The enjoyment of human rights is impossible under capitalism



Capitalism in blockbuster films are true: regulation by the free market supply and demand continue to benefit the owners of the goods, the work is not a right other goods; beat the competitor comes at the expense of the misery of the workers, the only freedom that capitalism enforces is at liberty to make surplus workers, to exploit their workforce, the exercise of human rights is directly proportional to the magnitude of capital available for each person. The bourgeois solidarity but not himself, the other cares about you actually make money.

is not necessary to dwell on examples. What is unacceptable is a naive illusion of so many homeless people asking for solidarity in the name of God and give thanks to any glutton for the scraps tossed to them with contempt. Others say, "what would we do if there were poor people rich?, Who give us work?". A lady complained to me the idea that everyone should attend at least secondary education that argument: "So who would perform the unskilled jobs in industry, farming or agriculture?. I refuse to accept the popular assertion according to which "the world has always been and will remain so."

absurd Acts: How is that capitalists lengthen the working day rather than reduce it when technology edge and information technology now allow us to invest less work needed in all economic areas (5, 10, 20 or more times 30 years) for the same or more goods?. How does a worker today that it calls for days of 8 or more hours, ie, why prolong the day when the logic is decreased? And if that was not enough to extend the time also decrease wages to blackmail that "there are many people who need work, you will see that you accept this wage or not to seek another (a)." What Marx called "industrial reserve army." No happy with the above stretch the time and age for retirement. Using these forms of extraction of surplus under the pretext of increasing productivity and compete successfully in the global market, because in this way will produce more goods at lower cost. What a huge contradiction: The great technological advances of the time helping to further exploit the work force! A lower growth greater economic development staff when technological advances should help alleviate the lives of workers. But it does the opposite: comprehensive work, more brutalized, alienate the most of our reptilian brain. This was called right to work.

Let other rights, freedom of expression and free dissemination of ideas. Assuming that allow a freely say what he thinks, exclusion for lack of financial means will close the mouth. In a system where freedom of exercising the right is proportional to the capital available, the lack of access to media will prevent you from expressing their ideas and disseminate them. Is what we see every day: Someone wants to disprove something, but it is bound to silence them, to swallow for himself, because he can not share with anyone. The bourgeoisie boasts saying that everyone here can criticize what you want. What a lie and what cynicism! If you forgive the life contradict or oppose the powerful, it is impossible to find ways to vent intellectually.

The same goes for the right to education. It does not cover fully the demand for school places at any level. The school snacks, another form of handouts, partly reaches the needy. Most children lack the necessary books and school supplies to develop their potential satisfaction individuales. A lo anterior se añade el medio ambiente en el cual se cumple la labor educativa, siempre el sector oficial en condiciones inferiores al sector privado. El ingreso a la Universidad depende principalmente de las condiciones económicas de la familia del o de la aspirante.   Los y las jóvenes con recursos económicos, aunque no sean bueno(a)s estudiantes, podrán comprar sus cupos en Universidades privadas mientras que lo(a)s pobres tendrán que contentarse con tratar de ingresar al mercado laboral, donde el desempleo asciende al 13% de la PEA, más de 2.5 millones de colombianos.

Algo similar sucede con la mayoría rights. When the condition to enjoy material wealth is to own, be able to buy it is because in reality are violated, ignored, denied. And in a country where three-quarters of the population lacks the necessary money for it, those rights exist only for a quarter of its inhabitants. So it is in Colombia, although there is a welfare system beneficiaries (SISBEN) to the lower social strata, it serves only for minor ailments. In other words, it is not guaranteed the right to health or welfare.

Other human rights violated in high grade and the right to life, conscience, housing, collective bargaining, physical integrity, comprehensive adolescent training, social security, protection of intellectual property, protection of the diversity and integrity Environment, to prevent and control the deterioration of natural resources, land rights for those who work ... ..

In short, when the quality of service for the poor is lower than the service for the rich is because they also the right is being trampled to equality. A welfare system does not respect the human rights of anyone, starting because it violates the most sacred of human beings, their dignity. The socialist system is the best guarantee of the enjoyment of human rights on an equal footing.
