The Covid-19 “pandemic”, or more accurately, the manipulation and exacerbation of the crisis by the ruling elites to disable the economies of nations and destroy the future of their citizens, has brought us to a historic crossroads. It’s cataclysmic collapse and subjugation to totalitarian control of the masses vs. deep systemic realignment of our values and establishing institutions which could and should serve the greater good for everyone on the planet. We can no longer fool ourselves, as we have done so often before, into believing that the current regime of capitalism is sustainable or tolerable. That a few tweaks here and there and we’ll be back to being happy campers. Capitalism is a failed system. It’s time to replace it and oust those from power who continue to prop up this exploitative and ruinous corpse.

A new activist entity has been created: The Covid-19 Global Solidarity Coalition. Below is their manifesto. In just a matter of days it has been signed by “3000 researchers/academics working at over 600 universities.” Add your name and tell two other who you know will join this monumental effort AND tell two other like-minded people. Remember: it’s in the power of numbers … 2 x 2 x 2 … and this can only be effective if we get support from millions of truly committed citizens across the entire global landscape. Viruses aren’t bound by borders, nor should be solidarity with the values that unite all of us in the human experience.

This is our last chance to stand up to tyranny. A virus has brought the world to its knees. It’s time for us to stand up and reinvent ourselves, our communities, our cities and towns, our nations, the family of humankind. You can sign the manifesto HERE. Now for the text of this game-changing, paradigm-shifting document:

COVID-19 GLOBAL SOLIDARITY MANIFESTO

The COVID-19 crisis has revealed the urgency of changing global structures of inequity and violence. We, people around the world, will seize this historical moment. We are building solidarity at every level: local, national, global. Despite the need to physically distance, we are building mutual aid groups, community networks, and social movements. We declare this manifesto today to offer a vision of the world we are building, the world we are demanding, the world we will achieve.

COVID-19危機は不平等と暴力の地球的機構を変える急務を明かにしました。私達、世界中の人々、はこの歴史的時機を捉えましょう。私達は地方、国家、地球のあらゆるレベルで連帯を構築しつつあります。私達は身体的に距離を取る必要がありますが、相互援助グループ、共同体ネットワーク、そして社会的運動を構築しつつあります。私達は私達が構築しつつある世界のビジョン（展望）、私達が要求する世界、私達が達成する世界、のこの声明を今日宣言します。

1. We demand strong, universal health care systems and health care as a basic right for all humans.

１．私達は強固な普遍的健康ケア・システム（擁護・機構）と一切の人間の為の基本的権利としての健康ケア（擁護）を要求します。

2. We demand an immediate global ceasefire in all conflicts and an end to the disease of war. We demand that every nation move at least half its military spending to provide health care, housing, childcare, nutrition, education, Internet access, and other social needs so we can truly protect people’s physical, psychological, and economic security, including through the closure of foreign military bases, the cessation of military exercises, and the abolition of nuclear weapons.

２．私達は一切の紛争での即刻の地球規模の休戦と戦争の病気の終結を要求します。私達は、外国基地の閉鎖、軍事演習の停止、核兵器の禁止を含む、本当に人々の身体的、心理的、そして経済的な安全保障を守ることができるように、健康ケア、住居、児童ケア、栄養、教育、インターネット・アクセス（情報網・参加）、その他の社会的必要を提供する為に、どの国も少なくとも軍事支出の半分を移動することを要求します。

3. We demand that unsustainable capitalist economies, based on the fantasy of endless growth, be replaced with cooperatively based economies of care, where human life, biodiversity, and our natural resources are conserved and a universal basic income is guaranteed so that governments can work together to combat the existential threat of climate change.

３．私達は政府が気候変動による生存への脅威と共に闘うことができるように、終わりなき成長の幻想に基いた維持不可能な資本主義経済が、人間生命、生物多様性、そして自然資源が保存され、普遍的なベーシック・インカム（基礎収入）が保障されるよう、協同的基礎によるケアの経済にとって代わることを要求します。

4. We demand an immediate lifting of all sanctions targeting entire nations, which are impoverishing vulnerable populations and killing people by blocking access to medicines and medical supplies.

４．私達は、薬品や医療備品入手を妨害して弱者を貧困に陥れ、人々を殺すことになる国家全体を標的にした一切の経済制裁を即刻解除することを要求します。

5. We demand that all workers be protected against COVID-19 and have their long-term occupational health, economic, and labor rights guaranteed.

５．私達はすべての労働者がCOVID-19から保護され、彼らの長期の職場における健康と経済的また労働者の権利が保障されることを要求します。

6. We demand the full protection of all people, especially the most vulnerable, including women and other victims of intimate partner violence and child abuse, the elderly, the impoverished, prisoners and detainees, refugees and other displaced peoples, migrants regardless of immigration status, the homeless, LGBTQIA+ individuals, racial/ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, and those disability or ability challenged, among others.

６．私達は一切の人々が、中でも特に、女性や親密なパートナー（同伴者）からの暴力や児童虐待の他の犠牲者、老齢者、貧困者、受刑者や拘留者、難民や他の共生移住者、移住地位の如何に拘わらない移住者、無宿者、LGBTQIA（性的差別者）他の個人、人種的・民族的少数者、原住民、最弱者、そして障碍者即ち才能被挑戦者が、十全な保護を受けることを要求します。

7. We demand that wealthy nations live up to their responsibility to provide medical aid (including through the World Health Organization) and debt relief to save lives in countries without strong public health systems because of long histories of colonialism, neocolonialism, and other exploitation, foreign and domestic.

７．私達は植民主義、新植民主義、そして内外の他の搾取の長い歴史の故に裕福な諸国家が（WHOを経由するものを含み）医療援助と、強固な公共健康組織のない諸国家における生命救済の為の負債緩和を、提供する責任を果たす様に責務を果たすことを要求します。

8. We demand that governments and corporations respect privacy and not exploit the pandemic to expand repressive measures such as surveillance, detention without trial, and restrictions on basic human rights to assembly, free expression, self-determination, and the vote.

８．私達は諸政府および諸企業が、プライバシー（私的生活権）を尊重しパンデミック（全人類的流行病）を悪用して、査察、裁判なしの拘留、集会、表現の自由、自己決定権、そして投票のような、抑圧的な諸方策を拡大しないように要求します。

9. We demand that when governments implement economic stimulus programs and re-open their economies they prioritize the needs of people over the interests of corporate, financial, and political elites.

９．私達は、政府が経済的刺激策を講じ、経済を再開する時に、企業、金融業、そして政治的エリート（選良）の利益よりも人々の必要を優先することを要求します。

In a world where the gap between rich and poor is obscene, with the world’s richest 1% having more than twice the wealth of 6.9 billion people, a fundamental redistribution of wealth and power globally and within nations is imperative. Every human being must have the opportunity to live a healthy, creative, and fulfilling life, free of the ravages of poverty, exploitation, and domination.

世界の裕福な1％の人間が69億人の富の二倍以上を所有するという貧富の格差が醜悪な世界においては富と力の地球規模の、そして国内での、再配分が至上命令です。すべての人間は、貧困、搾取、圧制の惨害から自由になり、健康で、創造的で充実した生活をして生きる権利があります。

I want to thank my colleague and friend, Ron Ridenour, for bringing this noble effort to my attention.
