November 1989 wakanga uri mwedzi unokosha. Chidzitiro chesimbi pamwoyo weBerlin icho chaimboparadzanisa maKomonisiti Mabvazuva kubva kuMadokero yeCapitalist chakaputswa, zvichipedza kurwisana kunosvika hafu yezana ramakore pakati pemasimba makuru maviri achikwikwidza kutonga zviwanikwa, pesvedzero yehupfumi, uye nyukireya yepamusoro. Kune vakangwara vekuMadokero, kudonha kwemadziro eBerlin kwairatidza kukunda kwemahara-musika capitalism, iyo inonzi "kuguma kwenhoroondo," denouement yehondo yenguva refu pakati pechiedza nerima, nevakomana vakanaka vachisimuka vakundi.

Asi nepo kuguma kweHollywood kwenhoroondo kwaitungamirwa, vakakuvadzwa muzviitiko zvakadzimwa zvekupindira kwenyika yechitatu vakaramba vachitambura murima.

Mwedzi uno unoratidza kusvitsa makore makumi maviri echimwe chiitiko, chisingagari mumapeji emabhuku edu enhoroondo asi mumwoyo nepfungwa dzechaunga cheLatin America, avo vasina kuwana ropafadzo yekushongedza jasi rerunako rekukunda kwekuMadokero. kuhwanda kubva kuhutsinye nehuipi hwave huchitonga dunhu iri kwemazana emakore.

Pana November 16, 1989, vhiki imwe chete pashure pokunge nhau yaguma muBerlin, chokwadi chakaitikazve muEl Salvador. Vafundisi vatanhatu vanotungamirira veJesuit nenyanzvi, muchengeti wemba yavo, nemwanasikana wake vakaurayiwa zvine utsinye usiku nemauto aiwana mari yeU.S. Hutsinye hwacho hwakanga husiri hwekukanganisa, asi hwakajairika. Sokushuma kwakaita boka rekodzero dzevanhu rinonzi Americas Watch, kupondwa kwevaprista vechiJesuit muna 1989, pamwe chete nokupondwa kwaBhishopi Mukuru Romero muna 1980, “kunoronga makore gumi ane ngwavaira nechisimba munhau yeSalvador. Idi rekuti mhondi dzevaJesuit dzakaitwa nevakuru nemauto kubva kuvakuru veAtlacatl Battalion, vakagadzirwa, vakadzidziswa, uye vakapakata zvombo neUnited States, zvinojekesa kuti rubatsiro rweUS harisi kutenga dziviriro yekodzero dzevanhu veEl Salvador.

Zviitiko izvi hazvienderane nerondedzero yechinyakare yesimba reAmerica seyakasarudzika, ichitungamirwa nepamusoro pezvinangwa uye nevavariro dzakanaka kwazvo, uye masangano anozvikudza akazvipira kupararira kwedemocracy nerusununguko. Pakati pemisoro yenhau dzemakambani uye varaidzo yakashambadzirwa, idzi pfungwa dzakagadzikana dzinoiswa mukati uye dzinogovaniswazve kuti dzishandiswe nemukurumbira. Kuzvida uye kupararira kwezvinangwa zvedemocracy kunobva kwaita kushoma pane chinhu chekutengesa: zvinofungidzirwa asi zvisingazadzike, zvine kodzero yepamutemo asi zvisingaitwe - zvakarongedzerwa uye zvinotengeswa kuboka rakavhiringidzika revatengi.

Maartist anofanirwawo kutora chikamu mune izvi kutengeserana? Hatingakwanise here kushandisa pfungwa dzedu dzakakosha kuti tione kuburikidza nekushoropodza kwedemocracy iyi yakavharwa, rudzi rumwe chete rwakaona basa mukuuraya vapikisi veSalvador, iyo nhasi inotaura nezvebasa redu rakanaka kuMiddle East uko vanopfuura miriyoni veIraqi vakaparara, vasungwa vanobva kumativi ose enyika vanoramba vachitambudzwa muBagram, uye mabhomba machena ephosphorous anogadzirwa muArkansas anonaya pavana veGaza? Rusununguko rwedu rusingaenzaniswi harupi rezinesi rekusava nehanya kwezvematongerwo enyika uye kusaita, asi kubatanidzwa kwakanyanya nemasangano anoona "kuzvidzivirira" mukuora uku. 

Pano basa remuimbi rakakosha: chero chiitiko kana kuita kwehunyanzvi kwatinotora chikamu hakuna kwazvakarerekera, asi zvakanyorwa museti isingabvumwirwe yekunzwisisa kwakadzorwa. Pakati peizvi pane chitendero cheneo-liberal individualism-kuti tinokurudzira kushivirira netsika dzakasiyana-siyana kana tichiramba kupikisa hutungamiri hwepasi rose muchinangwa chayo chekufa nenzara, kudzipa, nekuuraya. Chero bedzi isu tichisiya kambasi yedu yehutsika mumaoko evarongi vezvehupfumi uye mauto ehondo, takasununguka kuongorora nezve "kupfuura" kwehunyanzvi, kutamba uye kuimba sekunge nyika yakafukidzwa nemaruva uye kwete ropa.

Kubudirira kwedu pakuva maartist sevagari vakabatikana zvizere — vasinganyengetedzwe nyore nyore nemibairo inokwezva yekutevedzera uye kuteerera uye kusagutsikana nezvakanaka zvehunhu husina hanya uye kusava nehanya kwezvematongerwo enyika — kuchayerwa nekuzvidira kwedu kubatana mukubatana nevakawirwa pasi. , vachirwisana nehurongwa hune simba hunovatorera hupenyu hwakanaka, uye nekusika kwedu mukutsvaga nzira dzekuita kuti unyanzvi hwedu huve chiratidzo chekurwisana uku. Mumashoko emunyori Arundhati Roy:

“Vapendi, vanyori, vaimbi, vatambi, vatambi, vagadziri vemafirimu, vaimbi vanofanira kubhururuka, kusunda kumiganhu, kunetseka nepfungwa dzevanhu, kukwezva runako kubva pazvinhu zvisingatarisirwi, kutsvaga mashiripiti munzvimbo dzine vamwe. handina kumbofunga kutarisa. Kana ukaganhurira gwara rokutiza kwavo, kana ukayera mapapiro avo nepfungwa dziripo dzenzanga dzetsika nebasa, kana ukavatsigira netsika dzavanofungidzira, unopidigura nhamburiko yavo.”
