La lutta continua
Inspiring words from Arundhati Roy.
I note particularly her clever allusion to 1984, when she asks what peace means for the oppressed. Peace is war.
Peace without justice is war. It is not always waged with tanks. Sometimes those waging it use laws, sometimes ballots. It's easy to cheat a vote when winning is everything.
Roy is not alone in thinking that you cannot distinguish morally between terrorism and warmaking. What after all makes it okay to murder just because you have put on a uniform?
It is not, she points out, with us or against us.
No, but it is us against them. Fuck them all. Fuck those who believe humans are just so much meat for their sausage machine. Fuck them whether they are masquerading as Islamists or corporatists. And bless Arundhati Roy for never ceasing to use the platform she has to speak for those who have none.
