Роберт Келер "Забастовка" (1886)
На полотне изображена конфронтация предпринимателя с группой забастовщиков. Разгневанная толпа стоит перед владельцем фабрики, который стоит на лестнице своего особняка и борется с лидером толпы. Слуга наблюдает за сценой, бледный от испуга.

США остаются одной из немногих развитых стран, где на федеральном уровне не предусмотрен оплачиваемый отпуск по беременности и родам. По данным ОЭСР, большинство развитых государств предоставляют матерям в среднем около девятнадцати недель отдыха с полным сохранением з/п.

Иван Творожеников, 1886 год.

[OUTSIDERS.ESP @outsidersesp]

Los primeros campos de concentración los levantó España en 1895 en Cuba.

Acabaron con la vida de medio millón de cubanos.

El primer campo de concentración de la era moderna lo puso en marcha el general español Valeriano Weyler en Cuba en 1895, en vísperas de la guerra con EEUU que finalizaría con la pérdida de las colonias de ultramar, en 1898. La idea del general era “reconcentrar” a los campesinos, con el fin de evitar que ayudaran al Ejército Libertador, conocidos como “mambises”.

La proclama que daba inicio a la reconcentración decía:

1. Todos los habitantes de las zonas rurales o de las áreas exteriores a la línea de ciudades fortificadas, serán concentrados dentro de las ciudades ocupadas por las tropas en el plazo de ocho días. Todo aquel que desobedezca esta orden o que sea encontrado fuera de las zonas prescritas, será considerado rebelde y juzgado como tal.

2. Queda absolutamente prohibido, sin permiso de la autoridad militar del punto de partida, sacar productos alimenticios de las ciudades y trasladarlos a otras, por mar o por tierra. Los violadores de estas normas serán juzgados y condenados en calidad de colaboradores de los rebeldes.

3. Se ordena a los propietarios de cabezas de ganado que las conduzcan a las ciudades o sus alrededores, donde pueden recibir la protección adecuada.

Los cerca de 400.000 cubanos encerrados en estos campos hacia finales de 1896 vivían en “condiciones higiénicas deplorables” y carecían de una alimentación suficiente. Además, la privación de libertad de los campesinos provocó una hambruna que cercenó a un tercio de la población de la isla. La cifra de fallecidos en los campos entre 1895 y 1898 se estima entre 300.000 y 600.000, según el historiador Miguel Leal Cruz.

Por los servicios prestados a la Corona española, el general Valeriano Weyler ostenta desde hace décadas una placa en el Paseo del Pintor Rosales de Madrid: “Modelo de lealtad constitucional”, según se lee, sin aparente ironía.

Tal fue el éxito de los campos de concentración que los ingleses no tardaron en copiar la idea y aplicarla en su guerra contra los boers en Sudáfrica, aunque fueron los nazis los que llevaron la idea de concentrar -y aniquilar- civiles hasta el paroxismo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Imaginen el blanqueo y el reclutamiento de nazis (fue protegido por Reino Unido) por parte del capitalismo occidental después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, para que un criminal nazi de las Camisas Pardas acabase de jefe de las Naciones Unidas durante 9 años... pasó de quemar vivos a niños yugoslavos en graneros a hablar de paz en la ONU.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Los colonos holandeses perpetraron horribles crímenes en Indonesia, por ejemplo la masacre contra la aldea de Rawagede, el 9 de diciembre de 1947, para evitar que el pais se independizara.

En este aldea, los holandeses buscaban al líder independentista, quemaron toda la aldea, casa por casa, torturaron a los nativos para sacarles información.... y al no conseguirla, abrieron fuego matando a más de 430 indonesios, incluidos niños.

Esta era la "democrática" Europa después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, perpetraban los mismos crímenes de los nazis.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Así era el brutal colonialismo holandés en Indonesia, donde los colonos blancos implantaron un sistema de segregación racial, donde los indonesios nativos, incluido niños, eran sus esclavos sin derechos.

Occidente no se hizo rica gracias a su esfuerzo, sino debido al saqueo y al genocidio de los pueblos nativos africanos, asiáticos y sudamericanos... invadían sus paises, saqueaban sus materias primas y se llevaban la riqueza a Europa.

Pero estos criminales racistas que invadieron y saquearon medio mundo son los que hoy te hablan de que los inmigrantes están invadiendo sus países.

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

India had enough food supplies to feed the starving - why had the government instead let them die? While Orissans perished in droves in 1866, Mr Naoroji noted that India had actually exported over 200m pounds of rice to Britain. He discovered a similar pattern of mass exportation during other famine years. "Good God," Mr Naoroji declared, "when will this end?"

It did not end anytime soon. Famines recurred in 1869 and 1874. Between 1876 and 1878, during the Madras famine, anywhere from four to five million people perished after the viceroy, Lord Lytton, adopted a hands-off approach similar to that employed in Ireland and Orissa.

By 1901, Romesh Chunder Dutt, another leading nationalist, enumerated 10 mass famines since the 1860s, setting the total death toll at a whopping 15 million. Indians were now so poor - and the government so indifferent in its response - that, he stated, "every year of drought was a year of famine."

A wealthier, less agriculturally dependent India is now able to ensure that this does not happen. Significant problems remain: the Indian Supreme Court recently upbraided some state governments for their "ostrich-like attitude" towards the current drought.

For such reasons, it is all the more important to remember the Orissa Famine today. This humanitarian disaster, and the others that followed, galvanized Indians into fighting against British colonial rule.

Framing and implementing a robust national drought policy, as the Supreme Court has ordered, will be a fitting way to commemorate the million Indians who perished 150 years ago.

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

How British let one million Indians die in famine -

The Orissa famine of 1866.....

Famine, while no stranger to the subcontinent, increased in frequency and deadliness with the advent of British colonial rule. The East India Company helped kill off India's once-robust textile industries, pushing more and more people into agriculture. This, in turn, made the Indian economy much more dependent on the whims of seasonal monsoons.

In modern-day Orissa state, the worst hit region, one out of every three people perished, a mortality rate far more staggering than that caused by the Irish Potato Famine.

The Orissa famine also became an important turning point in India's political development, stimulating nationalist discussions on Indian poverty. Faint echoes of these debates still resonate today amid drought-relief efforts.

"It can, we fear, no longer be concealed that we are on the eve of a period of general scarcity," announced the Englishman, a Calcutta newspaper, in late 1865.

The Indian and British press carried reports of rising prices, dwindling grain reserves, and the desperation of peasants no longer able to afford rice.

All of this did little to stir the colonial administration into action. In mid-19th Century, it was common economic wisdom that government intervention in famines was unnecessary and even harmful. The market would restore a proper balance. Any excess deaths, according to Malthusian principles, were nature's way of responding to overpopulation.

This logic had been used with devastating effect two decades beforehand in Ireland, where the government in Britain had, for the most part, decided that no relief was the best relief.

On a flying visit to Orissa in February 1866, Cecil Beadon, the colonial governor of Bengal (which then included Orissa), staked out a similar position. "Such visitations of providence as these no government can do much either to prevent or alleviate," he pronounced.

Regulating the skyrocketing grain prices would risk tampering with the natural laws of economics. "If I were to attempt to do this," the governor said, "I should consider myself no better than a dacoit or thief." With that, Mr Beadon deserted his emaciated subjects in Orissa and returned to Kolkata (Calcutta) and busied himself with quashing privately funded relief efforts.

In May 1866, it was no longer easy to ignore the mounting catastrophe in Orissa. British administrators in Cuttack found their troops and police officers starving. The remaining inhabitants of Puri were carving out trenches in which to pile the dead. "For miles round you heard their yell for food," commented one observer.

As more chilling accounts trickled into Calcutta and London, Mr Beadon made a belated attempt to import rice into Orissa. It was, with cruel irony, hindered by an overabundant monsoon and flooding. Relief was too little, too late, too rotten. Orissans paid with their lives for bureaucratic foot-dragging.

For years, a rising generation of western-educated Indians had alleged that British rule was grossly impoverishing India. The Orissa famine served as eye-popping proof of this thesis. It prompted one early nationalist, Dadabhai Naoroji, to begin his lifelong investigations into Indian poverty.

As the famine abated in early 1867, Mr Naoroji sketched out the earliest version of his "drain theory"—the idea that Britain was enriching itself by literally sucking the lifeblood out of India.

"Security of life and property we have better in these times, no doubt," he conceded. "But the destruction of a million and a half lives in one famine is a strange illustration of the worth of the life and property thus secured."
