Anarchy in the USA

Anarchy in the USA

By: Erreh Svaia

“The roots of the word 'anarchy' are 'an archos,' 'no leaders,' which is not really about the kind of chaos that most people imagine when the word 'anarchy' is mentioned. I think that anarchy is, to the contrary, about taking personal responsibility for yourself.”

Alan Moore

Something is happening within the US; The Occupy movement as a wakeup call denouncing Wall Street excessive control over the government, inequity, the 1%; The Seattle protests against globalization, the horrible school shootings becoming an everyday event; The San Bernardino terrorist attacks and the radicalized American Muslim; Bernie Sanders socialism moving from the USSR to Denmark; the Black Lives Matter and the non-punished crimes against Afro-Americans; The Oregon Militia that exposes citizens fighting the establishment, USA government not caring enough about the expansion of Daesh and their partnership with execution tolerant Saudi Arabia; Donald Trump radical nationalist conservative capitalizing on USA anger, and finally, the new Texas gun law allowing citizens to carry guns visibly...

What else should we expect? You just can't deny that something really wrong is happening in the heart of capitalism; Anarchy in the USA? Yes, it looks like it, one can definitely sense that Donald Trump campaign has radicalized the USA, exacerbating feelings of hate, xenophobia, racism, nationalism, it doesn't take a lot to start thinking that the scenario looks a lot like Germany at the start time of Hitler's rise, Trump is no fool, as he is easily captivating a fury long time lurking within America's white middle class.

Anger towards Wall Street, against illegal immigrants, Islam, establishment, among many other things seem to be the main fuel of Trump's campaign, that sense of desperation the middle class is quickly developing in the middle of its weakening, with a growing low class and a high elitist clasa becoming the only benefited by USA meek economic growth, this is the time to capitalize anger, the same anger of those white youngsters perpetuating shootings in schools like Columbine, the same white anger of people like Timothy McVeigh, that same anger of policemen towards Afro-American youngsters on America's low class streets, to all those, unfortunately, Donald Trump has managed to give a face, the ugly face of an American Dream that has died, the beginning of a country ruled by a elite, with a middle class impoverished by globalization, and a low class composed by Latinos and Afro Americans caught in a cruel drug war in the streets.

What's more important here, and something we should not forget is that sometimes social revolutions are kidnapped by power hungry wolves and used to evil purposes, in this case, middle class white anger could be manipulated by the racist extremist right wing and turn the social protest into pure fascism, this is the time to be alert and to learn that we are all part of the problem, and at the same time, we are all part of the solution, it’s up to us to decide, and to change the world, not to some hater rich business man to tell us that the problems are México, Islam or the rest of the world, judge yourself before others.
