Anti-Capitalism

"We have two paths: either capitalism dies or Mother Earth dies. Either capitalism lives or Mother Earth lives. Of course, brothers and sisters, we are here for life, for humanity and for the rights of Mother Earth. Long live the rights of Mother Earth! Death to capitalism!"

One month before being illegally removed from office, Bolivian President Evo Morales delivered an impassioned critique of capitalism at the United Nations in September 2019: “The underlying problem is in the model of production and consumerism, in the ownership of natural resources and in the unequal distribution of wealth,” Morales told world leaders gathered in New York.[1]

Fascist Coup

Despite having won the most votes [2] by November 10th, 2019, Morales was forced to resign by an unelected anti-Indigenous fascist coup government[3][4][5] which received covert support from the U.S. Military[6], and soon fled to Mexico.[7]

Only a week before the coup, the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, canceled a 2018 deal with ACISA, a German company that makes electric car batteries from Lithium.[8] This partnership’s ambition was to produce batteries for Elon Musk's Tesla, one of ACISA’s clients,[9][10] by opening to ACISA & Tesla, Inc. the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in southwestern Bolivia, home to an estimated 50-70% of the world’s lithium.
