According to an article in Le Monde and written by Jean-Yves Nau, AIDS has become no longer
in an epidemic but in a "pandemic" of dire consequences for mankind, affecting especially
today, much of underdeveloped countries in Africa and Asia, as well as americas and the
Caribbean. "Thus, the columnist said that after twenty years of his appearance this new
sexually transmitted disease and blood became, in fact, a contagious condition
characteristic of the third world, bearer for this reason, the potential for serious germ
discrimination ". You are right Mr Nau, AIDS is a disease mainly Third World and it ratified
the last conference of the United Nations against the disease (UNAIDS), November 24, 1998:
95% of the virus carriers are natives of developing countries or live in them and 70% of
those infected are Africans. Because of this AIDS has been described as the revenge of the
third world. Is Revenge why? Certainly those who think that the blame first and second world
of all evils in the third. A similar example occurred when a motorcycle christened as
"revenge Japanese" in a clear allusion to the disproportionate damage to the country Nippon
due to the explosion of bombs Nagassaky and Hiroshima. Of course, in the case of the third
world, there has been no such bombs. By contrast, there is poverty ruthless. There is
hunger. There are uncontrollable unemployment. There are dangerous ignorance. There is pain.
There is frustration. And all this kills more people per day that many bombs of Hiroshima.
Apparently all this has no relationship with the developed world, with the rich world, with
the affluent world. But, indisputably, the first world into something has helped because we
live in a universe governed by market rules and those rules create inequalities, injustices,
imbalances. Marx said: "behind a great fortune there is always an enormous crime". The truth
is that Marxist or antimarxismo, rightist or leftist, we all know the undisputed rule of
capitalism: the wealth of some, impoverishes others. And guilty or not, the developed world
has not made the necessary efforts to at least alleviate the misery of their fellow human
beings, but, by contrast, has taken advantage of all its comparative advantages in economic,
financial, agricultural, industrial policy and to enlarge its wealth not only themselves but
mainly at the expense of the southern hemisphere. Therefore, if we consider that the
breeding ground for AIDS is poverty and ignorance, we can not disapprove of all those
brought to the disease as the revenge of the third world. What is the catastrophic state of
nearly comatose who allegedly was avenging.
