The Declaration of CumanĂ¡: Capitalism 'threatens life on the planet'
rabble.ca ^ | April 24, 2009 | Various

Posted on 04/26/2009 1:07:16 PM PDT by nobama08

We, the Heads of State and Government of Bolivia, Cuba, Dominica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Venezuela, member countries of ALBA, consider that the Draft Declaration of the 5th Summit of the Americas is insufficient and unacceptable for the following reasons:

1. Capitalism is leading humanity and the planet to extinction. What we are experiencing is a global economic crisis of a systemic and structural nature, not another cyclic crisis. Those who think that with a taxpayer money injection and some regulatory measures this crisis will end are wrong. The financial system is in crisis because it trades bonds with six times the real value of the assets and services produced and rendered in the world, this is not a “system regulation failure”, but a integrating part of the capitalist system that speculates with all assets and values with a view to obtain the maximum profit possible. Until now, the economic crisis has generated over 100 million additional hungry persons and has slashed over 50 million jobs, and these figures show an upward trend.

Translation: Give us, the elite, all the power and control over your lives. We alone can solve your problems.

“We, the Heads of State and Government of Bolivia, Cuba, Dominica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Venezuela”

Bammy didn’t put the US on the list? A crisis wasted...

If this horse**** is true, why are some many citizens from these countries literally dying to get into America. Sorry Jose, I’m not buying it. Neither are 300 million other Americans. A lot of whom ran away from your countries because of your poverty, famine, Marxism, Socialism, Communism, etc.

"1. Capitalism is leading humanity and the planet to extinction."

I can counter that horse manure with two place names:
1. Chernobyl
2. Lake Baikal
Nothing. Absolutely nothing under capitalism even comes close. Not even Love Canal or Three Mile Island.

Things are falling apart in Venezuela since they abandoned capitalism. Apparently the number of items in the supermarkets are down 50%. Food production has dropped since government has seized much of the farmland.

From everything I’ve read about Chernobyl, that disaster was very much a result of communist party politics at the lowest levels.

People got jobs based almost entirely on their loyalty to the party and people who were afraid to speak about dangers out of fear of being labeled disloyal.

Capitalism and the stockholder-owned drug research companies will save their brown axxes when a pandemic does arrive.

Yeah, what a shame. Without the evil capitalist USA, the South Americans could now be living in a German empire, or a Japanese empire, or a Peoples' republic. All of which would be threatening life on the planet.
