• For
several weeks now, humanity has been facing an expanding and rapidly spreading
epidemic (pandemic), that of coronavirus.
The spread
and danger of this pandemic (with many issues still ongoing and the controversy
among the world's major centers of power) absolutely blames the world
capitalist-imperialist system, especially regarding its course in recent
decades. It reveals all the dominant effort to destigmatize capitalism, its
laws and contradictions, which seeks to load its own responsibility for
exposing humanity to a great health risk to the peoples themselves, who are
supposedly dirty, careless, and irresponsible. It has been shown that the
racial-racist attempt to separate societies into resilient and not resilient,
developed and non-developed, and affected differently by viruses, was
short-lived.
As we have
pointed out, the coronavirus in particular does not do as many "distinctions"
as those before it appeared to do, that the so-called "developed"
world considered to be confined to the underdeveloped, poor and impoverished
regions of the world. (the well-known discrimination between the diseases of "civilization",
and the others). We understand, therefore, from this point of view also, that
the progress of the epidemic has caused such a shock in the metropolises and
other capitalist countries in the West, East, North and South.
So, we must
place the great political and social cost of the global capitalist system in
this context, because it left "defenseless" and
"unfortified" even parts of the planet that were "famous"
for health systems, for social and health protection, for hygiene conditions.
