madem iyisin

• bertolt brecht'in hayirsever kapitalist'e hitaben yazdigi muhtesem bir siir.
  
  bill gates, ve soros gibi kapitalist pozisyonu itibariyle "yasal", piyasa ekonomisi uzerinden gunluk ekonomik eylemleriyle kuresel boyutta sefalet yaratip, iyiliksever, hayirsever kapitalistler olarak yarattigi sefalete yarabandi tedarik edip, iyi vatandas olarak gecinen philanthropist'e brecht'in uyguladigi (devrimci siddeti cagiran) sembolik siddet. almancam yok, orjinalini bilemiyorum ama turkce'ye cevirisi harika bir siir olmus.
  
  slavoj zizek de siddet kavramini irdeledigi violence namli kitabinda almanca'dan kendi cevirisini kullanmis, cuk oturmus. zizek'in cevirisiyle ingilizcesi de soyle:
  
  the interrogation of the good
  
  step forward: we hear
  that you are a good man.
  you cannot be bought, but the lightning
  which strikes the house, also
  cannot be bought.
  you hold to what you said.
  but what did you say?
  you are honest, you say your opinion.
  which opinion?
  you are brave.
  against whom?
  you are wise.
  for whom?
  you do not consider your personal advantages.
  whose advantages do you consider then?
  you are a good friend.
  are you also a good friend of the good people?
  hear us then: we know.
  you are our enemy. this is why we shall
  now put you in front of a wall. but in consideration
  of your merits and good qualities
  we shall put you in front of a good wall and shoot you
  with a good bullet from a good gun and bury you
  with a good shovel in the good earth.
