camps, concentration camps, gas chambers: the inexhaustible resources, extreme thirst for profit of the monster known as "capital"
[Taken from the blog Act to understand, understand to act . See, on the same subject: Auschwitz or the great alibi , Buchenwald is capitalism , Horror ]
"There is a significant difference between history and memory . The story leads to reflection and, according to rational paths, refer to this, the commemoration of a crystallization process that places its subject out of time. " (Georges Bensoussan, The legacy of Auschwitz, Einaudi, Torino, 2002 )
The soldiers of the Army of the First Ukrainian Front, commanded by Marshal Koniev, entered the death camp and discovered the "shame" of Auschwitz. According to investigations conducted immediately after the "discovery" of the camp, British experts, Americans and Russians, who work in partnership, with approximately four million people were killed in the crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Advanced
of Russian troops in Poland, in the direction of Germany, Hitler forced the leaders to evacuate dozens of prisoners from concentration camps to exterminate and destroy the plants, which according to best estimates were used in total for the genocide of approximately six million Jews in Europe.
The last transport of prisoners of both sexes to Auschwitz took place on foot. It was January 18. In the days before the liberation of the prisoners was - according to state a few survivors - a dramatic tension. In the field were mainly those who could not walk.
Almost immediately after the last transmission, the SS officers began to burn the warehouse setting fire to his clothes soaked in gasoline, ripped men killed in gas chambers. On January 20, the SS blew up the crematorium number 2 and 3, and the night between 25 and 26 also crematorium 5.
As has been able to get to so much horror?
In Europe dominated by Germany, durante la seconda guerra imperialistica mondiale (1939-45), ha preso corpo il terrificante “Nuovo Ordine” preannunciato da Hitler nelle pagine del “Mein Kampf”. Tale Nuovo Ordine , il cui presupposto ideologico è costituito dall'idea di una gerarchia razziale dei popoli da stabilire nel mondo, si basa, in sostanza, su uno sfruttamento brutale, a vantaggio del sistema capitalistico tedesco, di tutti i territori direttamente o indirettamente controllati dalla Germania, secondo criteri organizzativi diversi e a livelli diversi di intensità.
Un primo livello è quello dei popoli formalmente indipendenti ma considerati quali satelliti della Germania, perché la loro economia capitalistica è organizzata, dai loro regimi fascisti asserviti a quello nazista, per rispondere alle necessità dell'economia capitalistica tedesca. Si tratta dell'Italia (chiamata a fornire alla Germania sia quei beni industriali che essa non produce a sufficienza, sia alcuni prodotti agricoli), dell'Ungheria (fornitrice soprattutto di carbone, alluminio e farine), della Romania (fornitrice soprattutto di grano e petrolio), della Bulgaria (da cui i tedeschi prelevano piombo, zinco e semi oleosi), della Slovacchia (fornitrice di carni, latticini e pellami) e, nelle intenzioni di Hitler per il dopoguerra, anche della Spagna e del Portogallo .
Un secondo level is that of the people who, despite their fascist government, however, are under German military occupation. This is in Norway, Croatia, Holland and France, whose conditions are miserable because the presence of the German army means to pay all costs of employment and the growing influence of far right movements to local, Nazi inspiration and criminal behavior. A
third and lowest level is ultimately that of the so-called protectorate, administered directly by the Germans through their governors, without any local authority. This is the Bohemia-Moravia, Serbia, Wartegau (Poland) of Courland (which also includes Lithuania, Livonia, Estonia and White Russia) and Ukraine. All these areas are populated by Slavs , which according to Hitler's ideology, form, together with Jews and blacks , an inferior race and subhuman, which therefore would be legitimate, in this absurd view, use in conditions of slavery for the benefit of the German master race. And indeed, between 1941 and 1943 Hitler's regime began to put these ideas into practice, by killing whole families of landowners of the protectorates, through their land to settlers brought in from Germany, and the provision of these settlers, in return obligation imposed on them di inviare in Germania una parte dei prodotti agricoli delle loro nuove proprietà, squadre di schiavi slavi per ogni sorta di lavoro.
In condizioni di ancora più atroce schiavitù vengono posti i circa 3 milioni di prigionieri russi caduti in mano ai tedeschi nella campagna militare del 1941 ed i circa 9 milioni di ebrei rimasti nei territori controllati dalla Germania. Per costoro vengono creati nuovi lager oltre a quelli già esistenti in Germania da prima della guerra come Buchenwald e Dachau , tra cui i più grandi a Mathausen in Austria, a Flossenburg ed a Belsen in Boemia, ad Auschwitz and Treblinka in Poland, assigned to special units of the SS with the task of organizing the exploitation of energy work of inmates at the lowest cost (and then distributing them only rags for clothes and food waste as food only) and up to ' exhaustion (thus assigning them tasks exhausting and killing not just give a sign of being sick or too weak). The horror of these camps get to the point that there is even allowed the use of inmates as raw material. In fact, in Germany at that time soaps are made with human fat, combs and coat with human bones, bags, gloves and lampshades of human skin tanned. Other inmates are used as guinea pigs for experiments chimici, chirurgici e farmacologici.
Né si deve credere che si tratti dell'universo demoniaco delle sole SS e dei più degenerati dei capi nazisti. Al contrario, il capitalismo tedesco è beneficiario dell'orrore dei lager e vi è coinvolto fino in fondo. “ In previsione di ulteriori esperimenti con nuova droga chimica, vi saremo grati se ci poteste procurare 150 soggetti in buona salute “. “ Gli esperimenti sono stati eseguiti. Tutti i soggetti sono morti. Ci metteremo presto in contatto con voi per una nuova ordinazione “. Queste frasi agghiaccianti si trovano in lettere commerciali spedite nel 1943 dal gruppo tedesco Farben , massimo gruppo chimico del paese, administration of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Other industrial groups in Germany have behaved in the same way, and particularly numerous, then, were the industries, or for lack of workers (acute in Germany at the time, after millions of men were called to arms, and are not been replaced in part by foreign workers to emigrate to Germany made), or to make savings on wages, have entered into contracts to sell real internees, to be used as slaves for hard work and unskilled, with administration of the SS.
The system of Nazi concentration camps is revealed, therefore, a careful historical analysis, not as a product of a regression to barbarism un'ancestrale, but of a particular development, modern and inhumanly efficient of German capitalism, in order to overcome the imbalance between its revenues and costs, caused by scarcity of capital and high commodity prices, is at its periphery a system of non-capitalist social relations, and yet functional to capitalist profit (otherwise, if not greater efficiency dehumanizing, how did the first British capitalism with slavery of the Negro American plantations aimed at providing the raw material of the English textile industry).
ultimate view of the so-called New Order dreamed of by Hitler, after all, the whole Slavic Eastern Europe would have become una sorta di immenso lager che, fornendo alla Germania derrate alimentari gratuite, perché prodotte da schiavi, avrebbe aumentato il potere di acquisto dei salari tedeschi e consentito quindi al capitalismo industriale tedesco di accrescere i profitti riducendo ulteriormente i salari.
Ma i lager hanno anche un'altra funzione nel mondo hitleriano. Essi servono cioè come una sorta di laboratorii sociali in cui sperimentare nuove forme di dominio dell'uomo sull'uomo che possano risultare utili al sistema capitalistico per neutralizzare quanti esso rende marginali o considera ostili. Nei lager, infatti, non c'è disordine ma, al contrario, un ordine, per quanto perverso, formalistico e minuzioso. Gli internati sono suddivisi in categorie ordinate gerarchicamente e distinte da contrassegni visibili: più in basso di tutti, gli ebrei , segnati da un triangolo rosso; poi gli asociali (cioè zingari , omosessuali e lavoratori licenziati per infrazioni alla disciplina di fabbrica o di ufficio), segnati da un triangolo nero; poi i dissidenti religiosi (valdesi, testimoni di Geova, ecc.), segnati con un triangolo viola; e al vertice criminali comuni (per lo più i condannati dai tribunali per omicidio o violenza carnale), segnati con un triangolo verde. A questi ultimi viene affidato il compito di mantenere la disciplina quotidiana (implicante the killing of the weak and sick, sort of guinea pigs, etc..), they usually run with brutal efficiency and attentive, because at this price they have to save his life. What we seek the Nazis, in fact, is that every work produces lager, torture and death independently, with minimal intervention of the SS, doing work for its operation, or even life in return for the deferral of death, some of these inmates , according to their internal hierarchies that have been said, and turning off the other part of any spirit of revolt through precise destruction techniques also psychological.
In this way, the camp becomes the experimental prototype of a future social perimeter where they can be gradually wiped out, without fear of riots is not necessary to use large repressive forces of repression and consequent inevitable publicity, everyone, no matter how many they may be, who do not know how to accept their assigned places in society from capitalism (German) , Nazi wartime, but even if democratic in peacetime .
