Soliloquys

I was listening to a podcast in which the presenter was discussing terrorism, economic terrorism and how access to healthcare is a tool weaponised by capitalism to enslave the masses.

The backdrop of the conversation was the USA’s healthcare system.
In which, you have to work to qualify for healthcare:
Those who do not labour do not eat, those who cannot afford to eat sleep on the streets, those who sleep on the streets end up in a coroner’s vehicle wrapped in sheets.

But I digress. The point being made was that economic terrorism was not just a domestic problem in the US, but a foreign policy one as well that negatively impacts the Global South.

American conglomerates actively exploit, extract and pollute the Global South, all to fuel the greed of the CEOs, owners, politicians and those who wield power.
This exploitation and absence of appropriate compensation condemns the laborers in the Global South to a life of poverty, hunger and death.

The question then becomes, in which can the oppressed resist?
Looking at the examples of the options available to them one will find that any resistance will be met with violence.
Violence cannot only be physical in nature, but also economic.
A worker unionizing and being fired is violence. Protests being stopped is violence. Being jobless and not having access to healthcare, housing and food because of that is violence.

The oligarchy would have us all living either in fear of violence or under a constant state of violence.
Living one cheque away from poverty is in itself violence. This fear, is what is used to control the masses.
