Kathy Kelly: « We must work to abolish war »
Kathy Kelly. DR.
Mohsen Abdelmoumen: In your experience as an activist, what is the most effective way to fight the imperialist wars in the US?
Kathy Kelly: In the buildup to the 2003 U.S. Shock and Awe bombing of Iraq, the world came closer than ever before to stopping a war before it started. A growing level of education, outreach, civil disobedience, and massive street demonstrations developed at the same time that UN weapons inspectors were very close to issuing a conclusive report about whether or not Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. The U.K. government told the U.S. government it would be extremely difficult to ally with the U.S. in attacking Iraq following a UN report which was expected to certify that Iraq didn’t have weapons of mass destruction.

Mohsen Abdelmoumen: Is the capitalist system compatible with life?
Norman Pollack: I think not, not as a reflex-action, but because the commodity structure, which is the salience of capitalism, is the source of alienation. Human beings are reduced to commodities, valued—if at all—for their exchange value. The characteristic impulse or query under capitalism is, what’s in it for me? There is no intrinsic respect for others; in fact others become no more than means to the satisfaction of one’s own ends. The classic statement of this analysis is Marx’s Economic-Philosophical Manuscript of 1844, and an excellent statement built on that is Fritz Pappenheim, The Alienation of Modern Man. Lire la suite »

Mohsen Abdelmoumen : Le système capitaliste est-il compatible avec la vie ?
Norman Pollack : Je ne pense pas, non pas comme action-réflexe, mais parce que la structure des marchandises, qui est la prépondérance du capitalisme, est la source d’aliénation. Les êtres humains sont réduits à des marchandises, évalués le cas échéant pour leur valeur d’échange. L’impulsion caractéristique ou la question sous le capitalisme est : Que pourrais-je en tirer ? Il n’y a aucun respect intrinsèque des autres. En fait, les autres ne deviennent rien de plus que des moyens pour la satisfaction de ses propres intérêts. L’énoncé classique de cette analyse est le Manuscrit Économique et Philosophique de Marx de 1844, dont a tiré parti Fritz Pappenheim dans un texte excellent : L’aliénation de l’Homme Moderne.
