Well two really, from Ajamu Baraka,
Systematic rape; the science of torture; burnings of towns and cities; sterilizations; chattel slavery; genocides; eugenics; concentration camps; world wars; colonial fascism are the unique products of Western civilization to global history over the last five hundred years. Therefore, how could anyone, except for the most naive, dishonest, or blind, believe that something called human rights could emerge out of the cultural milieu of ongoing and naturalized colonialism and Western imperialism?
What are the outcomes of this ongoing global destruction? Well two possibilities -
The global reorganization of capital and the global capitalist system can only lead to two outcomes. Structural constraints on capital with a corresponding reorganization of trade and global production informed by a cooperative ecosocialism and people(s)-centered human rights or a prolonged period of global fascist barbarism and the real possibility of human extinction.
