and nature regains its status as
sanctuary of life, and everyone lives according to their capacity and receives
according to his needs, where nobody accumulates material things and every one
lives for the good of all.
Chavez is Socialism!
