The great change in the tone of the city with the tech industry has been an overriding preference for right leaning libertarian nonsense that breeds individualism rather than solidarity. Thus, the attitude of the folks who support legal cannabis but hate the “filth” and “danger” of homeless people is to treat this like a “snow day” and party on like the spring breakers in Florida. They are not the only ones as a wide variety of people work out in the park, meet up with other parents and let their kids play together and run wild, without a word about what 6’ might look like. To those of us who are immune compromised, this is insanely selfish and ignorant and on par with anti-vaxxers. This isn’t helped as more police cruisers are around, but don’t make any effort to educate the public as was outlined- officers were to explain the order before issuing tickets, neither is happening. Parks and Rec have not closed children’s playgrounds or collective gym equipment in the park, so dozens of folks, in my sight alone, use them continuously throughout the day. I don't have any illusions about police officers as anything, but watchdogs for the rich, but pointing out that they are clearing not up for the job, or able to do it, helps to show the real functions of "policing". Officers are not wearing gloves or masks, neither are workers in grocery stores, so this enforces the feeling of safety that people are seeking. Of course, it is the responsibility of corporations to make sure their workers are informed and have the proper equipment, but when we don’t have enough supplies for health care workers, do we expect them for other sectors soon? By legitimizing behaviors that will not flatten the curve, the outlook looks bleak if this continues as it has. Overall, the assumption in U.S. culture is that the unit of measurement and the basis of moral obligation is the individual. Whether it originates from a “left” or “right” position, the mistake is an error of starting with this flawed premise. Whereas this can be more easily mystified in political or economic relations, when dealing with a biological agent, the consequences of social behaviors are not so easily shrugged off. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

You advocate mass testing as opposed to social distancing. The point has been made elsewhere that South Korea has a single payer system, which is much more effective in dealing with this crisis than the US system. The US system is not going to change in the short term. Also, one of the obstacles to mass testing in the US has been the fact that they have very few test kits. This is not going to change within days, or even within 2 weeks.

This is the policy from the regimes in Beijing, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Vienna, and soon other countries too: Lock the people up, restrict freedom of movement, surveillance, etc. Of course they support also some forms of health care but much less, more expansive, with less and costly testing, etc. Surely this extreme state of emergency can not go on forever as it is bad for the economy. But they need some time now to implement a new form of state bonaparist regime with less democratic rights (in those countries where such exist). After they have implemented the most important draconic measures they will relax some conditions with some normalization of social life. But they will certainly try to retain a number of these militarization measures. The reformist bureaucracy fully supports the militarization policy (see e.g. Podemos in Spain’s government). The radical left is divided. Surely they all support the expansion of the health care sector etc. But the Lockdown Left supports also the militarization, i.e. the most important anti-democratic attack today. This is the dividing line today.

Already, it seems the strike of graduate students in the University of California system is collapsing. It's simply not possible to run a strike virtually. Not only that, but a huge number of workers are now working from home. I think that is a very regressive policy since it separates workers. I think that will continue after this is over. We should all remember Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine". For all its weaknesses (and there was one serious one), it made an excellent point: That capitalism will use any shock that comes about, whether socially made or made by the forces of nature, to advance its agenda. Most certainly it will use this pandemic. And that is despite the fact that while it has been brought about by a pathogen and the fact that this sort of zoonotic disease is becoming increasingly common, the means of transmission of those pathogens (wildlife encroachment and factory farming, are a direct result of capitalist development.

I am also aware that the pressure of the public opinion is currently extremely strong. Many modern Marxists have looked with ridicule to the European social democrats who wavered in summer 1914. But they could not imagine the immense pressure of public opinion which existed at that time (and which was shared and supported, by the way, by most scientists). As a result, many of the left (who have a radical point of view about … what should have been done in 1914 when they were not born) share the idea today that this time really we should accept being imprisoned at home and not fight against the ruling class. This time, the rulers surely will not lie because they also want to fight the pandemic. “But many scientists support this!” Is it really the case that scientists are above classes and class interests? Is it really the case that all scientists support mass lock down? Well, everyone with some interest in the issue can see that this is not the case. I for my side listen to my comrades with medical knowledge. And, fortunately, I have also the chance to hear about the political discussions from my comrades in very different countries – from South Korea to Mexico and from Britain to Kenya. This allows me having a better understanding about global discussions (and not only those in the imperialist West). It was never my intention to push anyone to go on the street. Every one shall be free to stay home. People who want to lock themselves up should do so. It is just annoying to hear self-proclaimed Marxists supporting the measures of the ruling class to forbid anyone to fight on the streets as it happened until very recently in France, Chile, and many other countries. And all this at a moment when a new 1929 takes place before our eyes! (And is it really accidental that the bourgeoisie imposes these measures at exactly the same time as we have a new 1929?! Is no one suspicious about the timing?! And this from people who consider themselves as intellectuals and academics!) Allow me to predict that the bourgeoisie will say for quite some time that there should be no mass demonstrations. Surely, only for health risks reason. And, guess what, there will be a number of scientists who will support this. Guess who pays them?! And during all this time, when we are locked up for weeks and months, they will advance their counter-revolutionary agenda (from austerity to surveillance etc.) So when will you support mass actions again? Probably when most of the left will do so. Because than it would be not “sectarian” to call for this. And when will the left call for mass action? Probably when Sanders, Corbyn etc. think it is OK. Because than it would be not “sectarian” for them to call for this. And when will Sanders and Corbyn …. Finally, the South Koreans demonstrated that it is possible to fight the COVID-19 epidemic with mass and free testing, with free health care, with basic rules for hygiene but without mass lock down. I am sure that the virus in South Korea is not less aggressive and transmittable than in the U.S.! South Korea succeeded in this DESPITE a reactionary evangelic cult which (deliberately or reckless) spread the virus as much as possible. The acts of such a criminal cult made it even more difficult for South Korea to fight the epidemic (the cult leader, a self-proclaimed brother of Jesus, told his supporters not to cooperate with the health service and not to tell them where they had been, i.e. whom they might have infected). Why do comrades still claim that the reactionary lock down policy is TINA (“There Is No Alternative”)? If comrades support the lock down policy, they should at least not also lock down their brain!

At this time mass street protests ultimately means further overwhelming the hospital system more than it is already going to be, causing more death and despair. There have already been cases of strikes in Spain, and we may see similar in the US with workers not being properly protected and refusing to work until they are. We must extend solidarity to those workers without making the situation worse. Exacerbating a public health crisis is not going to help build a mass worker movement.

It's no less real when its discussed on the bourgeois media or by members of the bourgeois state. Too, no group of serious medical professionals are saying that these precautions against the pandemic are excessive. Considering that these precautions are also playing merry hell with the economy, it's a fair bet that the capitalists aren't playing with some new means to annoy us. The point is that here--or in Italy or in Spain--these restrictions are being imposed as temporary measures. Are there dangers? There are always dangers when you deal with these people, so we should stay cautious and watch their every move. I suspect, for example, that there's going to be a serious effort to normalize some of what they've slipped into education--particularly the shift to online routines. When this is behind us, there will be major efforts to impose these more generally, and this will have to be fought.

At least this is what has is happening just now in Europe. I don't believe the US capitalists are better. How do you want to fights against this under the conditions of mass lock down? And, again I might be too suspicious, but all the reports about the massive expansion of the survaillance and police state might be also difficult to stop without mass protests. Obviously people from risk groups might prefer not to participate in such street protests in such times. But shall all people now refrain from fighting for their rights?! And for how long shall we let work the capitalist state without interference from the people? Or do you think we Marxists have been too critical about the capitalist state in the past and this time, at the COVID-19 crisis, we should trust it and accept that it takes much more powers than it did until now?

This has been even recognized by a recently published study of a bourgeois think-tank. We have reported about this in an article (https://www.thecommunists.net/worldwide/global/confirmation-of-revolutionary-character-of-historic-period/) The current counter-revolutionary offensive using the COVID-19 crisis as cover is a strike against this global wave of popular uprisings. 2) Mass lock down of millions of people and suppressing democratic rights like demonstrating and assembling helps the ruling class, not the oppressed. It also does not help in itself to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Look to Italy where you have a lock down and people die. South Korea has mass testing, free healt care and and a good health carse system. This why it managed the crisis without mass lock down. Trusting the capitalist state and its propaganda is never a good guide!

In Australia, planned nationwide demonstrations for refugee rights on April 5 have been called off (at least in Melbourne and Brisbane, and probably elsewhere). An atomised population, staying at home and not taking any collective action, is ideal for authoritarian governments. It is uncertain how long this situation will continue. Some reports have said it will take a year or two to develop a vaccine. Will there be no demonstrations or mass meetings for two years? Is such a ban actually necessary to prevent the spread of the the virus. Would it be sufficient to urge people not to come if they are sick or in close contact with a sick person, and not to have physical contact with other people they meet at the event, e.g. shaking hands? Are there any alternative forms of struggle?

But this has been also the case in all the last years when there were influenza epidemic. As you certainly know this has also caused many vicitims.

For the majority, they experience no symptoms for up to five days even if they are contagious. Within that period, they can come into contact with many other people, including me.
