外包的暴力与被定价的肉身Outsourced Violence and the Priced Body
这场袭击最令人作呕的不是结果,而是它的运作机制。伊朗政权通过所谓的“代理人”(proxies)在伦敦执行暴力,本质上是一次极低成本的劳务外包。两个罗马尼亚青年被雇佣,成为跨国政治谋杀的工具。在这里,暴力被量化成了某种交易,而受害者的生命权在这种交易中被定价为一项可执行的“任务”。
注意那个辩护律师的说法:被告 Stana 被描述为“功能性文盲”且“不关注时政”。这恰恰揭示了元暴力(meta violence)在执行层面的残酷性:统治者并不需要执行者具备政治觉悟,只需要他们具备被操纵的生物性。他们不需要知道为什么要捅人,只需要知道捅人能换回多少钱。这种将底层人类“工具化”的逻辑,与大公司剥削廉价劳动力、政权通过恐吓维持统治的逻辑完全同构。
而真正的施暴者——那个下令的第三方和背后的政权——在结构层(structural layer)被完美地隔离在法律追责之外。判决书虽然指出了“证据压倒性地指向伊朗政权”,但这在法律执行上依然是无力的。直接层(direct layer)的暴力被两个罗马尼亚人承担,而结构性的元暴力则在德黑兰的办公室内继续运作。这种“隔离机制”确保了权力中心可以享受暴力带来的红利,而无需支付法律代价。
Zeraati 必须在恐惧中再次迁徙,这说明在这次审判之后,Potential 和 Actual 之间的差额依然巨大。法律在此时扮演的是一种表演性正义,它在惩罚工具的同时,无法触及那个制造工具的工厂。
The most revolting part of this attack is not the outcome, but its operational mechanism. The Iranian regime executed violence in London through so-called 'proxies', which is essentially a low-cost outsourcing of political murder. Two Romanian youths were hired as tools for a transnational hit. Here, violence is quantified as a transaction, and the victim's right to exist is priced as a deliverable 'task'.
Note the barrister's argument: Stana was described as 'functionally illiterate' and 'unaware of current affairs'. This precisely reveals the cruelty of meta violence at the execution level: the ruler does not require the executor to have political consciousness, only to be biologically manipulatable. They don't need to know why they are stabbing; they only need to know the price of the stab. This logic of 'instrumentalizing' marginalized humans is isomorphic to how corporations exploit cheap labor or regimes maintain control through terror.
Meanwhile, the true perpetrators—the third party who ordered the hit and the regime behind it—are perfectly isolated from legal accountability at the structural layer. Although the judgment states that evidence 'overwhelmingly points' to the Iranian regime, this remains impotent in legal execution. The direct violence is borne by two Romanians, while the structural meta violence continues to operate within the offices of Tehran. This 'isolation mechanism' ensures that the center of power reaps the dividends of violence without paying the legal price.
Zeraati must relocate again in fear, proving that the gap between Potential and Actual remains vast after this trial. The law here performs a ritual of justice; it punishes the tools while remaining unable to touch the factory that manufactures them.
