The barbarism of consumption based on the death of others leads to an unprecedented rise of fascism, and thus to the death of democracy and freedom. It is barbarism, or global 1933, as I call it. 1933 was the year when Hitler came to power.
What we see in Palestine will also be the sufferings in the world of all the peoples of the south.
The West defends its excessive consumption and its standard of living based on destroying the atmosphere and the climate, and to defend it, knowing that it will provoke the exodus of the south to the north, and not only of the Palestinian people; it is ready to respond with death.
It does not want to transform its economic system, but only as far as the market will go to decarbonise it. And it knows that the effort will be miniscule to save life on the planet. Its policy seeks to defend the consumption bubble of the planet's rich and not to save humanity, whose majorities are disposable, like the children of Gaza.
That is why the strong anti-immigration policies, the concentration camps for immigrants, the thousands of dead shipwrecks, that explains the Darien blockade, that is why the economic blockades of rebellious countries.
The right wing of the West sees the solution to the climate crisis as a "final solution", the right wing dreams again of Hitler and conquers the majority of the rich and Aryan peoples of the West and our Latin American oligarchies, who see no other world to live in than the "malls" of Florida or Madrid.
The right-wingers in the south use violence, they break democracy, they feel, because of the north, legitimised to do so. They believe they can kill and commit genocide, they only need the blessing of world power.
We are heading for barbarism if we do not change power. The life of humanity, and especially of the people of the South, depends on how humanity chooses the way to overcome the climate crisis produced by the wealth of the North. Gaza is just the first experiment to consider us all disposable.
