The West and the 'double standards' smear

> What is important to note about the “double standards” smear is that it highlights the fact that the West does have standards and does stand for certain values, even if its own record on standards and values is far from perfect. Russia and China do not, and their record on standards and values is well known to be abysmal.

Banks are pouring trillions of dollars into the expansion of the world’s most emitting industries in the global south, according to a new report.

Developing countries are often on the frontlines of the climate crisis yet lack the resources to enact climate action plans. As such, they require trillions of dollars in aid to decarbonize their economies and adapt to a warming world.

But financial firms are helping to push such countries in the opposite direction.

Great video summarising the Oxford Young Lives longitudinal study of 12,000 children over 20 years in four countries: Ethiopia, India, Peru, Vietnam.

I am a fan of this work.

If you haven't had a chance take look at the numerous resources.

This is not Esteban's first fight against Big Oil. He is best known for leaking confidential information about #fracking in #Mendoza (another Argentinean region) and mobilized thousands of people to protest the #Argentine government's #climate policy, after which he had to flee the country. He is also co-founder of the #Debt4Climate movement, which demands that the #WorldBank and #IMF's debt to countries in the #GlobalSouth be canceled so that there can be a just transition to #RenewableEnergy.

The National #Indigenous Congress (CNI) and the campaign #ElSurResiste in #Mexico are calling for a global action day against #neocolonialism on October 12.

We're sharing the full Englisch translation of their communiqué here (with links to the Spanish original and German translation at the end). Let's make #October12 a loud, international day of #solidarity with the people of the global south! ✊

** COMUNICADO TOWARDS THE GLOBAL ACTION EL SUR RESISTE ON OCTOBER 12, 2023. **

More than two thousand years ago, the war between empires for the acquisition of land, natural resources, and geostrategic trade sites, was based on the conquest of territories and the creation of borders. This was always done at the expense of the destruction of cultures and the blood of indigenous peoples.

This history of genocide and plunder, has Europe in its centre, seeking to expand itself to Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Thanks to this massive plundering, the great economic and political powers emerged. They started to compete for power and hegemony in a world under construction, for its borders and trade routes.

This ambition would finance campaigns of "exploration" to all corners of the planet. One of them, took place more than 500 years ago, with "the discovery of America, the clash of worlds". This history was written by the victors, with the blood of millions of murdered indigenous people and the ethnocide of millenary cultures.

At this point in time, the plundering and looting became global, and the main commercial routes of the great capitals were established. This, together with the advance of industry and technology, made historical developments more and more violent, happening simultaneously everywhere in the world.

Here and now, when we talk about Neocolonization, we reflect beyond the theory, discourses, and historical debt of the Global North, (these are issues that we must continue to work on individually and collectively). To speak of Neocolonization, is to speak of the threats and violence happening to all corners of the Global South and to Mother Nature. These are destroying our PRESENT and threatening the FUTURE of all of us.

However, this is also a history of resistance. We are the insurrections against pharaohs and kings, we are the revolts against landowners and rulers, we are the guerrillas, the independences, the revolutions, the strikes, the occupations, the recovery of lands, and of course we are also, Organization and Autonomy, Cultures and Traditions, Alliances, Networks and Articulations, we are our Ancestries and Territories. We are equal because we are different and among so many differences, there are more things that unite us, than those that divide us.

In order not to forget, to remember, to unite in the face of so much adversity, WE CALL on the Peoples, Communities, Organizations, Collectives, Cooperatives, and all expressions of social movements relating to Indigenous, Peasant, Popular, Anarchist, Feminist, Environmentalist, Human Rights Defenders, Free Media and other struggles, to organize and carry out actions on October 12 in a decentralized, organized and coordinated manner.

We demand the end of the dispossession, plunder and destruction of nature and territories by big global capital and corporate states!

Stop racism, fascism and imposition of new military and industrial borders, migration is not a crime!

Stop violence and repression against social movements, organizations, communities, and peoples defending nature, the future and life itself on the planet!

Stop the war of extermination against the Zapatist, Kurdish, Palestinian peoples and all the peoples of the GLOBAL SOUTH, who struggle and resist for a dignified human life!

Enough of trans-feminicide violence, respect for diversity and gender dissidence!

We demand Truth and Justice for those who were disappeared and murdered!

Freedom for political prisoners!

For housing and a dignified life, stop gentrification and predatory tourism!

If they touch one of us, they touch us all!

For an anti-patriarchal, anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, anti-racist, anti-racist and anti-imperialist struggle, another system is possible!

THE SOUTH RESISTS! in every corner of the #GLOBALSOUTH!

If you want to participate and share the activities that will take place in your town, send an email to elsurresiste@riseup.net, signatures and information will be received until September 17.

The Fed has a mandate: low unemployment and to keep inflation in check.

What people don't realize is what's not in the Fed's mandate is the livelihood of everybody else in the world. So both in the early eighties and last year the Fed raised interest rates really fast to quell a domestic issue [inflation]. This absolutely crushes the Global South.

Is it fair that institutions from poor countries pay as much for #PID|s as institutions from rich countries?
