Globalization Through Military Means

The
Judeo-Christian West is supposedly the “natural” realm of democracy and
freedom, the Islamo-Arabic East sectarian, feudal, and “naturally” backward,
incapable of democracy and bound to dictatorship. These violent dualistic myths
of Occidental imperialism justify the use of military means by the government
of the United States’
and its allies to serve their corporate capital interests. Occupation is the
highest form of dictatorship as it subdues by means of direct war. The rights
of self-determination, territory, survival and resistance are presumably what
separate us from animals, culture from nature. The forced implementation of a war
“culture” in Iraq
does not restore individual dignity but degrades the human being. Resistance is
a method of survival par excellence. Resistance restores human dignity.
