Abstract
It has become clear to us from the foregoing that what is called sustainable human development is nothing more than a policy for mobilizing and co-opting forces opposed to progress, transforming them into an army deeply entrenched in its own interests after implicating them in the crimes of imperialism and employing them against their own people in the name of development. This is done in the name of reversing priorities and distorting the history of progress and development, which, for over four centuries, has never been built on prioritizing productive, economic care over social welfare. Since it has proven difficult to reverse these concepts, they have been replaced with new terms (sustainable development, empowerment, good governance, etc.). The sole aim behind these terms is to adapt the world, labeled as underdeveloped, its entities, and its people to the whims of an irrational power before it can be eradicated, rather than adapting this power to the logic of reason. For all the reasons mentioned above, the emphasis on sustainable human development has been presented as floating without a legitimate basis, adrift without sound conceptual foundations... problematic and misleading. It is a program aimed at the degrading inclusion of impoverished segments of society and securing them a share in the global system of corruption. As an opportunity to integrate it, considering it the last bastion haunted by utopia and radicalism, and because utopia and radicalism have become Bush-related taboos, it is being carried out today under the banner of (late) democracy, a Bolshevik-style democracy in which the pregnant womb and the legitimate offspring of it are absent.
