to remember right discussion of N Gugi wa Thiango in his novel on “ Devil on the cross ” about the meeting of labours , bandits , Burglars , plunderers arranged in a cave to discuss about the ways and means to intensify and to continue the exploitation . This Forum warns us that if it becomes impossible to exploit and loot on the name of commercialization , then it will lead to occurrence of “ WARS ”. It means that favourable environment should be created for the corporate / Business forces to raise their affluence by increasing labour exploitation . For work force , there is no any alternative except to live in miserable conditions . Moreover , the exploitation of corporate forces resulted in the environmental degradation and pollution which further increases the crisis of oppressed . This issue will not be discussed at all by the Forum rather gives slogan to “ preserve oceans ”. Who are destroying / spoiling oceans ? For whose benefit the powerful corporate forces , Imperialist governments and international organisations always organise World Conferences to preserve and protect the environment . In fact they are the cause for environmental degradation . What about the recent incident of Sterilite company of Vedanta group ? Over 20,000 people gathered on 100 th day at Thoothukudi , Tamil Nadu to protest against the copper smelting unit and demanded the closure of the unit in views of its serious pollution , as directed by the High Court . Even Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board rejected Sterlite ’ s application seeking reversal of consent to operate the plan in view of the release of effluents . People showed protest and right to protect environment . But the police started firing which killed more than 9 people . It is brutal example of statesponsored terrorism . The citizens who went to protect and preserve the environment as per Court of law
14 have been murdered by the state . Who is responsible for environmental pollution ? Who benefits from it ? Who are the victims ? Who are fighting at the cost of their lives to protect environment ? Whose side is the state ? All this can be understood clearly with one single example of Thoothukudi . Further , it clearly shows the Cruel , Brutal Barbaric and Vicious attitudes of forces which want to strengthen the process of communalization otherwise they warn occurrence of Wars . On the one hand imperialist Nation & dominant class always creates war-fear among neighboring nations , on the others , the WEF advocates good relations among neighboring nations itself is a serious contradiction .
What measures are required to sustain and continue the exploitative system ? This not only requires favourable economic structures but also need strong cultural structures as well as ideology . The success is in the implementation of neo-liberal policies resulted in the transformation of monopoly capitalism into super globalization form which lead to the emergence of powerful , strong and widened brokerage system between powerful corporate forces and common people . The society takes a form where everyone is broker and simulta neously everyone is oppressed . Thus , exploitation , oppression , violence , fraud-all are institutionalized . In these conditions , no chance for the youth of oppressed to lead a decent life . No livelihood , no earnings but always luxurious lives of rich visible & attractive and will be viewed in everybody ’ s home through TV , Internet mobile etc . This single weakness is more than sufficient for the Mafiocracy of the dominant class . It can easily mould them as “ activists ” in its creation of “ criminal world ”. Crime itself is institutionalized . As a part of brokerage system , everybody becomes a criminal . The hierarchical ladder of the socioeconomic structures will be strengthened further . Everyone is bound to commit a crime . Therefore , it is popularised that the solutions can be found in spiritual programs . Therefore the religious leaders are also members in WEF . Extreme anxiety and restlessness are institutionalized in the socioeconomic structure and peace is thrown out . For the organized / institutionalized problem , individual solutions are coming forward like meditation and Yoga for peace . As long as exploitation continues , simultaneously rapid growth can be seen in the religious activities . A multiple growth can be seen in this regard . In the strong unequal society , charity assumes great value . The capitalist class with appropriates wealth generated by working class / oppressed and in return , it is kind enough to give funds to the oppressed in the form of aid and donations . The oppressed who receive donations will have no option except to be subservient , submissive , obedient and timid to the dominant class . Moreover the charity of the rich will be popularised as good and great . This in the guise of charity religious activities of worship like yagas , all the cruel activities like exploitation , corruption and crimes will become invisible . No one thinks about what are the means and methods to acquire wealth .
In the exploitive system people who became strong participants in it , will always listen to the preaching of various religious leaders and offers prayers organise religious rites . Further , they are confident that their illegal , exploitive activities crimes will not be caught by the law . Still a kind of fear encourage them to perform so many rituals , tantric pujas , animal sacrifice , black magic , wearing lucky stones , changing numbers of letters in the names , emergence of so many babas and ammas- Dera Baba ,
