The
hurricane and tropical storm “Harvey” in Texas revealed the
misery and disaster that capitalist “development” spreads at the
expense of public security and people's interests. The same, even in
a larger scale, had happened 12 years ago with hurricane “Katrina”
in the states of Luisianna and Mississippi. In both cases, the
heaviest price of the disaster was paid by the poor strata of these
states, the working class and immigrants.
The
record
rainfall and floods, the
“extreme natural phenomena”, cannot explain by themselves alone
the scale of the destruction. The real cause behind the disaster in
Texas is the policy which, in order to maximize business profits,
destroys natural envirnoment, creates anarchy in construction, builds
huge factories, industries, shopping centers without any fundamental
security plan.
