用“反恐”为矿业公司清场:一种典型的武器化叙事Clearing the Way for Mining: The Art of Weaponized Narratives

国际 结构层 · 文化层 The Guardian ↗ 2026-06-23 § 链接
所谓的“正义打击”通常只是为了给资本入场清理物理障碍。
So-called 'justice strikes' are usually just physical clearances for capital entry.

这次美国在委内瑞拉境内定点清除 Tren de Aragua 领导人的行动,是典型的表达武器化(Weaponisation of Expression)。特朗普通过发布一段类似“反恐”的空袭视频,迅速在认知入口处建立了一个简单的叙事:美国在打击恐怖主义、消灭犯罪分子。但如果你把视角从 cultural 层拉到 structural 层,你会发现这不过是一次精准的“资源清场”。

这里的逻辑非常粗暴:为了让 Gold Reserve 和 Crystallex 这些美国矿业公司能顺利拿回被没收的特许权,必须先除掉当地的实际控制者。而“恐怖组织”这个标签,就是最便捷的武器化入口。一旦对方被定义为恐怖分子,那么在委内瑞拉主权领土上进行非法空袭,就从“侵略”变成了“人道主义救援”或“维护安全”。

最讽刺的共谋(Complicity)在于,曾经被美国视为死敌的委内瑞拉政权,在马杜罗被捕后迅速完成了角色切换。新政权通过法律改革向美资敞开大门,与美国达成了一种基于资源分配的利益站队。这种共谋不关心当地矿工的死活,也不关心被炸毁的村庄,他们只关心在新的权力结构中如何分赃。

这种叙事试图制造一种“秩序回归”的假象,但正如文中提到的,除掉一个头目解决不了结构性暴力。当资本用“反恐”作为掩体进入这片法外之地时,真正的暴力并没有消失,它只是从“帮派控制”变成了“资本与国家机器的联合控制”。

The US strike on the Tren de Aragua leader in Venezuela is a textbook example of the Weaponisation of Expression. By releasing a 'counter-terrorism' style aerial video, Trump immediately seized the cognitive entry point, framing the act as a blow against crime. However, shifting the perspective from the cultural layer to the structural layer reveals a crude 'resource clearance' operation.

The logic is simple: to allow US mining companies like Gold Reserve and Crystallex to reclaim their concessions, the actual controllers on the ground must be removed. The 'terrorist' label is the most efficient weaponized entry point. Once a group is branded as terrorists, illegal airstrikes on sovereign soil are transformed from 'aggression' into 'humanitarian intervention' or 'security maintenance.'

The most cynical complicity lies with the Venezuelan regime. After Maduro's capture, the new administration swiftly pivoted, opening natural resources to US capital. This is a strategic alliance based on resource distribution, completely indifferent to the displaced miners or the collateral damage in the Amazon.

This narrative attempts to manufacture a reality of 'restored order,' but removing one leader does nothing to alleviate structural violence. When capital enters a lawless region using 'counter-terrorism' as a shield, the violence doesn't vanish—it merely shifts from 'gang control' to the combined grip of capital and the state machine.
