The Global Battle of Corona and the Post-Corona world!

Images of medieval Europe,
the era of the plague and the "Black Death" are slowly being dredged up in people's
minds!The shock of this epidemic has totally stunned the lower classes in the developed
world, those who, despite all the criticism and objections that they have against their
governments and systems, are historically accustomed to trusting their own governments
in the face of such "trivial" crisis!; while the upper layers and the governments seem
more embarrassed, confused and frightened! Apparently, no one has a decisive "action
plan" for steering through the "Corona Crisis"!
The most obvious strategy of the ruling governments is to let us fall gradually into the
"whirlpool of the crisis". They say: let's "buy some time" and try to slow down the
mortality rate, until the "system capabilities" keep up with the spread rate of the virus.
For how long?! Unknown! This is the action plan that the most powerful and "civilised"
governments present to their own subjugated people! This is besides Iran, with an
officially medieval government! Besides the Islamic regime, which is the most
incongruous and unappealing historical slur on human societies. A country in which
people have no trust whatsoever in the rotten religious government that has no legitimacy
among them. A state that for over forty years, has abused 80 million Iranians as its
"slaves", "hostages" and “herds,” in all its political-military, security and economic
dealings; a state for whom protecting the environment for human beings, animals and
plants is nothing but an ironic joke!The Corona "crisis", even though its victims are
mostly from the poor and religion stricken communities like Iran and other marginalised
regions, is a crisis of the "civilised" continent! It is a "crisis" of the countries in which the
"heart" of today's conventional societies beats; countries where the "spirit" of the needs of
the dragon of global economy rules; countries where the seeds of the future fourth and
fifth industrial revolutions are sown, and where the modern and current policies govern.
Societies in which people presumably have left their control over their "destiny" to their
own "elected" civilised governments of the 21st century.The Corona Crisis is a crisis of
societies where famine, migration, hunger and dying of simple diseases such as "cholera"
and "malaria" are unheard of for decennia! It is the crisis of civilised societies where
astronomical distances were felt with other secluded parts of the world, in which different
controllable epidemics took victims easily. It is the crisis of societies that felt responsible
for helping the hungry, the sick, and the famine stricken people in this and that part of the
world, by generously donating their "humanitarian" aids to less "prosperous" human
beings! It is the crisis of societies in which the rulers and governments are “non-
totalitarian” and “non-regressive,” but “pro-human rights” and “democratic."In these
societies, in circumstances that not only common sense, but also all scientific and

pharmacological sources verify that the modern-day humans were able to cope with this
"very simple" epidemic, what could be the responses of the people's "elected"
representatives and the ruling governments, who have had total control over human
societies for centuries under pretexts of "protecting people's interests" and "preserving
their safety and health"? In circumstances in which "masters" and "slavers" of the
civilised world, in their "sunny days", when productivity and profitability soared
astronomically, didn't save up anything, not even as much as their slave-master
forefathers had for their slaves' health and well-being during the "rainy days". They say
that hospitals are short of beds! That there not adequate oxygen ventilators, and nor had
producing them been considered as urgent; that they didn't spend anything on training
medical and healthcare personnel, research and medicine development! that now it takes
months and maybe years for even a simple test to be carried out, and have allowed this
epidemic to prey on the more vulnerable populations such as those already ill and the
elderly; until the system is able to catch up with the rate of spread of this epidemic.
This crisis, which is not biological but political and economic, cannot be easily survived
for those sitting on their Godly thrones; not by discovering a vaccine, nor by producing a
medicine. What worries the governments in Western countries is not the devastating
effects of the virus and the victimization of the people, but its consequences and the Post-
Corona world. The speed of the massive spread of the Corona virus is across a planet that
already had no sign of peace, prosperity, welfare and security whatsoever, but was rather
caught up in a whirlpool of catastrophes and crisis, one after another, and was already
burning in the tumult of significant, historic, and decisive "changes"! Changes such as
finding a way to deal with the dangerous environmental crisis, resisting against the
consequences of "Brexit" and the economic crisis, the successive austerity measures, the
escape of millions from the hells of the Middle East and the "refugee crisis", the
economic sanctions on Iran and its fatal consequences for the people on the one hand, and
the explosion of grassroots uprisings in Iran, and the hope of the fall of Islamic terrorism
in Iran and the region, along with putting an end to the US state terrorism, the rise of
popular uprisings in France, Chile, Lebanon and Iraq, … all of which are just the "tip of
the iceberg" of a melting down world. The addition of the "Corona crisis" to this scene
takes the transformation of the political and economic situation of the world to a much
higher and more complex level.
In the Western societies, the people who are accustomed to not using catastrophes and
natural disasters "politically", and initially try not to put pressure on their governments
regarding the " Corona crisis", will wake up after experiencing initial shocks and relying
on common sense, that this epidemic was not and is not a natural disaster but an
absolutely preventable and controllable situation. Strong signs of awakening can already
be seen among them. They have already put pressure on their governments by patiently
publishing information and raising awareness. But this patience is not permanent and will
end quickly. The ruling powers are well aware of this! Citizens of Italy, Spain, Britain,
France and the US ask themselves why they are so defenceless against a simple
epidemic! Why are there "military and economic" infrastructures, capital, money, banks
and accumulation, but there is not - and has never been - any "infrastructure" for people’s

health and the environment! Why is there absolutely nothing stored up in the "sunny
days" for these "rainy days"?! People know God is not in charge! If in the Middle Ages,
the era of ignorance, the master (lord) could store up a few bags of grain for winter and
"rainy days", how come in the era of the fourth Industrial Revolution, there are no
hospital beds, infirmaries, medicines and oxygen ventilators put aside? This fundamental
loss of trust in the "elected governments" is more fatal for the ruling powers than the
Corona itself!
It is said that the impacts of Corona on the history and political structure and order of the
world are unpredictable. Nine eleven, and the 2008 financial and global crisis are not
comparable to this Corona crisis. It is said that, as the plague epidemic in the Middle
Ages changed Europe and subsequently the world, discredited the Church, changed the
work force and the working population demographically and caused the Renaissance, and
also changed the economic, political and ideological structure of human societies, the
world after Corona can evolve into the same dimensions! The ruling class and its
representatives in power are now feeling the weight of the genie born out of the "Corona
Crisis".They are trying to prepare themselves to face the Post-Corona world. Stupefying
people and concealing their system's inability to meet the community's minimum health-
related requirements will not work for them anymore. The wiser and more forethoughtful
strata of the ruling class, in the states where they have little or no control over the
market's uncontrollable behavior, declare that we must change our "lifestyles"! Which
actually means "we may have to lower our profitability so that the environment and the
labour force would survive in order to guarantee exploitation and also in order to keep
our class in power". They say "we need to learn from our mistakes." Which means "we'd
better, like our forefathers, act with a little providence in terms of treating our slaves.". It
is said that - for the reasons mentioned - we may "have to" limit and sacrifice
"democracy" and "freedoms" a little bit! Which means "we have to curb the
unconditional "freedom" of "destroying the environment. We may have to restrict the
absolute liberty of turning everything and everyone into commodity; from labour force to
human body tissues, water, air, health, sanitation and people's lives and security, and
sending them all into the market to be bargained and make profit from it. For the
bourgeoisie, restricting these freedoms, especially in the post-Cold War and the current
multi-polar world, and the absolute rule of the "free market" can, however, be a big
gamble, as dangerous as a suicide attack! The wheel of history does not turn backwards!
After the Corona crisis, the return to the "Welfare Societies" and Western "Social
Democracy" - which were by-products of the workers' revolutions and particularly of the
October Revolution - will only be an impossibility, a nostalgic dream for the bourgeois
governments, who have assumed minimum responsibility regarding people. In addition to
this historical truth, any "change in the lifestyle" in the current capitalist system and
applying "the lessons learnt from the Corona crisis", will not be taking place in vacuum!
The change in the way of life, the change in the order of society, for bringing about social
justice, will also bring around and activate other forces!Any retreat or compromise by the
bourgeois states, in the face of the expectations of the people, will strengthen the
oppressed. The "Corona crisis" has already brought together a world of citizens, who are

not responsible for turning this "simple epidemic" into a catastrophe for humans and a
global crisis. It has given them a feeling of being fellow-sufferers and a feeling of being
defenceless against the ruling class. Humanity will rise up as a unified solid body beyond
all national, racial and religious boundaries, in the face of this monstrous, greedy and
avaricious god - this time it can rise from the heart of the civilised societies.If in the
Middle Ages, the Church failed to respond to the people who had abandoned God, and
eventually the plague and the Black Death made decisive blows to the superstition of the
Church and the religious establishment, and along with changes in the structure of the
labour force, paved the way for the rapid transition from the old rotten system, presently
the "Corona Crisis" has been attacking today's superstitions, today's God, and the states
which safeguard the anti-humane system of profit and capital. It has exposed the
"superstition" of the civilised and modern world of the 21st century that the state, in the
cradle of democracy, does not represent all people, nor that it serves each and everyone!
It has become clear that the "evilness", irresponsibility and the abandonment of human
health and life, the absence of adequate facilities and provisions, are not unique to the
underdeveloped countries and "totalitarian" states! Democracy and parliament, the right
of the people, and the inalienable human rights as well as the responsibilities of the states,
are all as absurd and superstitious as believing in the medieval god and the punishments
of witches to combat people's sufferings! The burning of witches of the Middle East,
brandings of "axis of evil", and sacrificing the weaker links in the farthest parts of the
world by the gods and missionaries of the civilised world's superstitions, will only save
them just as much as it did save the medieval systems!The veil of deception of the
civilised world in the 21st-century will be completely removed in the course of the
"Corona crisis". Then the glimpses of the "post-Corona world" can be seen. What has
brought panic to the states of the developed countries, and turned the world's largest and
most advanced capitals into ghost towns, is not the inability of human beings to confront
this virus, but the uncertainty of the future of the post-Corona system. The civilised
people in these societies is observing these, and that they can overthrow this god just like
the medieval ones.
The end of the Corona pandemic could be the end of the authority of the gods of this
century. It can be the start of an Age of Enlightenment for humans, from Asia to Africa,
from Europe to America, who despite all the false divisions and differentiations,
sympathises for and feels solidarity with each other in the midst of this "crisis". Human
beings have no choice but to combat this system whose every second of existence is
against them.
