Global Chaos

By Néstor Núñez

In the important book “One Hundred Hours with Fidel”, by French analyst Ignacio Ramonet, the leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro reiterated that the issue touched in his recent reflections have come out to the public once again: the world is on the verge of a abyss and the
people must be aware that if this continues it will lead to an absolute disaster.

However, even people that do not deny the cruel reality, attempt to divert the issues and leave out those that are truly responsible of what is going on in today´s world.

 
In this sense it is not strange to listen to criteria that humanity´s advancement makes the destruction of nature inevitable, or others that refer that man has a destructive germ without leaving to one side versions of the “divine punishment” or “fatalism” genes, geographic or of another origin.

 

However, the response is not so complicated or searched for. Just look at history and you can perceive the uncontrolled urge for power, profit and domination of certain societies that have involved the irrationality of destruction with the objective of satisfying its crazy appetite.

 
It is undeniable that the uncontrolled exploitation of resources for personal reasons and the creation of images of strength that persists despite knowing that there is a limit in the environment.

 
Nature took 300 million years to create oil reserves and in a little over a century developed capitalist societies have taken them to the limit.


The same is happening with drinking water to the point in which people are already talking about future wars to conquer rivers, lake and wells across the planet. A similar situation is happening already with the armed imperial persecution of oil in geographic regions where there is still an important quantity of hydro carbons.
 

Over 6.5 billion people inhabit the world today which, since the 1970’s has lost the capacity of self regenerating the environment due to the large amount of accumulated contamination.

 
Each year, 100 million people are born on earth. What will be offered to them but a future of chaos under a global system that lacks reason, solidarity and true equity?

 

Humanity was and is also those that in Pre Colombian America and other parts of the Third World created and came from important civilizations capable of assuming the special energy in living in harmony with nature and all other living beings.
